I think the best description of many people in the entertainment industry is “well meaning retards.” They all want to genuinely help people so much, but they just happen to be some of the dumbest people to ever grace God’s green earth. There is hardly a better example than Barbra Streisand. Were she some regular person, she’d just be an idiot on the street who no one ever listened to enough to gain a full appreciation of how profoundly stupid she is. Instead, as part of some cruel joke, she is famous and we all get to hear her amusing idiocy. The Drudge Report has obtained a fax she sent to “Gebhardt” (yes, it’s misspelled, but give her credit for getting the silent ‘d’ right), and she rails against the war on Iraq and the evil Republicans in a manner that is not only moronic, but also cliched. So, who gave her the idea she had anything original or intelligent to say? They must be very mean people and should be hurt. Yes, it’s funny to laugh at Streisand, but do those who encourage her to speak out ever stop to think of her feelings? She is a human being, and, if they had any concern for her, the would lock her away in a home and train her to keep quiet through a series of painful shocks.
