STREISAND DECIDES
STOP PRESS. Hillary Clinton has won the endorsement of Barbra Streisand. Repeat: Hillary Clinton has won the crucial Streisand endorsement:
’‘Hillary is a powerful voice for change as we find our country at an important crossroads. Under her leadership, our country will regain its respect within the global community. She will prioritize issues of global climate change, universal health care and rebuilding a strong economy. After eight long years, the public will once again have faith in their government,’’ said Streisand, a longtime supporter of Democratic candidates.
We now cross to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Jack Cafferty for further analysis:
CAFFERTY: Give me a hand with something. What exactly does the Streisand endorsement represent?
BLITZER: It means that Barbara Streisand, great singer, is supporting Hillary Clinton.
CAFFERTY: Reclusive, neurotic, over-the-hill vocalist endorses Hillary. I mean, is the ground supposed to shake now, and lightning bolts fly out of the sky. Who cares!?
BLITZER: She’s got a lot of fans out there, Jack.
CAFFERTY: Oh, come on!
