John McCain sure won't be seeing any of Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour, which began with a bang this weekend.
Always controversial, Madonna irritated the presidential hopeful when she and her team played a video tacitly comparing McCain to horrible dictators, like Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and the incomparable Adolf Hitler.
Amid a four-act show, a video interlude carried images of destruction, global warming, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, Zimbabwe's authoritarian President Robert Mugabe – and the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Another sequence, shown later, pictured slain Beatle John Lennon, climate activist Al Gore, Mahatma Gandhi and finally Barack Obama.
Furious over Madonna's hyperbolic act, the McCain camp used its reply to cast a shadow over Obama.
Said a spokesman: "The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time. It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."
Here's a rough snippet of the action…

I'm not a Madonna fan, but the video was scintillating. Yeah, it's time. Let's face it: The Repugnicunts believe in militarism, repression, and spending (but not taxing) our country into the ground.
She's just an old, washed-up, gap-toothed, crab-bearing skank anyway. It's good for the world to see what type of person backs Obama, and the goofy tactics that they use.
ok it she keeps this up I might have to start liking Madonna again…
Gotta love her!
:)
I don't see the problem: mccain = global disaster, armageddon, Mugabe & Hitler–what's the issue? Truth is truth. If he'd only eaten his exwife instead of just dumping her crippled ass, we coulda tossed in Idi Amin!
"She's just an old, washed-up, gap-toothed, crab-bearing skank anyway."
I agree, but this seems a rather harsh characterization of McCain. Let's try to be a bit more charitable toward him.
Madonna rocks!!! She looks HOT, sounds amazing and is still speaking the truth and waking people the F- up!!! "Old, washed up"?! What the heck is McSame, then?! He is e-ons older than M…plus, he IS out-of-touch, sold his sould to the devil in right-wing, neo-con GOP and needs to be stopped from becoming President. He will continue to be a puppet of the wingnut, right-wing of the Grand Oil Party!!! GOOO MADONNA!!! Speak the truth and shame the devil!!!
McCain is just trying to drum up some badly needed PR. Madonnna did the same thing to Bush on her last tour.
I'd love to know why his people are even paying attention to a Madonna tour, instead of foreign policy issues, and economic recovery??
FIFTY year old shameless whores opinion on anything counts for nothing. What next from this skank ? Tips on motherhood ? To bad obama is slipping,slipping, slipping in all polls, maybe Hitler on his ticket could help him, Byden sure has not…so much for change…that old insider has been around for ever, change indeed.
Did she say it with her British accent?
"It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."
LoL what? McCain smears Obama with unfair comparisons all the time, Madonna doesn't even represent Obama and she is going too far? Ha! Toughen up McCain.
oh who cares…McCain doesn't even remember who Hitler was.
