Streisand delivers foul-mouthed response to heckler

Barbara Streisand was forced to shout down a heckler at her celebrity-packed New York City gig on Monday night, when the man took exception to her onstage digs at US president George W Bush.

The 64-year-old is a staunch Democrat and is still appalled that Bush was elected to the most powerful position in the world, despite doubts over the crucial result in Florida in 2000.
