Babs Shares Delusions with Her Fans

For those of you who have never had the pleasure, Barbara Streisand’s website (what, I stumbled across it when I was looking for porn) offers advice and consolation to the discerning liberal. Of course, this begs the question: Exactly who is seeking solace in Babs as their political beacon? Probably the same people who still think Chevy Chase is funny. Below are just a few smatterings of her keen insight.

The Media:
“Frankly, the idea that the media is sympathetic to conservative causes rather than liberal ones is obvious.”

“Dan Rather was castigated by the media for airing the Bush National Guard story before completely verifying one document.” And her supporting argument for their authenticity, “The LA times also reported the story.”

“Where these [Conservative] news outlets feel free to proudly proclaim their "conservative bias" by sharing their unwanted opinions, prestigious TV network anchors like Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Bill Moyers and Jim Lehrer carefully tow-the-line to present the news in a balanced manner.”

“CBS's story included substantive and uncontested evidence that Bush didn't show up for duty when he was supposed to.”

General Hallucinations:
“Everything good that has happened in this country is founded on the ideology of liberalism.”

“Contrary to Republican slogans against "Big Government" or "Tax and Spend Liberals," if you look at the reality, government spending is a key part of what makes this country function and provides the services that Americans both depend on and take for granted.”

Malaise and Confusion:
“I am flabbergasted by the American public's continued support for Bush.”

“I stand here flabbergasted at what is going on in today's world.”

“I am completely flabbergasted and bewildered that when the public is polled regarding which candidate they trust to deal with terrorism, they choose George W. Bush.”

“I am perplexed by the American public's continued support and willingness to give Bush high marks on the question of national security.”

Maniacal Rants:
“A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles.”
