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!

Yeesh, that old hag is still performing like she’s 20?
Madonna, another slobbering idiot from the entertainment world, has proven, time and time again, that most of the few brain cells she has, are located in places other than her skull....
geez, it’s the same thing day after day, isn’t it
Well, I will then compare Madonna’s brain to Helium.
Madonna ?.....Yawn who cares !!
It's what you scrape off your shoes after walking the dog.
sw
Did she have sex with Hitler and Gandhi too?
Helium has mass and volume. Her head contains a vacuum hence the vacuous thought coming from her mouth.
Madonna: "Anybody I don't like is the new Hitler"
LOL! Good one!
Shut up and..... whatever.
Alex Rodgriguez must be so proud. Along with the other 100’s or 1000’s that have also been there.
More like a vacuum.
Not just these days. She's looked horrible from the beginning.
She’s slipping, she compared McCain to Hitler and Mugabe. And as we all know a Black socialist can do no wrong.
Liberal celebrity endoresments are the kiss of death to any politician.
