Don’t look for Barr at White House

KENNEBUNKPORT — President Bush said Friday that comedian Roseanne Barr’s screeching rendition of the national anthem was “disgraceful.”

“That’s the way I feel about it and I think a lot of San Diego fans said the same thing,” Bush said.

Barr was loudly booed and has been roundly criticized since she sang the national anthem in an off-key, screaming voice between games of a baseball double-header Wednesday at San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium.

Bush, asked if he meant that she won’t be invited to sing at the White House, Bush told reporters on Air Force One, “There’s no change of plans on that.”
