Was Streisand Cursing a Fan - Or Calling For Dem Takeover?

Have a look at this screen capture from the opening of this morning's 'Today': Barbra Streisand says "SEND IN THE #$&!! CLOWNS"

Since 'Today' only offered a tease, it was hard to know just what Babs had been up to. Was she cursing out a fan or, perhaps, calling for a takeover of power by her team of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Conyers, Henry Waxman et. al?

Turns out the correct answer was 'A' - cursing a fan. According to this New York Post article, VULGAR BABS RIPS BUSH - AND FAN - AT MSG:

Liberal diva Barbra Streisand gave fans an earful of Bush-bashing last night at Madison Square Garden - then told a man in the audience to "shut the f- - - up" after he heckled her for poking fun at the president.

But judging by the image alone, how was a NewsBusters supposed to know?

Was that a Freeper I wonder? Regardless, someone paid big bucks to be close enough to Babs to heckle her and her response is STFU. How classy.....

These people are just so full of themselves.

Isn't this the woman who told Californians to hang their laundry out to dry to save energy, but drives a huge SUV or something like that?

The rules only apply to the "little people."

She is a miserable human being to treat a fan like that, especially after he paid hundreds of dollars to see her.

Why can't they just shut up in sing?

Remember back in the old days when you paid good hard earned money to go to concert without getting a political lecture?

"shut the f- - - up"

What does that phrase mean anyway? Taken literally, it would be a vulgar demand for the other person to practice abstainence.

The fan that was quoted in the article that was "shocked" that Streisand used the "F" word must be living in la-la land.

Celebrities think they're living in "Animal Farm" and they are the "pigs"...LOL.

Streisan's house, where she's NOT conserving energy by hanging out her laundry.

Bill Maher Tees Up Sen. John Kerry's Virulent Anti-Republican Campaign Speech

Kerry: No you didn’t, I know you didn’t think so. You’re too smart to have thought you would. But, anyway, what you do is you just put a boot in their ass, period.
