Re: muffynbear – I don't bitch about him, i can't stand poor losers! for example first run with him and gore " don't blame me i voted for the other guy" stickers or
"he's not my president" stickers. What ever happens in 09 i will respect my country's leader and not bash him and his party. I'm sure i can't say the same for you

Re: Joe Black – You lost me when you put CNN and patriotic in the same sentence. Right there you showed me that you have no idea what you're talking about. Good try though.
Of course she doesn't know what the government does…she only has a high school education!
You know what? I'm pretty left. But I still hate it when people make political comments based on "what's trendy". Madonna..she's not a political scientist or "the enlightened one"…She should stick to WHAT SHE KNOWS…music…leave the heavier thinking for those not obsessed with their millions. Sorry but your little empire makes you somewhat less credible in a world struggling for the underdog, the poor, the blue collar. You are truly an elitist idiot.
SO TRUE MADONNA!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!
can't wait for HARD CANDY april 29th this tuesday!!!!
YAYAYAYAYAY!!!
Oh really Be-atch? If that's the case, don't come back to the good ole U.S.A. where you seem to have forgotten you were made filthy, dirty rich. How did you get so rich? Because of the people who make this country great, the best country in the world to live the best quality of life in the world. How quickly you forget. Madonna, you are pathetic.
Re: Kym –
Kym, obviously you were one of the dipshits I was speaking of considering you took offense to my post. So what if I don't respect the current president? I don't have to, because I didn't vote for him. It's called freedom of speech.I'm glad you're supporting whoever gets into office. I just can't sit around and support Bush, or any republican for that matter. Yes, I do think that Americans who voted for him are sorry that they did in the first place. I hope Bush goes to hell, I really do.
Re: Lauren – Lauren ROCKS and is so right! Kudos kiddo!!
Re: Giovani – Giovanni is a RETARD.. Donated the proceeds from her concert.. Could she fucking dig into her own wallet without having her FANS foot her charities for her? Rosie O'Donnell at least opened her wallet post 9/11 WITHOUT having to have a SHOW to make others pay.. Giovanni= RETARD!
Re: sara –
Btw, "most" of Americans do not just travel to Canada. Stop generalizing. FYI, there are Americans who DO travel to other continents, including myself. I've been to Europe, and personally, there are things about Europe that I like better than America. So for you to say that all Americans think that this is the greatest country in the world, you're wrong. I like Europe, the culture and the people are pretty laid back and aren't so fucking PC all the goddamn time.
Hey NYC,
Are you kidding me? Get educated. You think the people in government have a clue?…America… is the laughing stock of the world with people like you popping off. Quit reading and believing everything you hear in the media! Branch out, widen your perspective, go to your nearest college and listen to what the future has to say.

Madonna is a real fake/phoney and poser. She doesn't even live in America anymore-isn't she a British citizen. Nonetheless, what has she done to help
our troops=a free (if she can spell it!) tour or visits to them, beyond her
self interest and photo moments in Africa…
Get real Made or get outtta town!
Re: jess –
AMEN to that-you are so right-she's such a hypocrite-what HAS SHE done
to help the USA beyond bleeding it for her $$, touring, CDs, etc.
Revolt, blow off her music and garbage attitude!
Re: muffynbear – I NEVER asked you to support our president i just said respect the office he holds. i honest;y ask you if you would feel the same way about a democratic president. If the answer is yes then good for you! i NEVER took offence to you because i didn't read your post i had a problem with sylvia. Aside from that whatever! I cant' even begin to think of who you will blame when life sucks and there's a democratic president. Save my address because i would LOVE to hear from you when life sucks and its all a democrats fault
Madonna is a worthless singer who needs to keep her big mouth shut. Stick to singing really badly and dancing around like an old g-ma.
You Go Muffynbear!
While reading all these comments, I can only conclude most Americans here don't know how to read (she's not anti-American, she just has something against the government), and most Americans are really stupid, because if you still, after 8 years Bush, say you have a good government, you must really be out of your mind.
