• WELL HE’LL ENJOY THAT: Barack Obama’s pathetic attempts to keep upper-middle-aged ladies from drifting to the McCain-Palin camp continue: Barbra Streisand, who is despised by everyone not between 54 and 66 years old and without a vagina, will “perform for” Barry at a fundraiser later this month. HA, you cannot fool us with your fake ploys, Hussein! Until you or Joe Biden gets pregnant with like thirty Down Syndrome babies, you will always be a terrible enemy to women. [Wilshire & Washington]

Barbra “who gives a shit” Streisand endorsed Hillary Clinton today. “We truly are in a momentous time, where a woman’s potential has no limitations… [Clinton has] transcended the dictates for what is thought to be possible for our time.” Yeah, who could’ve imagined someone would sell pardons so easily this day and age! [The Caucus]

Remember the good old days for embattled Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn), when the fifty-term politician with the big heart from the little state bragged that he had his own special flavor of Walter Mondale’s mesmerizing “Norwegian Charisma,” something called “Joementum” that would help win the 2004 Democratic presidential nod and eventually become God-Emperor of Dune?

• Names & Faces: Memorial concert to be held today in honor of Joseph McLellan, longtime critic for the Washington Post. [WP]
• Liz Smith: Sharon Stone on Hillary: “I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd, but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power, and I don’t think people will accept that. It’s too threatening.” [NYP]
• Rush & Molloy: White House staffers said to enjoy “24.” [NYDN]
• Page Six: Hillary reportedly banned Barbra Streisand from the White House after the singer stayed over while she was visiting her dying father. [NYP]

What the heck is going on? Are famous people abandoning our fair city — or are you, our readers, just not sending in enough sightings to us?

After the jump, a handful of desultory Wonk’d items. We were so hard up for sightings that most of our items involve D.C. types spotted hundreds of miles away from the District.

We know that you can do better for next week. Please email us your sightings, with “Wonk’d” or “Sighting” in the subject line. Much thanks!
