When one uses a blog to scold people for a lack of education, it's best to ensure that the post has been thoroughly checked for spelling and grammar. This lesson apparently escaped Barbra Streisand, along with most of the English classes she attended, according to Beautiful Atrocities:

"Over the last 5 years, Bush's leadership has resembled that of a dictatorship. The arrogance of this C student [Bush has Harvard MBA, Streisand has high-school education] who maligns his opponents’ crediblity [sic] by calling them flip floppers, is the biggest flip flopper himself! When debating Al Gore during the 2000 presidential elections, Bush spoke against nation building, yet went into Irag [sic] a year later [sic] to national build [sic]…"

Here's a sample of this same rant by the critic of Bush's intellect:

The party that holds the majority in both the House and the Senate controls the entire congressional agenda. Everything from what bills are considered, to how long committees debate them, to whether bills get reported out onto the floor, and finally whether a vote gets scheduled, is all determined by the leadership of both the House and the Senate. In the past, there have been instances when members of congress, in their oversight of the President, were courageous enough, regardless of their party affiliation, to step up to their constitutional obligation to be a check and balance on the White House. In the 1970’s, during the Nixon Adminstration, serious political curruption arose and the Republican leadership stepped up and took responsibilty by holding hearings and subpoening administration officials. Eventually, the President was forced to resign rather than face impeachment preceedings that likely would have been successful. It is clear that today's Republican Congressional leaders are not prepared to hold this President accountable. Therefore, it’s critical that people elect members of the Democratic party to the House and Senate so that a new leadership can take control. Only if this occurs,[comma fault] can we even begin to imagine a time when there will be a myriad of investigations so desperatly needed on so many issues…let alone the ultimate investigation which would involve the conduct of the President of the United States and the determination of whether his actions warrented impeachment proceedings.

Streisand should either avoid criticizing anyone on the basis of their education, or she should hire an editor with a passing familiarity with the English language.

It's funny that she mis-fires so badly in her political statements. In the rest of her website she comes across as so unassuming and modest...

You've got to love celebs. They make one realise that there is something worse than politicians running the country.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Yeah, I cringe whenever a celebrity starts in with the political pontificating. Sean Penn: :puke:

If dynamite were brains, Streisand wouldn't have enough to blow her nose.

Extra points to those who knew this: Babs got her start in porno movies.

While cruising around, I also found this about Barbra - from 2001.

Streisand attacks 'Destructive' Bush

The three-page memo tries to rally the Democrats against Bush because they seem "paralysed, demoralised and depressed" since losing the November election. Streisand has been a long-time Democrat supporter. If the party does not fight back, she says, they will remain on the back foot "with our fingers holding the dyke against the Republican revolution."......


Fingers holding the dyke...hmmmm.
