Streisand at White House dinner with lots of diamonds

Hollywood diva and political wannabe Barbara Streisand was one of the surprise shows at the White House state dinner for Chinese President Hu Jintao.

Streisand may have strayed a little from the administration’s latest messaging that a lot of folks are still suffering in this time of 9% unemployment and economic pain.  The White House pool observed she entered the dinner last night wearing “lots of diamond necklaces.”

White House Dossier reports on Streisand’s own explanation of why she was invited: “I worked in a Chinese restaurant.”