Re: muffynbear – Europe Rules!
Re: Go Obama!!! – That is a very smart, educated thing to say
It really moved me. You are a fucking rocket scientist.
Hey, I've been for the people (of the constitution) since I've been in Congress. Why don't you look up my resume and read all about my dedication to the people of the U S of A. luaP noR Backwards makes more sense.
Shut DUHdonna. You are a hypocritic moron. I wont even try to explain the many things are country is and does. I wish so badly you would crawl back under that neanderthal rock you came out from under.
And btw..You are one dikey looking bitch,,,fugly as hell.and while we are at it..do something bout your daughter's unibrow and mustache.
hey! you 'member when you took that picture of you bitin' big daddy kane's nuts?…member? …yeah…that was cool…oh, wait…the government? yeah..okay…
Yeah, Madonna for president X)
Maybe I should stop now…
She sounds like a greedy cow that does not mind sucking the American public dry for her own needs, but will be fast to shit on her own government.
While they may not be all flowers & sweet cakes. they have helped other, along with the American public !
She sure is RIGHT with what she says!
Lauren,
you do not see the ENTIRE picture: Yes. America DOES give ("…What does our government do? For starters, it gives millions and millions of dollars to third world countries like your beloved Malawi to feed and clothe their people…") - BUT: This US money is NOT spent in MALAWI (so as to help Malawi workers and craftsmen and firms establish and maintain businesss to in future hel themselves!) but goes BACK TO AMERICA, i.e. AMERICAN companies (mostly stock companies in which Bush and his "friends" and "family" have stocks / own shares! - So, AMERICA "profits" from the UIS money, NOT Malawi.
The US have been and always will be HYPOCRITES!
It s the same thing with the latest wars America/Bush started: Afghanistan, Iraq (maybe Iran next?) for just ONE MAIN REASON: To first make a country s infra structure COLLAPSE / be bombed/destroyed, and then AFTERWARDS making MONEY (and gettin gOIL) by placing the re-constructional orders ONLY with AMERICAN companies and their allies! Bush quite often and frankly even SAID so! (In Iraq it s open American policy to employ ONLY American and British etc corporations to rebuil,d infrastructure, etc….Disgusting!
America does not give ANYTHING for FREE monetarywise to any POOR countries!!! Never has during the last 50 yeasrs and never WILL in ths future wars it starts!
shes Super GORGEOUS. Gotta love her!
She doesn't even live here anymore so it's not really her government. Shut your hole!
There has always been a superpower, and you don't become it by playing fair, nothing new are we the Romans, the Germans, the brits or US!!! Same crap, MONEY and POWER rule the world, let's not be naive OR surprised,
GOOD JOB MADONNA!
I don't like you but I love what you said!
you forgot to mention that they are WAR CRIMINALS.
what about the FOUR FU*KING BILLION, not million, but BILLION, dollars our government gives to Isreal, a country that was CREATED by the US and Britain in the 60s? Does anyone even know this? Seriously, kids, how many of you know that our government, in collusion with England, REALLY CREATED Isreal? It DID NOT EXIST prior to 1967.
thank you Madonna
why are so many people in the media such pussies that they're too scared to state the obvious?
Go live in Africa with davids dad you stoopid ho!
Then shut the fuck up and go back to Britain, you wannabe artistocrat.
I'd just like you to remember, Miss THang, You're from BAY CITY MICHIGAN!!
You're not British.
#312– "She should stick to WHAT SHE KNOWS…music…"
LMAO! More like lip-synching and self promotion….i.e., whoring oneself out to the masses. People who buy her shit are just as dumb as she hopes they are.
wow from this statement you can tell she was a high school drop out! Go back to school and take a government class, that goes for all of you who agree with her too. I know the current adminastration may not be doing such a great job but they do alot more than that.
