NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- A rare appearance by U.S. singer Barbara Streisand at a small club was attended by Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as other celebrities, witnesses say.
Streisand played the Village Vanguard club in New York Saturday, mainly for the benefit of fan club lottery winners, but VIPs such as the former U.S. president, his wife the U.S. secretary of state, their daughter Chelsea Clintonand actors Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker and James Brolin also were at the show, the New York Daily News reported.
The newspaper said Streisand, 67, made the unusual club gig to promote her new CD, "Love Is The Answer," which is due out Tuesday.
She reportedly performed a 13-song, 80-minute set during which she was at ease in the close surroundings. As she took the stage, Streisand commented, "This is hysterical. Are we a box of sardines here or what?" before launching into a set of low-key, loungey standards more typical of the music she performed as a youngster while backed by a four-piece jazz combo.
Bill and Hill are better people than I. After Barbara became a major kool-aide guzzler, she became one of my least favorite entertainers. The Clintons are obviously not as small, petty, and vengeful as I am. lol

My thoughts exactly. If I were HRC I wouldn't have gone either. Sometimes it makes me wonder.... how HRC really feels about Obama. Maybe she really doesn't hold any ill feelings towards him and his staff. May we do but she does not. Things like this make me wonder.

I know what you mean bword. I think Hill must take some of this less personally than we (at least, than, I) do. Having seen up close and personal for many years how nasty politics can be, maybe she sees it more as "business as usual".
I know it may not be the right attitude (and not practical, since pols can't afford to alienate people), but I would so love to see some pay-back. I would love to see her dump on some of the folks who dumped on her.
