If you attended the Streisand concert in NYC last night, you got the chance to hear the legendary singer go all 2 Live Crew on her fans, telling one audience member to "Shut the fuck up."

Things started getting ugly when Bags Babs brought a George W. Bush impersonator on stage:

There was Streisand, enduring a smattering of loud jeers as she and "George Bush" - a celebrity impersonator - muddled through a skit that portrayed the president as a bumbling idiot.

Though most of the crowd offered polite applause during the slightly humorous routine, it had gone on a bit too long, especially for those who just wanted to hear Streisand sing like she had been doing for the past hour.

Eventually, too much became too much:

"Come on, be polite!" the well-known liberal implored during the sketch as she and "Bush" exchanged zingers. But one heckler wouldn't let up. And finally, Streisand let him have it.

"Shut the (expletive) up!" Streisand bellowed, drawing wild applause. "Shut up if you can't take a joke!"

With that one F-word, the jeers ended. And the message was delivered - no one gets away with trying to upstage Barbra Streisand, especially not in her hometown.

Once the outburst (which Streisand later apologized for) was over, Streisand noted that "the artist's role is to disturb," and delivered a message of tolerance before launching into a serenely beautiful rendition of "Somewhere."

This is the same classy broad who spoke before a Democratic Party gathering in 2002, saying in part:

"So, in the words William Shakespeare, 'Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.'"

Only one problem… that little rant isn't from Shakespeare at all. It IS, however, part of an anti-Dubya e-mail that had been forwarded all over the internet in the months previous to Barbra's address before the Democratic party.

That Streisand. Boy, she's so classy. Right up there with 50 Cent.