Well, Madonna, here's what I propose. Why don't you take the piles and piles of money you've accumulated through your 'hard work' (i.e. dick-sucking and sleeping around) and help America instead of dissing it. Have you ever done anything charitable, other than adopt David? HAve you ever thought of anyone besides YOURSELF??? Doubtful. So give the country YOUR money and I bet we could wipe out half our national debt.
(And let me say, I am in NO WAY defending these Republicans who've fucked up our country so badly. I'm a Democrat. GO Hillary!)
I could seriously go on and on about what an ignorant asshole she sounds like but I will skip the political stuff and jump to that fact that this bitch is an ugly old hag with too much plastic surgery. The reason she has left her gap-tooth looking stupid like that is so she can fit in with her European comrades.
She is an ugly old whorey sleezebag who needs to blow her brains out with a magnum revolver.
Madge, I thought u were british? You live there 99% of the time and when u grace us with your witty remarks they usually are given in a fake british accent. So shut your pie hole about what OUR gov't does. You don't live here anymore.
Debt, what would you know about that rich bitch. Get gone already you tired, wrinkled sack of bone. You and your statements a SOOOOO 1980.
You go girl!!! At least she's not sacrificing her status to please you bush fans…its funny when the dixie chicks spoke out you burned them at the stake…what a bunch of friggin hypocrytes!
Probably the truest thing ever uttered form her lips. Hollywood bubbalicious-wake the fuck up ignorami.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN LIVE HERE!!!! DOES SHE PAY TAXES HERE????
U must be a republican! THEY SUCK! Bush does nothing but blow up countries, and make his own pockets fat!
"HEY BUSH, TIMES ARE HARD…FORGET THE REBATE CHECKS..HOW ABOUT A GAS CARD!"
This arrogant bitch is rich as fuck, talks about poverty, yet guys three apartments in one fucking building! Why doesn't she just let the less fortunate life in one of her apartments? Selfish cunt.
Can you imagine this idiot and paltrow hanging out in england, two rich, spoiled, dopes, talking about how horrible america is and how advanced and insightful they are. makes me want to puke.
this old pig has not been relevant since the 80's.
Maybe Madonna should actually FIND OUT what our wonderful country does for other countries…before she blabs off at the mouth on nothing she obviously knows about. How about the tens of millions of dollars we spend on this country and the 100s of millions we spend on other third world countries? Not to mention the food we send…the resources we send..making us the most generous country in the world when it comes to charity? It INFURIATES me when these celebrities whine and cry about their own country all the while they sit in the lap of luxary with a spoon in their mouth…taking it for granted.
You don't know what our government does, Madonna? How disappointing. I think we can credit our government by doing a little more than blowing up other countries and getting into debt. Come on!
Our government? You moved bitch!
I'm sure a First Grader can help this idiot with a Civics lesson.
lets see…
we provide food & money to countless other countries, we keep thousands of americans fed through our wonderful welfare system, and we are the standard that other countries try to become.
She seriously doesn't have the right to bitch. She lives in Europe for crap sake. And why the hell would Madonna be complaining about being in debt???!!!! These stars need to pull their heads out of their collective asses and stop pointing fingers. The actors/actresses and singers are probably the ones driving all the fuel prices up with all the vehicles they drive and the fuel they use to run their private jets. Who's hurting the economy now???
how sad for her that she's such a hater!
youre right madonna… because money is such a huge issue for you im sure, you have a lot of room to bitch about it! also, we should just sit back and let other countries blow us up instead! i really wish celebs kept their mouths shut about politics… sure, endorse someone but no one gives a fuck about your opinion on the war in iraq or gas prices, etc. it sucks because now when i hear your music all i will think of is how ignorant you are!
She makes a good point!!
