Oh, Babs

Drudge cracked me up with this story:

Barbra Streisand has launched a new spelling error-ridden dispatch on the Internet -- a dispatch that mocks President Bush for being a "C student!"
In her February 28th, 2006 essay, Streisand flubs 11 words, a personal record.
(Specllchecking this post, incidentally, was a drag.)

Cut her a break, Drudge. English is her second language. Liberalese is her first, and in her world, as long as you've mastered that first language, other things--like spelling--really don't matter.

Incidentally, most of the misspellings were probably typos, but at least five appear to be classic cases of simply not knowing how to spell.
