What is a multi-millionaire Grammy winning artist and respected celebrity to do? Barbra Streisand is supposed to attend the Kennedy Center Awards Ceremony that will honor Yentl along with celebrities Morgan Freeman, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, but the DC event comes with a catch: she will have to meet and play nice with the prez. And no one (celebrity-wise) hates the Bush klan more than Babs, except for maybe bloated advocate Tim Robbins Michael Moore.
Remember, this is the same big-nosed vocalist who frequently stopped during her "comeback" tour to bash George W. via sketch comedy(?). Whatever.
Kennedy Center is already planning the damage control, saying, "Typically, the honorees go to the White House and see the president, and that's something that's been happening for years regardless of personal politics. It's all pretty standard."
Yep, pretty standard stuff. Just make sure to frisk our lady of the People to make sure she's not packing heat. Don't worry Babs, one more month and he's out of there! Just grit your teeth and bear it.
brain dead babs, matters about as much as a fart in a hurricane.
Her Name is Barbra (and its "Yentl")
what kind of homo are you?
what's with the remark about 'big nose'? do you have an issue?
"do you have an issue?"
Obviously, that Streisand has a big nose. So what?
As a reminder:

Drew, wow, what a crappy column. Shocking how desperate you are to find yourself witty and fail at every turn.
Let's see, Streisand doesn't care for Bush. Duh! Like more than half the country! She has been critical as she has every rite to be. So what? This is not a political event, it is an artistic one.
Streisand is a class act all the way and this will be a total non-story the day after it happens.
Grow up.
I totally agree with Chris Sullivan. Streisand is a class act and she will shake hands with Pres. Bush, smile politely and go on and mingle with the other guests. You may not like Barbra Streisand (or her "big nose") but I seriously doubt she will be disrespectful to G. Bush.
Please, I have never seen so much disrespect for any President, all of this has been created by the media. She is an emabarrassment to this country. And she would never have made it anywhere else but here. I love all these Bush bashing celebrities. I'd love to see this woman warbling in Hugo Chavez's land. I suspect she would prob be in jail. She should feel fortunate that she is in the US. As bad as the media says the US is, there is nowhere else I'd rather be. I mean we give billions to Africa yet they are in the same predicament they have always been in. Why, the people-they don't even try. Here, our forefathers, were great leaders who built this country and that is why the US is great.
BARBRA WILL BE THE LADY AND CLASS ACT SHE IS WHEN SHE MEETS PRESIDENT BUSH… WHAT KIND OF ARTICLE DID YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO WRITE HERE.
A BIG NOSE.. SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL NOSE AND BEAUTIFUL FACE AND A BEAUTIFUL SOUL. SHE IS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, AND SPEAKS ELOQUENTLY…
INSTEAD OF MAKING NEGATIVE REMARKS ABOUT HER
WHY NOT SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR THIS TO AIR ON TV.
AND THEN VOICE YOUR OPINION.. THIS IS A GREAT
WELL DESERVED HONOUR FOR BARBRA AND TOO LONG IN THE MAKING…
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR MAKING SUCH A STATEMENT…
YOU COULD NEVER BE HALF THE PERSON BARBRA IS….
