Barbara Striesand is a beautiful singer, wondeful actress, and all around fabulous entertainer. Can't take that away from her.
Unfortunately she become so marginalized with her rediculously nonsensicle, fully predictable, political drivel that so few take her seriously. I wonder if anyone ever really did.
It's as if you could pull every sound bite from the left's 'talking points' and easily craft without to much effort, exactly what ole babs will opine.
While I disagree completely that CBS was ~censored~ by the right or had it's free speech rights violated by an miniscule group of the extreme republican fringe (see what I mean by fully predictable
). I also do not think this is an assault on artistic liberty.
I do think that CBS showed absolutely zero balls for caving like a battalion of the Iraqi Republican Guard. Pathetic. For fuck's sake...the pre-airing publicity alone was enough to give that time slot to CBS for sure. Probably even allow them to double the price of ad space. Hmmm...come to think of it and with that in mind, maybe they caved because they realized what a 'hit' piece the whole production really is? Interesting.
