Heh--just saw this:

"THE IRONIC FURTHER TRUTH.. Hidden in this example of diverted news priorities is the fact that Barbra Streisand is a great speller, meticulous in her written communications!"

Every misspelling comes from Streisand's essay, in which she misspells all these words:

Irag
curruption
dictatoriship
crediblity
Adminstration
warrented
desperatly
preceedings
ouside
subpoening
responsibilty

Hah, that page is funny.

I don't understand, the graphic I've seen comes from a screen capture of the same website, obviously the same background and everything. Yet that page claims that that letter was released by a Republican to whom it was accidentally faxed. So, if it was originally a page accidentally faxed to a republican and released by said republican (whoever that is), why does it look like a screen capture from the very site now trying to explain it? Why would the republican who released it release a screen capture of a clearly color website with the same stuff on it? Why go through that trouble?

That's funny.

The interesting thing in all of this is that this poor, misguided entertainer stopped her education at the high school level. While I do not condescend in any way on people who did not choose college, she has no business calling someone else a C-student when she never even went.

Source.

Because Ms. Streisand, powered by her enormous ego, usually faxes her posts on her web site to Capitol Hill, particularly if she thinks she is right about something.

This might be the first time such a missive has gone out with such glaring errors, but she deserves the ridicule for either not having her staff proof the letter, or simply for being a dumbass.

The first letter with the misspellings--back in 2002--was faxed to someone by accident; the page he linked to was a page on her site.

The screen capture he's linking to today looks as if it's on her site somewhere, but he said nothing about it being faxed to anyone.

Just found the actual page:

http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/BarbraStreisand/statements.html#balancedpower

Looks like Drudge got a screenshot of it before someone fixed all her spelling errors. Wonder if she'll claim she dictated this one, too?

I don't remember it being an accident - she routinely sends letters out to Democratic senators/reps on the hill. I thought the last letter was sent out to a republican senator by a staffer in another office.

Did she simply screw up a telephone number for that one?

nashBridges: I don't remember it being an accident

Streisand claimed it was:

"The story behind the misspelled words is explained here only because those spellings were used as a ruse to avoid addressing the real substance of the memo. The questions raised in that note are far more pertinent to the decisions Americans will be making this November. The memo was DICTATED BY MS. STREISAND ON THE PHONE as she was rehearsing for her performance at a recent gala to raise funds for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Unfortunately, it was taken down and typed by a new employee who sent out a first draft before it had been reviewed by Ms. Streisand or checked for spelling. On top of that, as Barbra ruefully recalls, "It was also faxed to a wrong number.. my luck, a Republican."

Peeple. Peeple who need peepool,

Were childrun, kneeding other chldren
And yet leting a grown-up pried

Acting more like chldren than childrehn
Louvers ar verry spaceyoul peepool
There the luckyest peple in the worled
With won person one verrie spehshool prsoon
A feeling dep in yur sole
Sayz you were have now your hole
No more hunger and thurst
But furst be a person who needs peephole
Pepule who need peepoles

Pretty funny that Drudge thinks this is newsworthy.

If by car accident you mean that a man and woman had sexual relations in the back of a sedan and she was the accidental product, then yes.

That could be the title of a biography. Or perhaps a poem.

I don't care about rich idiots...

no I don't care about rich idiots.

I know, it doesn't really rhyme. But I never said I was good at poetry, so kiss my ass.

A high school dropout calling an MBA stupid - that is classic.

While I do not have much respect for an MBA, it does take a significant amount of intelligence to complete high school, an undergraduate college education, and get into an MBA program - especially at an ivy league university.

Bush does talk like an idiot at times, and I strongly disagree with many of the decisions he has made as President, but I am smart enough to know I will be immediately dismissed by most thinking people if I say he is stupid simply because I disagree with his decisions or beliefs.
