A friend who used to travel to Europe and the far east in his business (before 9/11), said what Madonna did here is typical of Follywooders who are no longer able to be top drawer entertainment in America.

Since the 1960s, when their careers are headed into the cesspool in America, Old and talentless Follywooders have flocked to Paris or London and said horrible things about America.

This endears them with the talk show hosts and tv stations over there. They have them on to spout their anti American garbage. These makes a bond between them and the America haters overseas.

As a result they connect with rabid anti American masses in Europe and the UK. This gives them a second market for their old stuff, newer stuff that bombed in the States, and unseen stuff that can't find financial backing in the States.

She is an over 40 white trash has been in America. She is trying to compete against twenty year olds with better bodies and better voices. So she has to go to Europe to pander her not wanted in America wares.

She still hates American but this is a career route taken by many Follywooders when their career in America is over.

This also endears her with the 25% of lefties in America who hate America, Americans and our President. They will ignore her lack of talent because she is against our president.

Like the French, Madonna seldom uses soap.

Is any old enough to remember, and YOUNG enough to still have their memory (you know, old-timers is creeping up on me), back in 1989, Madonna performed for Saddam in the celebration to rebuild Babylon?

Please tell you all remember this. Does anyone know who else performed there?

'They Always Blame America First'
Opinion Journal:Best of the Web Today ^ | Thursday, May 8, 2003 2:58 p.m. EDT | BY JAMES TARANTO

Another liberal having a sudden bout of good sense is Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen, who's revisited Jeane Kirkpatrick's 1984 Republican Convention speech, which he "hated" at the time, and concluded that "it has aged better than I have." This of course was the speech in which the then-U.N. ambassador lambasted the "San Francisco Democrats" with the refrain: "But then, they always blame America first." As Cohen notes, little has changed:

That same tendency to blame America for the moral shortcomings of others unfortunately permeates the left and the Democratic Party. I wish it were otherwise, but I got the first whiff of it after Sept. 11 when some people reacted to the terrorist attacks here by blaming U.S. policy--in the Middle East specifically but around the world in general.

Had we not supported Israel, had we not backed the corrupt Saudi monarchy, had we not been buddies with Egypt, had we not been somehow complicit in Third World poverty, had we not developed blue jeans and T-shirts and rock music and premarital sex, the World Trade Center might still be standing and the Pentagon untouched.

"The impulse to blame America first lingers," Cohen observes, "an atavistic reflex that jerks the knees of too many on the left and has cost the Democratic Party plenty over the years." Indeed. And from the Associated Press, here's a neat refutation of the notion that America was to blame for Sept. 11:

A wedding video shot in a Hamburg mosque has been broadcast for the first time and shows grainy scenes of Sept. 11 al-Qaida suicide pilots celebrating with other alleged plotters, possibly including suspects still not formally identified.

The video of the October 1999 wedding of Said Bahaji being celebrated in a large room at the al Quds mosque--suspected as a recruiting center for al-Qaida operatives--has been in the hands of investigators since shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

The video depicts, among other things, "a fiery speech by Ramzi Binalshibh, the suspected logistician of the Sept. 11 attacks who is in U.S. custody after his September arrest in Pakistan." At the time of the wedding, Bill Clinton was president, Israel was negotiating peace with the Palestinians, and American-led forces had just liberated the Muslims of Kosovo.

"But then, they always blame America first," as Kirkpatrick said in 1984. "The American people know better."

According to this link, the Iraqis invited Madonna to Babylon, but she didn't show.

Dixie Chicks actually have talent and I was "deeply saddened" by their comments and their stupidity.

Madona is irrelevent and has been for some time. It's obvious she's just looking for any publicity she can get. I can't muster up the emotions for a good freep. She's a no-talent has been.

"Madonna has thanked France for its opposition to the Iraqi war, during a private performance for 200 guests of a radio station in Paris.

Dressed in a low-cut black top and black glittery trousers, she performed the title track to her album, American Life."

Is this the ONLY way she "thanked" them? Considering what a slut she is, I wouldn't be surprised if a more imaginative method was employed by the traitoress.

"Here in France I feel at home."

You'd feel even more at home in North Korea.

Just when you think these "Liberals" couldn't possibly sink any lower...they do.

These people just refuse to admit they were wrong.

Even after seeing the Iraqi's people joy at being liberated, after hearing all the horror stories of Saddam's sick and torturous regime...even while more mass graves are being uncovered each day.....

They don't even pretend to have a genuine desire for what's right or gratitude for seeing good things happen...they just prefer to hang onto their hatred of Bush and the US.
These people are evil.
