Hall of Shame
Barbra Streisand headlined a celebrity-packed fundraiser in Los Angeles Sunday night which raised $6 million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The DCCC, chaired by Congresswoman Nita Lowey, raises money for House candidates. A September 24 DCCC press release listed “artists who are supporting the event,” most likely by sending a check, but which I did not see mentioned in any news story about the event: “Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, Ben Affleck, Maya Angelou, Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Michael Douglas, James Gandolfini, Wesley Snipes, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Goldie Hawn, Sally Field, Whoopi Goldberg, Christopher Reeve, Anjelica Huston, John Travolta, Kevin Spacey, and Annette Bening.” That press release is online at: http://www.dccc.org/press/newsreleases//2002-09-24.915.phtml http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2002/cyb20021001.asp#1
LOS ANGELES (Talon News) -- During a fundraising event for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry last Thursday dubbed "An Evening With John Kerry and Friends," outspoken liberal singer Barbra Streisand took the opportunity to bash President George W.

was held on June 24, 2004 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles,
California with a host of Hollywood celebrities and entertainers on
hand, including Ben Affleck, Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Ted
Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Benicio del Toro, Robert DeNiro, Danny DeVito,
