Madonna's Moral Crusade

Pop queen Madonna has hit out at American flagship TV show Good Morning America for screening footage of a mother breastfeeding her eight year-old son. Speaking during an interview with New York radio DJ Rick Dees, the Material Girl denounced the July show, which dealt with an investigation by Illinois child-welfare officials into whether 34-year-old Lynn Stuckey, who also allowed the boy to share her bed, had created a harmful home environment. Madonna told Dees, "That's incest. People have no morals, I swear to God. The things that people do for ratings! It's unforgivable. The world is collapsing. Why is there a tape of it? It's terrible. That child will never recover. How dare Good Morning America play that tape?" But Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg denies the singer is guilty of hypocrisy, given that she released the controversial and highly explicit photo book Sex, Rosenberg says, "With her book, people had the option to buy it or not. TV is more of a public forum."

Just go back to what, or rather who, you do best, slut.

Perhaps Madonna is growing up. But then again, I doubt it.

What's the old saying? It's great that that the prostitutes want to join the Church, but we don't necessarily want them to lead the choir...
To: Paul Atreides
This reminds me of how Mick Jagger once described Madonna, "A drop of talent in an ocean of ambition." Has she forgotten how she got to where she is? I guess she feels motherhood gives her the power of righteous indignation.

Nice!

"Do as I say, not as I do." I'd be gracious if Madonna has had a conversion of heart, but as the old saying goes, trust but verify.

Maybe now that she's a mother, she's had a chance to reflect on the exploitative effects her past behavior might have on her own precious daughter. It might be her weak way of atonement for her contribution to the debasement of the world her daughter is growing up in. Then again, maybe not.

but, isn't she correct that breast feeding an eight year old is not the best for the child
her history might not be the best but I think she nailed this one.

I doubt that she ever stopped to think of the trash she pushed into the faces of pre-teens. She and Babs are cut from the same cloth.

What's the old saying? It's great that that the prostitutes want to join the Church, but we don't necessarily want them to lead the choir... I thought Jesus loves everyone equally?
To: Paul Atreides
I owe a debt of gratitude to Madonna.
About 15 years ago or sound I found my tiny daughter watching her on mtv. That prompted me to cancel cable tv. Our lives were enriched with books from that moment on.
Thank you, Madonna.

Are you sure this wasn't from "The Onion"?
To: vin-one
Yeah, it is sick. However, anyone who thinks that Madonna is becoming more conservative, needs to get real.
To: Motherbear
Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
To: justanotherfreeper
I also heard this on the radio, this morning. I guess now, we'll have Bubba lecturing kids on monogamy.
To: BrooklynGOP
Some more equally than others. I'm still waiting for the Church to "out" it's pedophiles.
To: Paul Atreides
Oh please. She is just angry she didn't think of using the concept for a video first. If she thought she could film it and get free PR-she'd do it.
Then after the much desired backlash she would claim indignant outrage and argue how it's the most natural thing in the world and anyone who finds fault with it is sick.

Yes, isn't is wonderful to espouse permissiveness- - -until you have your own kids. Even Ozzie Osbourne doesn't want his kids to take drugs (although I doubt that any attention is paid to him.)

Breastfeeding an 8 year old IS disgusting.....Madonna's "sexfeeding" of the American public was just as pathetic and disgusting.
