Babs Doesn't Get It...And Never Will

Barbra Streisand is living proof that you don't have to have brains to be rich and famous. Her latest "statement" on her website is vomitworthy in its recycling of old rhetoric about why we should never have gone into Iraq and why we should get out. Check out this bit:

The result of the December election has plunged Iraq into political turmoil. Preliminary results showed the advancement of the United Iraqi Coalition, supported by the Shiite religious figure Ayatullah Ali al-Seistani. Days after the election, Sunni Arab leaders had angrily rejected early election results, saying that the vote has been fixed to favor the Shiite majority party. Sunni Arab politicians have threatened to boycott the political process altogether, which would be a serious set back for the Bush Administration.

The hypocrisy here is simply stunning. Does Ms. Streisand not remember how the Democrats (she being one of their biggest supporters) wailed and howled after the 2000 presidential election, claiming President Bush had stolen it? Five years later they are still kvetching. I should think Streisand would be proud of those dissenting Iraqis, seeing as they are taking a page out of the Dems' playbook.

Babs is missing the big point here: The fact that there was an election and that people who are unhappy with its results are not afraid to complain is the biggest news since sliced bread. Would Babbsy rather go back to the days when Saddam Hussein was "elected" president with 100% of the vote, and if anyone said "boo" he'd be thrown in a plastic shredder feet first?

As Laura Ingraham so aptly puts it, "Shut up and sing!"
