LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --The Material Girl has stepped onto the political stage and endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark.
"I think he has a good handle on foreign policy, I think he's good with people, and I think he has a heart and a consciousness," pop singer Madonna said. "He's interested in spirituality -- I mean, those things mean a lot to me."
The singer and children's book author met Clark a few weeks ago for over an hour. In an interview recorded last week with CNN's Denise Quan, Madonna said they discussed his becoming president.
The singer told Quan she had decided to support the former general and she felt Clark was a natural-born leader.
"As it stands right now, he's got my support," Madonna said.
The two were introduced by "Bowling for Columbine" filmmaker Michael Moore, who was an early supporter of Clark.
Madonna said she saw a few television interviews with Clark and wanted to meet with him herself.
"I think to be the general for as long as he's been, this is a man who knows how to deal with pressure and make decisions under pressure," Madonna said.
Clark, a retired Army general, was NATO's supreme commander during the 1999 air war against Yugoslavia.
He testified Monday and Tuesday in the war crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, now held in The Hague. (Full story)
"We're delighted with the endorsement of a superstar for our four-star," said Matt Bennett, a Clark campaign spokesman.

AAAAA!!!! My eyes!!!!...
Having seen that pic you posted, I have to say that by the time Madonna is 55, she's going to look more like Marilyn Manson than Material Girl.

Isnt there some limit on how many times Clark can sell his soul? "Excellent question. But the evidence suggests that Wesley Clark suffers from multiple personality disorder, so I suppose it's possible for him to sell himself to multiple interests, one soul at a time."
LOLOL!
To: My2Cents
Make Clark pay for this one. An interviewer with balls should ask:
1) "Does this mean Madonna could be on your ticket as VP?" And after the laughter dies out, ask it again "no seriously, you sought out her endorsement, to what point?"
2)"Is Madonna a singer who can lapdance, or a lapdancer who can sing?" :)

"he's interested in spirituality"
Translation: He has vague notions about religion which make for good cocktail-party conversation, but he's not one of those horrid right-wing Christian wackos who's against abortion and homosexuality. .

"We can tell spirituality is important to you, the way you have that crucifix dangling in your ample and over-exposed cleavage."
The cleavage is ample because there's not very much on either side of it. Madonna ain't no Dolly Parton.

I knew this pathetic "Marilyn Monroe" wannabe would end up going after a politician sooner or later.
