Stark Raving Babs

(E!) Barbara Streisand, the legendary singer--and just-as-legendary Democratic supporter--drew some jeers from a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd Monday night after wedging a Bush-bashing political skit in between numbers at her concert. The erstwhile Funny Girl star became targeted by a heckler more than halfway through the show--for which concertgoers had to pay upwards of $250--after bringing Steve Bridges, a President George W. Bush impersonator, up on stage. Some fans began to tire of the twosome's routine, with one man going so far as to shout, "What is this, a fundraiser?"

Apparently, Babs can dish it out, but she can't take it. "Why don't you shut the f--- up?" she shouted back to the delight of her more sycophantic fans. "If you can't take a joke, why don't you leave and get your money back." [the lesson here is to stick the music, people don't pay to hear your politics - more at the full story link]
