Madonna’s Tour Is Already Sticking In The McCain Campaign’s Craw

AP080823025020.jpgInternet-unsavvy Presidential candidate John McCain is steamed at Madonna, whose Sticky + Sweet Tour kicked off over the weekend in the UK. Apparently an image of the Straight Talk Express’ driver is flashed during a video montage of baddies that also includes Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe and baddie-of-all-baddies Adolf Hilter! (Barack Obama, meanwhile, is placed alongside John Lennon, Mahatma Gandhi, and Al Gore.)

Anyway, before you think this is just another boring “Madonna gets ‘political’” news item, there’s also Britney Spears-related news coming out of the tour! Which is, just, so much better, you guys.

Here’s the video segment Spears shot a few months back for inclusion on the tour, set to one of Madonna’s best mid-career tracks, “Human Nature”:

    Really, though, what are the odds that a picture of Jesus was tossed around to be included in that Obama-Lennon-Ghandi-Gore montage? 1:2?

    @Audif Jackson Winters III: As long as it’s not a “sexy Jesus” Steve Coogan tie-in… I am so damn sick of hearing about that fucking movie already!
