McCain Camp: Madonna Is ‘Unacceptable’

From CBC News:

McCain camp calls Madonna concert segment ‘outrageous, unacceptable’

Monday, August 25, 2008

Campaign officials for U.S. Senator and Republican presidential candidate John McCain have shot back at Madonna for a segment of her just-launched new concert tour.

Madonna kicked off her Sticky and Sweet world tour at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Saturday. During her performance of Get Stupid, an image of McCain is shown alongside those of Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe, as well as photos of global warming and destruction.

Later in the concert, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s face is shown in a sequence that also includes images of Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon and Al Gore.

“The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time,” said Tucker Bounds, a McCain campaign spokesman.

“It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits.” …

What does anyone expect from one of General Wesley Clarke’s top advisors?

(And from the selfsame artiste who made a video wherein she threw a hand grenade in President Bush’s lap.)

After all, she is encouraging people to “Get Stupid.”

But it was probably a mistake for the McCain people to respond to this broken down trollop at all.
