Streisand gets pelted by non-fan of her politics
I gotta wonder why any staunch Republican go to a Barbra Streisand concert a week before an election. I mean, her music is terrific but her politics are VERY LIBERAL and she has never been one not to express her displeasure with the Bush adminsitration.
Gay icon Streisand was pelted by a beverage in hurled by a concert-goer during her Monday night concert in Sunrise, FL. The incident at the BankAtlantic Center came as Streisand was trading political barbs with a George W. Bush imitator, according to the Miami Herald. After her anti-GOP riff ended, another man in the crowd shouted at the singer and was escorted out of the center.
Streisand appeared to shrug both incidents off, saying some people would do better to buy her records than come to her shows.

News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

Why does it have to be a "staunch Republican?" Why can't it simply be a drunk jerk?
Plus, as a conservative, I love her music and would hope that if I paid a ton of money to see her in concert, that possibly I could be entertained instead of mocked.
Either way, the guy was a jerk and irresponsible.
