STREISAND ICE ATTACK 'NOT POLITICALLY MOTIVATED'

LATEST: BARBRA STREISAND insists a fan who pelted her with ice while she was performing in south Florida on Monday night (30OCT06) was not politically motivated. The music legend was on stage at the BankAtlantic Center in Fort Lauderdale and brought out a GEORGE W BUSH impersonator during one part of her show. The phony US president jokingly asked her if they could sing a song together, to which Streisand replied, "How about ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?", referring to her 1970s disco duet with DONNA SUMMER. At that point a disgruntled fan threw ice at the 64-year-old star, according to website TMZ.com. But Streisand's representative DICK GUTTMAN insists the perpetrator was an Australian who "had one or more too many beers". He tells PageSix.com, "After a recent stay on a friend's boat near Miami, Ms Streisand had given each of the crew members tickets (these happened to be front row) for the sold-out concert. "When one seaman became ill, an Australian friend was invited, a rowdy friend as it turned out... She feels it should be made clear that the person who threw the drink had no political motive or message." A similar scenario unfolded during Streisand's show earlier this month (OCT06) at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where she told a fan to "f**k off".
