Madonna Compares McCain to Hitler, Obama to Gandhi Photo of Noel Sheppard. By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive) August 24, 2008 - 11:00 ET
In case you missed it with the Olympics going on, Russia invading Georgia, and the campaign for president in full swing, pop star Madonna started her much-awaited tour in Wales Saturday.
Amidst the requisite autoerotic writhing and gyrating, Madonna managed to bash John McCain -- actually equating him to Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe! -- while comparing Barack Obama to Mahatma Gandhi.
I kid you not.
As reported by the Associated Press Saturday (emphasis added, photo courtesy Getty Images, h/t RightPundits via Marc Morano):
Even at 50, the queen of pop just can't stop courting controversy.
As Madonna kicked off her international "Sticky and Sweet" tour Saturday night, she took a none-too subtle swipe at the presumptive Republican nominee for U.S. president.
Amid a four-act show at Cardiff's packed Millennium Stadium, a video interlude carried images of destruction, global warming, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, Zimbabwe's authoritarian President Robert Mugabe and U.S. Senator John McCain. Another sequence, shown later, pictured slain Beatle John Lennon, followed by climate activist Al Gore, Mahatma Gandhi and finally McCain's Democratic rival Barack Obama.
Isn't that special? Another AP version of this story pointed out what this one didn't:
It carried the usual Madonna fixtures: sequins, fishnets, and bondage-style outfits drawn from the 3,500 items of clothing reportedly whipped together by 36 designers specifically for the "Sticky and Sweet" tour. Promoters promised a "rock-driven danstastic journey" supported by a traveling crew of 250 including a chiropractor, personal trainer and a masseuse. The show itself includes eight costume changes, 16 dancers, and $1.85 million worth of Swarovski crystals. [...]
However, others wondered at the singer's carbon footprint, questioning the amount of carbon dioxide pumped out by ferrying Madonna's wardrobe, makeup, and freezers (for ice to soothe the dancers' aching feet) across the world.
Hmmm. You mean Madonna is just another hippy-crite that doesn't practice the global warming "solutions" she preaches?
Well, we already knew THAT!

In this sick and twisted world she is someone better known and emulated more than any politician. Mindless throngs listen to what she says. But I think their attention span, such as it is, is quite brief.
sw
I'm not sure of the name of the German Sheppard, but yes, she did have sex with a dog and even put out photographs of her in that act.
I agree that she looks horrible. She’d probably look better if she worked out less and ate a little more.
It sure sounds like she is the typical barack supporter.
Apparently there is such a thing as ‘too much’ time at the gym.
“What’s a Madonna?”
She’s sort of like Beezelbub, except with boobs.
There is the answer: she thinks she is something....with an IQ around room temperature, and a body similar to a starving chicken, she realy has a hard sell....
I believe McCain was the tortured one at the hands of the North Vietnamese. He was not the one doing the torturing as was Adolf Hitler.
Does she have any straight fans anymore?
If I’m not mistaken, she was pretty much at the height of her popularity around 1984. She is hardly relevant anymore.
I suppose if any moron out there is going to be influenced in how to vote by what she says, we were not going to get those people on our side to begin with.
yeah and I compare her to a bug after that last photo online. She looks terrible. Time to grow up madonna...or whatever your name is.
Yep, she’s reached that part of the show-biz career lifecycle where the only fans left are the gay ones.
This is coming from someone who makes a living wiggling her crotch on stage. I dont think I could care less about what she thinks.
Wow....steroid use in the music industry must be investigated ASAP....
The famous one was the Mother of God...the infamous one is a 50-year-old baggy, white trash slut with about the same IQ of battery-powered vibrator!
