U.S. Edition
(CNN) - Barbara Streisand is among the Democratic Party's leading Hollywood supporters and has charged President Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 elections, but all that seemed like water under the bridge Sunday when the famed entertainer appeared at the White House.
Streisand, who was honored at the Kennedy Center Sunday evening for her legendary career, got a kiss on the cheek from the president at the White House shortly before the event kicked off. Streisand did give the president a kiss back.
The event was so surreal it was played on video for attendees of the Kennedy Center honors later in the evening.
"Art transcends politics this weekend," Streisand said of her venture to the Bush White House, according to the Associated Press.
Though Streisand, who has called for Bush's impeachment, said it would be "lovely" if she instead received the award under President-elect Barack Obama.
Next thing you know Ann Coulter will be under the covers with Al Franken !!! Go Al !!!
You people need to learn to respect to office of president, regardless of how you feel about the person in it.
Only time will really tell what affects Bush had on our nation. I never voted for him, but come on. Opinions polls tracking the whining and rants of a nation of selfish imbeciles shouldn't deter a statesman (or woman) just doing the job they were elected to do the best they know how. And there's a nation of people now free from a dictator's terror and torture who might think differently about Bush than you do.
Grow up and show some respect.
WHO CARES???? THis is newsworthy?????
It's the crying game all over again!
She's one talented lady and deserves the award. To say otherwise, you know squat about talent. As for Bush, enough said.
Gross! I hope she washed her face immediately!
Mr Bush please go get some anti-biotics. You have no idea where that woman's cheeks have been!
Being the in the same room with that mental midget would make my skin crawl, much less getting a kiss from him!
BarBRA Streisand is one of the most talented singers of this generation. She is most deserving of this honor, and as Bush is on the way out, I don't have a problem with her comments at all.
I hope President Bush wsa not sickened
i suppose our king bush is drinking again. and barbra prolly went home used a steel bristle brush washed her face out from being kissed by a war criminal.
Then Bush should take it back and she can wait for Oh Sh!* to bestow it upon her.
Don't who was more disgusted by it...Hmmmm...
Why would any person want to be within 10 yards of thet pig? With her even the famed lipstick doesn't work. Makes me want to puke.
She should have bitten him.
NOTHING SHOULD TRANSCEND THE TRUTH, NOTHING !!!!!!!
He is still human and there is no reason why she should not have kissed him back. After all we are civilized people. You can still hate what someone does or what they stand for and not hate the person. Although it is very hard in Bush's case not to hate both!
what has bush done for this country?
It was disrespectful for bush to put her in an awkward position, but it sounds like she handled it very well with the "art transcends...." comment.
It would be "lovely" if they took the honor back from her....period.
Why is any of this even in the news? Who really cares about either!!!
When she saw him approach her, Babs reportedly yelled, "Well hello gorgeous!"
Hey Lowe you're not poor because of Bush you're poor because you want to blame everyone for your porblems. Get oof your butt and stop blaming bush for your problems
get a room
Michael Corleone also kissed Fredo. Don't accept any boat rides, Babs!
