Babs blows up!

Gay icon and well-known liberal Barbra Streisand lost her cool Monday night during her concert at Madison Square Garden, according to the New York Post. Streisand, a friend of Bill Clinton but no freind of the current administration, engaged in some President Bush-bashing. This led to a man in the audience shouting "What is this, a fund-raiser?"

The perfectionist Streisand is famous for her carefully choeographed shows (even her chatting between songs with the audience is scripted). But she went waaaay off script with this reply: "Why don't you shut the f- - - up. If you can't take a joke, why don't you leave and get your money back."

The man got up and left then Streisand apologized to the audience.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost it," she said before continuing the show.

"I was surprised," concertgoer Nancy Heller told The Post. "She yelled at the guy. She actually said the f-word."

My take? Well, sometimes, ya gotta just say what's on yer mind.
