Balbra Steisanb - "The Star"

Balbra Steisanb - "The Star" seems to need an errata page. This is the "news" page from her website.

Odd, isn't it? When the President makes a slipup, it's because he's an idiot (according to Streisand et al), but when Ms. Streisand's atrocious spelling is called to task, it's because:

...when the Republicans don't like what you say, they attack you on the lowest and least pertinent level. At least, that was the way a Republican source leaked a private memo which had been sent by Barbra Streisand to House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt. The manner in which this memo was leaked obliterated the imperative message of the note by drawing attention only to the fact that a few words had been misspelled.

The story behind the misspelled words is explained here only because those spellings were used as a ruse to avoid addressing the real substance of the memo.

Well, we wouldn't want to use things like spelling, or verbal tics, or facility at impromptu speaking, to "avoid addressing real substance", now, would we?
