Barbra Streisand’s at it again, blasting Condoleeza Rice as someone who has “failed upward.” Babs says that Condi has “been judged by **experts as ‘one of the weakest National Security Advisors in recent history’.” (**Chances are these “experts” are James Brolin and her hairdresser…assuming they’re not one in the same) I’m noticing a distinct...
