MADONNA VIDEO ENDS WITH IMAGE OF PRESIDENT BUSH WITH GRENADE IN HIS LAP

A final shock scene in the video of AOLTIMEWARNER recording artist Madonna's upcoming release -- is that of the singer throwing a grenade in the lap of President Bush!

"It is not me being anti-Bush, it's me being ironic and tongue in cheek," Madonna explains to NBC's ACCESS HOLLYWOOD this weekend.

"My kind of wish for peace and my desire to sort of turn a weapon of destruction, which is a grenade, into something that is completely innocuous."

Madonna uses a Bush look-alike in the final scene of AMERICAN LIFE. Tthe "president" picks up the lit grenade that Madonna throws at him -- and lights his cigar with it!

The image is "my wish to find an alternative to violence to war and destruction," the singer says.

Last month the DRUDGE REPORT first revealed how Madonna was hoping to cause maximum controversy with the new video.

AMERICAN LIFE will make its debut late next week.

That's the kind of thing that usually ends up with a little visit from the Secret Service.

[Mixer]

Is she trying to boost her already dead career? Bad publicity is still publicity I guess.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh.....let's all HOPE SO!

What a PIG she is.

[Anamensis]

"... it's me being ironic and tongue in cheek," Madonna explains

Mmm... I think it's you being foot in mouth, dear girl. And it's going to be about the Secret Service being boot-in-ass with you.

[MadelineZapeezda]

Exactly my thoughts.

[lizbet]

I hope that the consumers will let her know that this is not wanted by not buying the thing! Madonna...what do people see in her?

[FourPeas]

That is just plain sick.

[1 spark]

yep, a last desperate gasp to her finish.

[Starstruck]

Better than her throwing herself in the lap of Bush.

[jporcus]

This is great news. Good bye Madonna, you stupid idiot.

[WorkingClassFilth]

I get it!

If I made a video where I dumped a clip of 9mm's into Madonna's head from an MP-5 sub-machine gun...and I said that the rounds represented facts...then I would be saying that I was only trying to educate this stupid twit about geopolitical realities.

Hmmmm, wonder if I could get this idea off the ground?

[jigsaw]

That is just plain sick.

Especially when our troops are currently dodging real grenades.

[=Intervention=]

Another fading pop star tries to hook new audiences with worn-out liberal lies. Yawn. Madonna is SO yesterday.

[Frank_2001]

I see a half-witted slut!

[Happygal]

Madonna?

Jesus wept

[Constitution Day]

The image is "my wish to find an alternative to violence to war and destruction," the singer says.

As my grandpa used to say, "Wish in one hand, s__t in the other, and see which fills up first!"

[IslandTrash]

"Swept Away" is bound to be on video sometime soon, and I think that hurts people more than any large nuclear warhead .

She must be a firm believer in the belief that there is no such thing as bad publicity. So where do we send our regards? Email addresses to her publicist, record company, MTV?
