STREISAND: Wellstone Crash "NO ACCIDENT"!
MediaResearch ^ | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 | Brent Baker

Barbra Streisand, the New York Post's "Page Six" column asserted on Monday, "is privately saying that Senator Paul Wellstone's plane crash was 'no accident.'"

Meanwhile, Streisand's Web site urges her fans to vote, warning: "If the Republicans end up with control of the presidency, the Senate, the House of Representatives and the federal courts, there will not be any check on the power of the right wing. The result would be devastating for reproductive choice, the environment, civil liberties, Social Security and health care, as well as corporate accountability." In short, she contended, "Republicans are about protecting the corporations while Democrats are about protecting people."

An excerpt from the November 4 New York Post "Page Six" item, by Richard Johnson with Paula Froelich and Chris Wilson, which Brit Hume highlighted on his FNC show:

She's quoted bogus Shakespearean passages, misspelled the name of Rep. Dick Gephardt, and issued a position paper identifying Saddam Hussein as the "president of Iran." Now liberal activist Barbra Streisand is privately saying that Sen. Paul Wellstone's plane crash was "no accident."

"I was shocked but, knowing a bit about her, not surprised by her statement," a witness told The Post's Braden Keil. "She said there's more to this than meets the eye."...

Streisand expressed her paranoid conspiracy theory to an audience of interior designers bidding on the chance to decorate a planned addition to her Malibu estate.

The singer, who recently sold her triplex on Central Park West for half of what she originally asked three years ago, gave up looking for another apartment in New York and is sending her furniture out west, where she is building a separate building to house the antique items....

In a letter to the five candidates bidding for the job, she tells the prospects she won't have time to discuss anything until after the election.

"She then says they better be voting Democratic and goes into a long political missive about reproductive choice, the Supreme Court, the environment and the power of the right wing," adds the source.

Babs' Web site -- which hawks everything from soup mugs to golf balls -- consists largely of her political statements, with a big section defending her screw-ups.

Last year, her site urged fans to be more energy-efficient even while she criss-crossed the country on fossil fuel-sucking private jets, roamed the roads in gas-guzzling limos and SUVs, and vacationed on big power boats.

Streisand also urged her fellow Americans to set air conditioners at 78 degrees. One source told Keil that Babs kept the 16 rooms in her unoccupied Central Park West triplex as cold as a meat locker.

And don't forget the time Streisand urged everyone to conserve energy by hanging laundry outside on lines, rather than use electric clothes dryers. But when asked if Streisand herself was using a backyard clothesline, her spokesman said: "She never meant that it necessarily applied to her."

Did you catch Brit Hume talking about this yesterday? He segued from a story about a law to prevent idiots and mental defectives from voting into the Streisand story. He did it with an air of innocence and a completely straight face too.

She's right, it was no accident. All the dead people who had voted for him wanted a recall.

This what is to be expected from a New Yorker with a limited education.

And then investigating the crash is the responsibility of NTSB.

In an earlier post on FR, it was mentioned that the pilot had some kind of connection with the Moussaoui case. It had something to do with a stolen computer, I believe, from a flight school. Anybody know which post that was? M

Interesting article. He could still have been a good pilot even if he was a crook. Maybe he decided to end it all and take Wellstone with him. We'll never know what did happen, probably.

I hear Glade works much faster Babs, but you might want to get at the root problem and check with a dietician.

To have sex or to not have sex, that is the choice.

There's another choice too. Keep the baby or give it up for adoption...

BABS for president or at least queen. At least she can sing her own national anthem.

A meter is usually intended to measure a fluctuating quantity. There wouldn't be any point in placing your BS meter on Babs, since it would be continuously pegged. An idiot light might be more appropriate.

"Republicans are about protecting the corporations while Democrats are about protecting people."

Well who works at corporations? Monkeys?

And Dems certainly don't give a crap about the self-employed "people".As Hillary said during the healthcare debate: "I am not responsible for every undercapitalized business".

People over big business, huh? Yeah right.

Somebody please give this one a fresh roll of heavy-duty foil. And check the seams in her cap; evidently her seams are not sealed tightly.
