...began rather dryly with two somewhat awkward jocks shyly shaking their derrières for a meager $15. However, the humorous and flamboyant antics of the night’s emcee, Harrison R. Greenbaum ’08, offered some needed comic relief. He even referenced a certain SNL skit to familiarize the audience with the finer points of charity. “Don’t put your dick in the box,” Greenbaum joked, “I don’t think we can donate that to cancer.” Newly elected Undergraduate Council...

...Jerome brothers are screaming at each other about how to write a radio skit. Eugene, the younger, keeps tossing out what he thinks are funny situations. Stanley insists on order and method.

This was not lost on Streisand’s New York audience. Everyone knows that Dubya is not that bright, and any skit over 30 seconds long merely belabors the point. As Streisand’s lackluster satire went forward, order collapsed faster than Air America’s ratings. One audience member began to heckle Streisand and her Bush lookalike, setting off a major showdown with the Brooklyn-born diva.
