Comments on Take That, Oprah!

if this doesn't sink her campaign, she's unstoppable.

Looks like I'm voting Republican next year.

I always vote Streisand, and am grateful to have my marching orders for 2008.

Exactly. Why Streisand is still considered a star, let alone a political heavyweight, is a total mystery. Clinton should say "sorry, no thanks, not interested".

Just wait until she turns into mecha-Barbara Streisand.

How did you find that picture of Joe Camel singing?

Maybe that Zogby poll that had Clinton losing to all the Republicans was somehow already taking this into account.

"Who would John Edwards need, to round this out?"
"How about Hillary Clinton?"

Looks like Hilldog's going for the youth vote. It's hard to find a college kid who isn't rocking along to Babs on the hi-fi before heading out to the malt shop.

What Babs doesn't know is that she'll be volunteering to demonstrate the realities of waterboarding on the campaign trail.

Well she has my grandmother in Boca's vote now.

As already alluded to in the comments, there is like a 99% chance that this will become a South Park episode.

How many people under 50 like Barbara Streisand? How many people under 40 know what she is famous for? How many under 30 even know she is famous?

If you were running for high office, wouldn't you just love to have the endorsement of Mrs. James Brolin? Besides, her kid is cuter than hell. I would vote for Hillary just based on that totally unrelated fact.

between babs and celine, hillary's trying to corner a very specific portion of the gay male market. and baby boomer moms....which, let's face it, is brilliant. the baby boomer moms who love celine and babs are exactly the type of ladies (like my mom) that are terrified of a mrs. clinton presidency. maybe this'll soften her up to them. personally, as a 30-year-old who knows why barbra streisand is famous, i have to admit i love her more than oprah. but then, i can't speak for my generation.

Seriously, y'all. Quit the Babra hating. I'm 32 and love her. But I'm a big 'mosexual. I'm not voting for anyone based on a celebrity endorsement, but I just wanted to stand up, stand up for Barbra.

Her early stuff is amazing, by the way. Unreal.

She may have been granted a beautifully pure singing voice or whatever, but she's a fucking monster.

The closest thing I've ever encountered to a Kevorkian-esque suicide machine is the last 30 seconds of Barbra Streisand's "Jingle Bell Medley."
Even thinking about it makes me want to die.

She's the worst. If I could see any female celebrity coated with rancid yogurt, she would be my first pick. (Ann Coulter isn't a celebrity.)

All technique, no emotion. Compare her to a real singer like Ella or Sarah Vaughan. Poof! There's nothing there.

gawd, i hate her SOOOOOOO much...the only woman who can turn a simple song, into an over-produced, over-sung monstrosity.

and she hasn't made a good movie since "What's up, Doc?"

I just wanted to add that this is my favorite comments thread.

I hate Babs singing and now, I hate her political alliances. Obama and Oprah are just perfect together. O&O!!! Hell, he should pick Oprah as VP!!

Oh, and how annoying is it that she adds the French "e" to Madam President. I'm no Francophobe, but Jesus Christ that's pretentious. Do you think she puts the accent on the second syllable? MaDAME President?

she's the only celebrity carol channing disses in her autobiography. case closed.

Who spells "madame" without the "e"???

Um, the French.

um, the French?

oops, and here I was being a smart ass...

Babs is one of the biggest cunts in the industry. Fuck her. And fuck HRC. And fuck Oprah and Obama--and everyone and everything.

As a 21 year old man, I know who Babs is, what she's famous for, and I like her.

That said, I won't vote just because of her endorsement.

Monsieur Poe's indiscriminate fucking in the above post leads me to hope that he is, at least, using the spray on condom.

I couldn't afford one. I'm using the bag of doritos.

I'm just thankful the Canadians claim Celine Dion.

I don't get it; she is of the Jewish peeps, right? How can she go against the monied interests and her natural instincts, and be a *gasp* democrat? all the jews(both of 'em) I've known are solidly fiscal conservatives, ie: ol' pops' accountants (Josh)Finklestein & (Harvey)Goldblatt, good guys who know how to accrue capital, shrewd money men, worth every penny we pay 'em. They would never support a candidate like bitchzilla Hills who only wants to give our money to poor sick kids and other commie dreck like that...I think all Jews should be good Rebublicans, like Joe Leiberman. My two cents (but if you gave it to Finklestein and Goldblatt they'd be able to turn it into a dime, like dad always says).WOOOO CAPITAL INVESTMENTS!!! WOOOO Beer bong, brahs!!!
