To: MSNBC
From: Barbra Streisand
I must express my dismay that you cancelled the Paul Donahue Show. How could you people do that? What were you thinking? Since the media is predominantly conservative we need all the mainstream voices in the media that we can find. Paul was one of those people. And, I just adore his wife, Margo.
Jim and I used to watch Paul every night, except when he would have on Nazis like that loudmouth talkshow host from Atlanta, Neil Bartz. And what is going on with that turncoat Dennis Mueller? How can he be from Hollywood and support that selected, not elected, president Jeb W. Bush?
And now I hear that you are giving that terrible lunatic, Michael Brute his own talk show. What is going on? I thought MSNBC was going to go up against that rabid right wing Fox Network. Fox has people on it like Bob O'Reilly who is a raving, rightwing monster? No spin zone my tush! I am outraged!
I'm so glad that we are finally going to have a liberal radio network. I think that Al Franklin will be an excellent talk show host. I think this is an idea whose time has come.
Let me make some suggestions for MSNBC. These are the people you should hire:
Paul Donahue - You did not give him enough time to develop a good following.
Bill Clinton - No one knows more about domestic affairs than Bill.
Robert Nader - No one knows more about consumer affairs than Robert.
Jimmy Carter - No one knows more about foreign policy than Jimmy Carter and he has a Noble Peace Prize to prove it.
Eleanor Smile and Gloria Steinburg - The feminist point of view.
Al what's-his-name, the guy who really won the election - No one knows more than Al about the environment, except maybe me since I give a lot of money to environmental organizations.
Mike Farrell - He's not doing anything right now and probably needs a job.
These are just a few of my suggestions that would help MSNBC rise in the ratings. I've got lots more so give me a call and I'll fax them over to you.
Gotta go. Jim and I are gonna watch that cute Connie Chang.
Luv ya,
Babs
