Change you can believe in!

…Provided, of course, you’re able to bracket all that, you know — sameness

September 16, 2008: “Streisand to Perform at Hollywood Fundraiser for Obama”
November 27, 2007: “Streisand Endorses Clinton”
June 26, 2004: “Streisand Sings for Kerry”
August 10, 2000: “Ms. Streisand will also lend her cachet to Mr. Gore’s campaign, headlining a concert at the Shrine Auditorium next Thursday that is expected to raise at least $2.5 million for the Democratic National Committee. Ms. Streisand will sing three songs.”
November 1996: “Diva Democracy: Bill Clinton takes her calls. So isn’t it time to take her politics seriously?”
1992: “Streisand’s concert fundraising events helped propel former President Bill Clinton into the spotlight and into office.[11] Streisand later introduced Clinton at his inauguration in 1993”

In Streisand’s defense, I suppose it’s possible that somebody in the DNC has pictures of her getting wildly banged by Trent Lott — though the more likely explanation for 16-years continuous service to various and sundry Democrats is that, well, nothing much has changed at all in the party, save for the price of dinners.

And at about $31K per ticket for the Obama fundraiser, all involved can eat well, drink well, and speak up for the little guy! — while quite effectively pricing those grubby little needers right out of the venue where the shiny people presume to champion them.

No use ruining a good pair of shoes, after all.

Hope!

O!

    She’s sort of looking rode hard and put up wet I think. She did a duet with Don Johnson, who is rumored to have a terrifyingly large penis. Also she is uneducated but she knows enough to speak in an affected style in an attempt to compensate. These are the things I know about Barbra Streisand.

  2. Mr. Pink says:

    Wow just like Barbara Streisand, cheap UK car insurance does like to run it’s mouth about politics. Hell that guy has commented on everything in the pub pretty much.

    Funny Looking Lady.

  4. slackjawedyokel says:

    Speaking of change, didja ever notice that Streisand’s nose is the perfect shape for prying open the change boxes on pay telephones?

    If there were still any pay telephones, that is.

  5. molyuk says:

    If you punch Barbara Streisand in the nose, the Diamond of Pantheos will fall out.

    That’s all I’ve got.

  6. I defecate in PBS tote bags says:

    Reminds me of John McCain’s SNL appearance where they did a parody commercial for “John McCain’s Greatest Hits” and after he sang with the most awful voice imaginable he promised to never sing again if Barbara Streissand would shut up about politics.

  7. Mr. Pink says:

    In what century did she have any talent?

  8. Benedick says:

    I suppose all the political work is part of some post-Yentl work-release program.

    I’d love to be a fly on the wall at this gig, if just to see what sorta shit I’m supposed to be clinging to these days.

    The little guy’s that the assembled gliteratti will be most concerned with are the waiters and busboys…

    “Oh Manuel, another bottle of Dom Perignon for Mr & Ms Sarandon

    “Isn’t it terrible how the economy is soooooooo bad these days…Maybe we should tip the servers…”

    Why??? Aren’t they getting paid already???

    “As I was saying, it’s such a shame that times are soooooooo hard…”

    $30k for a ticket?

    I thought this was the worst economy since the Great Depression?

  13. Puck says:

    The irony, you can smell it from a mile away!

    Ten miles, if you’ve got a honker like Barbra’s.

    Yes Babs seems to be the kiss of death. She also slept in the Lincoln Bedroom from time to time under Pres. Clinton. (Maybe that’s why Hillary had to learn to handle phone calls at 3AM? Not that there’s anything wrong with that…)
    Also, why no outrage from the media about Obama hauling in $66 Million in a month’s time, or more than $450 million to date, from who know whom?
    If it were a Republican who forswore public finance in order to haul in half a billion dollars from who knows whom, the liberal media would have a conniption and call him/her the most corrupt public official ever to run for President. But there’s no double standard is there?
    Noooo…

    Yentl Noses. Metal Boats. Rental Coats.

    Is there anyone else out there who heard that infamous episode of “Talk Talk”?

  18. Change I can believe in:
    Dump the Pelosi-led Democrat majority Congress!
    The worst Congress ever deserves so much to be booted on the beck and call of the “CHANGE” campaign.
    I keep promising my liberal pals that Bush will be in retirement if we can send Pelosi there as well.

    Didn’t you hear? The One is now fulfilling campaign finance reform goals because unlike all those other dirty politicians who get all their money from Special Interests, he only gets it from The People.

    The proof that they are Good People and not Special Interests I guess is that that they give to the Obamessiah.

    I admit, it pretty daring. I mean, if they hadn’t read it in “Animal Farm” they might not have come up with that rather bold excuse.

    Hi,

    I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:

    “Impeach Senator Barack Obama”
    http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/obamaimpeachment?e ….

    I really think this is an important cause, and I’d like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It’s free and takes less than a minute of your time.

    Thanks!……………

    Sounds like she’s really keeping her nose to the grindstone. Needs a coarser grit though..

  23. Rob Crawford says:

    No, Slart, not the band!

    The “Talk Talk” I’m thinking about was a syndicated radio show in the late ’80s. The show in question opened with a supposed “misunderstanding” between the host and its producer — the host intended the subject to be “mental notes”, but the producer thought he said “metal boats”. Following that, for two solid hours, every caller had a different subject for the show. Yentl noses. Menstrual bloats. Little totes.

    Folks like Baracky and Barbara Streisand are all about the little guy.
