Babs Can’t Spell? Blame the Help
You may remember the recent Barbra Streisand post, chock-full of spelling errors and the subject of much ridicule. Well, Streisand’s publicist was quick to shift the blame – to the site hosts!
Yesterday, a couple of hours after Lowdown alerted the Streisand camp to Drudge’s spelling feint, her online polemic was corrected. And Streisand’s PR rep, Dick Guttman, sheepishly explained: “The errors … are regrettable and have resulted in a change in how the actress’ own contributions to the blog will be posted.” He blamed the mistakes on the company that operates Streisand’s Web site: “The errors occurred in that entity’s typing of the original dictated material. Henceforth, Ms. Streisand’s office will post her essays directly.”
Sure, sure, it wasn’t Babs at all…only problem is, Streisand’s near-illiteracy has shown itself before – and – you guessed it – she blamed an underling then, too. So hard to get quality help these days…
