Barbra Streisand shouted down a heckler who took exception to a politics skit performed during one of her tour shows.

The Democrat's shows include a satire about George Bush where lines include: "I'm concerned about the national debt, so I'm selling Canada," and "If I cared about the polls I would have run for president of Poland."

One audience member at her Madison Square Garden gig on Monday did not approve of this, and shouted: "What is this? A fundraiser?" Streisand responded: "Why don't you shut up! If you can't take a joke, why don't you leave and get your money back."

The man then left.
