From Drudge, we hear the
From Drudge, we hear the welcome news that we now have the permission of Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg to go to war with Iraq. That's crucial, because a little-known amendment to the Constitution indicates that no military action may be taken by the United States without the explicit approval of Mr. Cruise and Mr. Spielberg and the provision of imported sparkling water for their staffs.
On the other hand, intelligence maven Barbra Streisand apparently has extensive evidence that Iraq was in no way involved with the destruction of the World Trade Center. Furthermore, she holds exhaustive dossiers on the corrupting influence of several obviously evil industries on the Bush administration. She also watches The West Wing every week.
I pity Dick Gephardt, caught between the constitutionally-mandated powers of the Cruise-Spielberg dyad and Streisand, widely regarded as the most down-and-dirty information monger since J. Edgar Hoover. She's already taken a swipe at him by cagily revealing that at the beginning of his political career he changed his name from the mushy mouth-feel of "Gebhardt" to the more assertive and electable "Gephardt." He'll have to pick sides carefully: Cruise abd Spielberg might end his political career, but if he's into into pederasty, self-flagellation or some other perverted activity, Streisand could make things very ugly for him.
