I guess it was not too surprising that Barbra Streisand made my open mouth, insert foot list today. She is well known for saying dumb things. Well, I can't even write what she said to the (probably) only Bush supporter in the audience of one of her shows. Why anyone would listen to her lousy "music" let alone go to one of her shows, I can't figure that out.
Only she wasn't singing. Nope, she was doing what she thinks she needs to do, rip on President Bush. Like no "celebrities" rip on the president! Well, she had to bring on an Bush impersonator and make the crowd put up with a crummy skit. So the audience starts to jeer, she asks people to stop, most do. Except for one guy, he continues and she loses it.
What gets me is someone like Streisand and the "tolerance" crowd. Their tolerance does not include those who disagree with them. How dare they interrupt her little skit. Conservative columnists like Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin are interrupted and even forced to stop speaking almost every time they talk. When a liberal does it, its noble or something to do so. When the rare time a conservative (that is if he is one to begin with, I doubt it, why would one go to her show) does it they are rude, a crackpot and most importantly stopping the "free" speech of the "artist". Its a huge double standard!
Secondly, why do "celebrities" think we want to know about their politics? Some of the most ignorant political statements are said by these people. They think they know what is best for folks. But they could be the most misinformed people in the world at times it seems. I think "celebrities" need to shut up.
