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.

I always base how I vote on what Madonna reccomends. I am sure most thinking people do also.

Something about Modonna's kiss and Al & Tipper's kiss at the Dem Convention makes me think that Clark is going for Al Gore's base.

"He's interested in spirituality -- I mean, those things mean a lot to me." Yeah, right Madonna. We can tell spirituality is important to you, the way you have that crucifix dangling in your ample and over-exposed cleavage.

Madonna? a Children's book author?!? Oh, yeah...I forgot. Didn't she write "Hey Kids, Let's Get Naked"?
and "24 Dirty words for Kids to Learn"
Madonna, interested in Spirituality? She's almost as funny as Madeline Allbright.

What I would do without Madonnas voting tips? Has she endorsed satan yet?
To: JustPlainJoe

"Looks like the material girl wants to get into ol' Wes' shorts." If she succeeds in getting into his shorts, I hope she leaves a deposit there.

"We're delighted with the endorsement of a superstar for our four-star," GAG!...Wesley gives a bad name to four-star generals. I wish they'd stop bringing up this odd fact of his rank.
