Barbra Streisand has lost it.
Just look at the claims:
- She was on the set "for a total of 4 hours of one day." Fair enough, but what about her husband? They don't talk about work? Well maybe they do. Talk about *her* work.
- She "never even read the script." Well, no, of course not. She had one of her flunkies read it for her and give her a book report. Jesus, Barbra, we know you hate Republicans, we know you want Democrats to look good, we know you can only achieve that by sliming Republicans until they look worse than the lowlife Arkansas scum you've inflicted on us. We know you knew the contents of the script, else you wouldn't have let your trained eunuch loose on it. For God's sake, stop lying to us.
- Her husband "was not responsible for what is depicted in it." Right, he was just "following orders."
- On Reagan, Republicans "cannot stand that some of the more unpleasant truths about his character." As I understand it, the movie gives short shrift to everything he actually did, and plays up things everyone says he never did.
- Reagan "was slow in responding to AIDS as a public health crisis. Does anyone remember 1981? '82? '83? HIV wasn't even named. It was known that there was a virus that appeared to affect gay men and Haitians. That was pretty much it. Besides, reacting slowly to a crisis is not quite the same as wishing fire and brimstone on people. Unless, of course, it serves the purpose of sliming one of America's greatest presidents.
- "Reagan is glorified by conservatives because what other Republican leader of recent history are they going to point towards?" Well, not quite. He ended the Cold War. He got America out of its post-Jimmy funk. He got the hostages home. He started an economic boom we're still enjoying. He's glorified because he's worth glorifying.
She finishes with some codswallop about Clinton, her and Moonves being equally comfortable with their view of his back passage.
I hope that on November 16th and 18th that CBS will end its time as a channel for the Democrat Big Lie. I'm not holding my breath.
