November 4, 2002 -- Babs sees crash conspiracy

SHE'S quoted bogus Shakespearean passages, misspelled the name of Sen. Richard Gephardt, and issued a position paper identifying Saddam Hussein as the "president of Iran." Now liberal activist Barbra Streisand is privately saying that Sen. Paul Wellstone's plane crash was "no accident."

"I was shocked but, knowing a bit about her, not surprised by her statement," a witness told The Post's Braden Keil. "She said there's more to this than meets the eye."

Wellstone, his wife and daughter, and five others died on Oct. 25 in a small plane crash as they were making campaign stops in his home state of Minnesota. If his replacement, Walter Mondale, doesn't win tomorrow's election, the Democratic Party could lose conrol of the Senate.

Streisand expressed her paranoid conspiracy theory to an audience of interior designers bidding on the chance to decorate a planned addition to her Malibu estate.

The singer, who recently sold her triplex on Central Park West for half of what she originally asked three years ago, gave up looking for another apartment in New York and is sending her furniture out west, where she is building a separate building to house the antique items.

"She's asked five top West Coast designers to bid on a project to incorporate her New York furniture into a farmhouse-like addition on her Malibu estate," said the source.

In a letter to the five candidates bidding for the job, she tells the prospects she won't have time to discuss anything until after the election.

"She then says they better be voting Democratic and goes into a long political missive about reproductive choice, the Supreme Court, the environment and the power of the right wing," adds the source.

Babs' Web site - which hawks everything from soup mugs to golf balls - consists largely of her political statements, with a big section defending her screw-ups.

Last year, her site urged fans to be more energy-efficient even while she criss-crossed the country on fossil fuel-sucking private jets, roamed the roads in gas-guzzling limos and SUVs, and vacationed on big power boats.

Streisand also urged her fellow Americans to set air conditioners at 78 degrees. One source told Keil that Babs kept the 16 rooms in her unoccupied Central Park West triplex as cold as a meat locker.

And don't forget the time Streisand urged everyone to conserve energy by hanging laundry outside on lines, rather than use electric clothes dryers. But when asked if Streisand herself was using a backyard clothesline, her spokesman said: "She never meant that it necessarily applied to her."

Idiotic statements do tend to fall out of the head of idiots, don't they?

What if she's right?

What if the rest of us in this crazy crazy world are wrong and she is right?

THEN you'll all come begging her forgiveness...

The mere fact that she breathes the same oxygen I do infuriates me to no end....

If Babs was right, I'd [i]finally[/i] have some respect for the Republican Party.  For years they've let mealy-mouthed DemoncRATS gerrymander districts, play the race card and make outrageous accusations with no accountability.  If I thought for one moment that the Republicans had the guile to flame Wellstone's aircraft, I'd cut them a check ON THE SPOT!

Ya know it's not rocket science that you don't take a light aircraft, even a twin engine, into the kind of icing conditions that Wellstone's plane likely encountered.  Private charters are bad news in that kind of weather (or even night time).  There are reasons why it is so difficult to become an airline pilot.  The conspiracy must either be that republican weather control device or they have their own suicide pilots readily available (if so, why not HRC's plane?).

Yeah. Right. As I understand it, the Republican contender had a shot at the seat. Not absolute, but a shot. Kill the guy and absolutely freaking guarantee that a Demonrat gets it because of the sympathy vote. Republicans would rather have him alive. Now I would rather see Babs go down (in a plane crash that is).

I agree. Dems had Wellstone, "Take one for the team." It is no longer about a representative of the  people, but about who controls the majority....

Sad state of affairs, my friends.

I think a group of rouge AR-15's got together and shot the plane down.  those evil black rifles will just do anything.  Uh oh.  I hear mine calling.


  No!  No!   you can't make me!  






 Yes master.  I will shoot you.  I will do whatever you want......
