"FAN" THROWS DRINK AT BABS

SUNRISE, Florida (AP) -- The funny girl wasn't laughing.

Barbra Streisand had a drink lobbed at her Monday after a mid-concert skit poking fun at President Bush.

Streisand's publicist, Dick Guttman, said a paper cup filled with some sort of liquid was thrown on stage but apparently did not hit Streisand during her second performance in this Fort Lauderdale suburb.

Streisand's manager, Martin Erlichman, said she shrugged off the incident and responded to the angry audience member by saying: "It's a free country and they're entitled to express their opinion."

It's at least the third time the skit, which includes a George W. Bush impersonator, has angered Streisand's audience. A heckler targeted her at the Philadelphia opening of her 20-city comeback tour, Guttman said, and Streisand made headlines with her response to a jeerer at Madison Square Garden last month.

Erlichman said Streisand, 64, believed the skit was in good fun and noted impersonator Steve Bridges, who wrote it, is a Republican.

COMEDIAN STEVE BRIDGES AS GEORGE W. BUSH



Can't believe that some of her fans are still sore over the George Bush impersonator she uses in her act! Surprise, surpise! Hasn't she always been an outspoken liberal? But this guy is hilarious! He was on Larry King last night, and though I normally cosider Larry to be a bit of a dullard, he mage an good straight man for Bridges' great routine. He imperonated Bush, Clinton and Schwarzenneger. Here'a n excerpt segment from his segment as Bush.

"KING: You know Arnold. Did he ever take -- the truth -- did he ever take steroids?

BRIDGES: I don't think so. I don't think so, not enough to play Major League Baseball. Who wants to watch Major League Baseball without steroids? That's not baseball. That's cricket. It's a sissy sport.

KING: Mr. President, are you frankly concerned about your recent poll numbers?

BRIDGES: Look, my aides tell me I'm not very popular in the polls. I told them I'm not very popular with Americans either. Listen, I want to -- if I want to be loved with the polls, I would have run for president in Poland, ridiculous.

KING: Is it true that your brother Jeb might run in 2008?

BRIDGES: I hope so. He could lose a couple pounds. He ought to start running right now. I'm in all sorts of hot water today."
