She Sounds So Sincere

...until you realize she could give a rat's patootie about what the OLD regime did for/to women. And where's she been for the past 3 years while they've been getting this thing in motion, huh?

Barbra Streisand is worried about women’s rights in the new Iraqi regime. “With the recent Iraqi election, the only regime that we have helped to erect is a theocratic one, where fundamental Islamic law will likely continue to repress the Iraqi people, spread religious intolerance and deny basic rights to women,” Streisand writes on her Web site. “Is this what we are fighting for?”

I haven't noticed her on any planes heading to Baghdad to emphasize her concern. She'd miss her 'Pensacola, Wings of Gold' reruns.

I wrote Babs off years ago. Sadly, I must add, she was one of my favorite actresses and singers. Until she forgot that she was an actress and a singer.

What's this "we" she's talking about? What the f**k has she fought for?

She fought for the right to wear diamond necklaces to concerts benefiting the poor.
