"In his CNN interview tonight Joe Biden shows the competence, decency, and experience we hope to have in a President. It is a stark contrast with Donald Trump."

New York Magazine Washington Correspondent Olivia Nuzzi gave a play-by-play of Streisand’s seemingly impromptu political moment during the concert. According to her tweets, the singer polled the crowd to find out if there were more Democrats or Republicans and proceeded to sing “a parody of Send in the Clowns about Trump.” The Trump supporters in attendance, Nuzzi said, were irritated and shouted “Just sing!”

Barbra Streisand compared President Trump to the nursery-rhyme character Humpty Dumpty in a recent interview, calling him a “fat egg, sitting on a wall, and one day he’s going to fall off the wall.” "And crack,” added the singer and actress, a longtime critic of Trump, in an interview with The Guardian released on Friday. Streisand’s interview with the publication was one of her latest stops in an ongoing promotional tour for her new album, "Walls." Though the new album doesn’t mention Trump anywhere by name, Streisand made clear in the interview that much of the project links to a...

FULL TITLE: Abortion Activist Barbra Streisand Blames Trump for Parkland Shooting: He “Brings Out the Violence in People” Abortion advocates are no strangers to making ironic comments. Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards does that all the time — saying Planned Parenthood believes every person has a right to life, for example. But longtime abortion activist Barbra Streisand is the latest to make a very ironic statement. Although she’s steadfastly supports the violence associated with killing unborn children in abortions, Streisand is blaming president Donald Trump for the Parkland school shooting in Florida. Her evidence? President Trump supposedly brings out violence...

UPDATE: Barbara Walters was totally ambushed by ABC today, my sources say. And the reality is, if she were even contemplating retirement of some kind, either Liz Smith or Cindy Adams would have reported it first. Now every media outlet has picked up this crazy story, and it’s quickly becoming “fact.” Stay turned to see if Walters rebuts. Interesting timing too since “The View” is not live tomorrow, but taped for Good Friday. ABC really played it well.

OPRAH WINFREY dissed by BARBRA STREISAND and talk show titan is more than miffed --As OWN just can’t get NO respect! Barbra Streisand was so petrified that Oprah would pester her to appear on her troubled network, she crossed the TV titan off the guest list for a black-tie gala. Insiders say Oprah was left out in the cold when Barbra’s good friend, world renowned fashion designer Donna Karan, was honored at the Dream Foundation’s annual gala fundraiser – just a stone’s throw from Oprah’s sprawling Montecito, Calif., estate. “When Donna was drawingup the invite list, she put Oprah at...

A bond is a contract to repay borrowed money within a specified term and with fixed-interval interest payments. Build America Bonds (BABs) were created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, signed into law by President Obama in February 2009, with the intention of providing a low cost means of borrowing for state, municipality and county agencies. Build America Bonds are taxable fixed-income securities that help these agencies finance capital expenditures through subsidized borrowing. (snip ) The Pros • 35% subsidy/tax credit • Interest rates comparable to corporate bonds - this means the bonds are typically high-yielding • Allow municipalities...

An Iowa congressman says an Army general was not out of line when he addressed Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California) as "ma'am" during a recent Senate hearing. Brigadier General Michael Walsh, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was testifying last week before Boxer's Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works about the progress of the Louisiana restoration process in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Boxer: "Well, why has it been delayed? Walsh: "Ma'am, at the L-A-C-P-R is..." Boxer: "You know, do me a favor. Could say 'Senator' instead of 'ma'am?'" Walsh: "Yes." Boxer: "It's just a thing; I worked so...

“Gawd, I really looked like a b**ch!” exclaimed Mrs. Barbara Boxer, a California politician who occupies a political office in Washington, D.C., as she watched a replay of her disrespectful interruption of Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, during his testimony on the Hurricane Katrina restoration process. The General--who has served his country admirably, risked his life and limb, and devoted his life to preserve the lady’s freedom to disrespect him and others in uniform who are trained to refer to ladies as “Ma’am” and gentlemen as “Sir”--was rudely “dressed down” as they say in...

"Funny Girl" Barbra Streisand won't be laughing about this one: her assistant was busted on drug charges. Tina Fortenberry was arrested in Malibu on Wednesday after cops found cocaine, methamphetamines and a dangerous weapon inside her car, cops said Saturday. Police pulled over Fortenberry, 52, on the Pacific Coast Highway when they saw her vehicle had expired tags. When they searched her car, they allegedly found the drugs. They also seized a "sap," a blackjack-style weapon, according to the celebrity Web site TMZ. Malibu police couldn't confirm the type of weapon. Fortenberry - who was on her way to the...

Barbra Streisand sang and spoke out Tuesday night for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama at a star-studded fundraiser in Beverly Hills, Calif. She sang four songs, according to sources. They were interesting choices: "When the Sun Comes Out," "Make Someone Happy," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" and "Shining Hour." In between songs, Streisand spoke a little bit about Obama and the reason she was there. She said, "I'm not here to make a political speech... Tonight my thoughts are only personal... I can't wait for the morning on November 5th when the people who said 'Yes...

“A lot of people have gotten nervous and concerned. Why is this as close as it is? And what’s going on?” Mr. Obama said, speaking to about 300 people over dinner at the Greystone Mansion. “We always knew this was going to be hard – this is a leap for the American people.”

Maybe he was sick of the lack of media attention…maybe he had enough of the late night talk show hosts poking fun at his age…maybe he realized that belonging to a party that has been associated with rich, white men was not going to connect with voters in this historical election year. Or maybe he was just ready to take back some of the spotlight that has shined so brightly on Barack Obama and the Democrats since the beginning of the Democratic convention. Desperation can motivate people to make some pretty cynical and hypocritical decisions. Whatever the reason, John McCain’s...

A "Deal or No Deal" model claims she's been terrorized by Barbra Streisand's goddaughter. TMZ has obtained the restraining order filed today by Laura Mary Shields -- the chick who opens case #22 -- against Caleigh Peters, the daughter of Jon Peters (former boyfriend of Streisand), claiming "I have already been physically and verbally attacked in a public place and I'm scared if I see her again she will attack me." According to Shields' website (and you should see this website!), she has an IQ of 158 and is a member of Mensa, even appearing on a cover of Mensa...

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — The funny girl wasn't laughing. Barbra Streisand had a drink lobbed at her Monday after a mid-concert skit poking fun at President Bush. Streisand's publicist, Dick Guttman, said a paper cup filled with some sort of liquid was thrown on stage but apparently did not hit Streisand during her second performance in this Fort Lauderdale suburb.

During a recent concert Babs launched into one of her patented Bush tirades and when someone stood up to basically tell her to "shut up and sing", she responed as only a tolerant, compassionate lib could. Hit the link and allow the audio to load and play. If you have sensitive ears I suggest hitting the "STFU for kids" button. UNEDITED
