This is one of those times......
On September 16th, Barbra Streisand threw a fundraiser for Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama. Her combination $28,500.00/plate dinner and $2500.00/ticket concert netted the Obama campaign an estimated $9 million. You can bet the farm tens of thousands were spent by the attendees just on clothes, shoes and jewelry. Obama made money, so did Gucci, Prada and Versace. Since the guest list included the likes of Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio and the rest of the Hollywood left, you can also bet many a film deal was made as well. My problem: a few days earlier, Hurricane "IKE" slammed into the Gulf coast and decimated Galveston Island as well as may coastal towns in Texas. As of this writing, the death toll stands at 50. Thousands are homeless and in desparate need of food, clothes and shelter and the relief services are hurting from the strain. Yo, Babs, Barack. Why not take that $9 million and give it to the Red Cross and other agencies so they can do some real good for a change? Otherwise you will have proven once and for all how shallow and uncaring Hollywood truly is and how hypocritical Democrats are about helping people.
"Enough Said!"
