What a Gyp: So what did $2,500 get you at last night’s wallet-draining Barbra Streisand concert for Barack Obama? Four songs — and not even her best, we hear, with Streisand going all conceptual during a quartet featuring, “When the Sun Comes Out,” “Make Someone Happy,” “What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?” and “Shining Hour.” Meanwhile, for $26,000 more you could have shared rubber chicken and a playful slap from the candidate himself: “[T]his is not a game. This is not a reality show, no offence to any of you,” Obama told an elite, amused gathering of 250 industry insiders. “This is not a sitcom.” Expect a fair, even-handed and appropriately unfunny SNL riff on the matter this weekend.
