Kinda snotty comment, Barbra

Streisand got honored at the Kennedy Center yesterday. Here's a section of the story.
-------------------------------
WASHINGTON -- Barbra Streisand got an awkward kiss on the cheek from the president, and yes, she gave him a smooch back.
Streisand, a vocal critic of President George W. Bush, was a guest Sunday at the White House just before one of Washington's few A-list events: the Kennedy Center Honors.
"Art transcends politics this weekend," the longtime Democrat said beforehand. Still, she said it would have been "lovely" if she could have received the award while President-elect Barack Obama was in office.
-------------------------------
That second part seemed a bit snotty and unwarranted to me. You may be thinking it, Babs, but if you really believed that "Art transcends politics" statement, you would have kept the second statement to yourself.
