Madonna has done what she failed to do with her lame-arsed American Life video retraction, and aligned herself politically. In a letter on her website, she’s come out in support of Wesley Clark, and criticised the Bush administration: "Our greatest risk is not terrorism and it's not Iraq or the "Axis of Evil." Our greatest risk is a lack of leadership, a lack of honesty and a complete lack of consciousness. Unfortunately our current government cannot see the big picture. They think too small. They suffer from the "what's in it for me?" syndrome. The simple truth is that the current administration has squandered incredible opportunities to bring the world together, to promote peace in regions that have only known war, to encourage health in places that are ravaged with disease, to make us more secure by living up to our principles at home and abroad. The simple truth is that the policies of our current administration do not reflect what is great about America. Calling Clark an example of the “American Dream”, and an American hero, she says she’ll be actively campaigning for him up to and during the next election. Thoughts? Actually, Elanor, you'll know about this... where does Clark stand among the Democrat hopefuls? More to the point, does anyone care about a Madonna endorsement these days... is Madge becoming the next Barbra Streisand e.g. Democrat Princess sitting atop waning career.
