Barbra Streisand: Honor student

That's what it says in her web site biography: "An honor student at Erasmus High School in Brooklyn..."

Here are the, make that here is the Erasmus Hall Alumni site, with loads of e-mail addresses. It'd be interesting to see if her former classmates agree with that statement.

It's been reported on Drudge's site, Brainster, and by Rocco DiPippo on the Autonomist Blog (Rocco takes on the role of an angry rhetoric teacher in his post), that Barbra Streisand a week ago, posted a rambling statement on her site highly critical of President Bush. She mocks him as a 'C' student. Or C student (no quotes), as Babs phrased it. (Grammar is somewhat subjective, and one could argue "C" is correct, but I like the look of 'C' better.)

The magnificent, multi-talented Streisand's Bush-bashing missive contains not just multiple spelling errors and repeated words, but also awkwardly constructed sentences, even one with conflicting tenses, as DiPippo points out.

Her messy statement was on her site for almost a week. Until this afternoon, Streisand, or more likely one of her henpecked staffers, finally put her hate-rant through a spell and grammar check. There still are some errors. It's Congress, not congress, for instance, Babs, when referring to the United States Congress.

Spelling and grammar checks are good computer tools, but they are not substitutes for having an honor student-caliber education.
