E-mail not a good Bette

Bette Midler’s having E-mail trouble.

The White House is being inundated with forwarded copies of a letter, signed by the singer, opposing President Bush’s proposed gay marriage ban.

“On the steps of San Francisco City Hall, rose petals and Champagne, suits and veils, horns honking and elation in the streets; a celebration of love the likes of which this society has never seen,” the letter enthuses about gay unions.

“It’s a beautifully written, heartfelt and impassioned letter,” Midler told us. There’s only one problem. “I am not its author.”