THIS WOMAN HAS GUTS!! SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH! the rest of you can't handle it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so sick of these celebrities opening their mouths. I cant believe she thinks that the only thng our goverment does is blow things up but if she will recall they blew us up first. And does she not know of all the money, food , medicine and supplies we send to other countries. Or does she know of all the good that comes from our firemen, coast guard, teachers, cops, etc.. . I hope she knows that its because of our government that she can say those things.
Re: I think that she has a point number 2 – Make his Own POCKET FAT? are you kidding me? You do realize that the Clintons are five times wealthier than the Bushes, right? You realize your friend Algore has made countless millions from extolling the fake science of global warming, right? UNfreakingbelievable.
Please…and your contribution is tongueing Britney on stage, no wait, it must be your support of the Botox industry, no wait yet again, lets be chic and adopt babies from other countries but leave children in this country who need homes behind. Luckily what our government does do is support your right to sound like an idiot…and you do it oh so well.
It allows you to your freedom to make idiotic comments like that, you privileged hypocrite.
Hey Madonna.. .go to fucking college before you say shit like that and LEARN about it… Man America is full of dumbassess…. Why the fuck are people like this fucker and ashlee simpson invited to the white house when there are a bunch of well educated people that should be going there!
Well, all those people who are attacking her comments - wake the fuck up. She is right, and that is what most logical Americans have been saying for years. The Bush administration is the worst in history and have seriously fucked up our economy.
THE YOUNG AMERICANS SUCH AS MYSELF SHOULD BE SCARED FOR OUR FUTURE. AND PISSED THAT THE BUSH ADMIN, HAS DESTROYED ANY HOPE FOR US.
File under: chickenshit
Bullshit
ELEPHANTSHIT
More of Madonna's glib shit, you choose the grade.
What America is great at is producing 'BRANDS' like Madonna. That's it kiddies, she's a lypsynching poseur. Like the walrus with the makeover who oversees this site. Mario Lavendiera (sp)?
Re: Lauren –
I do have have an idea, But it's remarkable that even when you claim to be impervious to media bombarding, you're still an american idiot nonetheless…
Would have been less pathetic If you are actually patriotic. You belong to a lower level then, where you're still convinced the U.S. does 'nice' things to others because they're self-less. You must think W. Bush is a role model…
And it was a nice try.
This bitch nees to shut the fuck up and stay the hell out of this county if she dosen't like it here. Name one other county on the planet that would have allowed a shallow, talentless piece of shit like she is earn obscene amounts of money for her so called "art". She is the ugliest human being on the planet who only cares about one thing…herself. The narcissism oozes out of every pore in her body. Boycott this cunt and that asswipe Johnny Depp's every product and hopefully they both will go broke and die. Ship this fuckhead off to communist Cuba & she how she likes it. She would have to sell herself for toliet paper, which is what this asshole deserves.
And by the way Madonna, nobody wants to see your old, gross 50 year old snatch spead eagled on a fucking album cover. Spare us that sickning sight please.
Re: He Haw –
If that's your argument and we made her successful, that's how dumb we are as americans. Shame on us. The fact is… she represents us abroad. She will always be an american even if she calls England her home. She is everything we are, she was raised here on our "principles", so shut the fuck up.
Uneducated people that's what americans are. Our government doesn't care if our public schools spit out idiotic people as long as they can control and condition people to get their way. Distracting people, giving them bad education, encouraging superficiality and obesity are all ways to keep the population under control. What has happened to our schools since the 70's is just about the most unforgivable things we've allowed the government to do. We are to blame for the state of our country and the enormous amount of idiotic americans.
please! like she's going into debt anytime soon. bitch can't talk.
she's awesoume.
THAT'S FUNNY, BEC I DON'T KNOW WHAT MADONNA DOES, EXCEPT WHORE HER ENTIRE BEING AND CRAPPY MUSIC AROUND TO GAY GUYS AND PATHETIC GIRLS WHO IDOLIZE HER AND ACT PRETENTIOUS WITH IDIOTIC COMMENTS LIKE THIS! M, JUST STICK TO MAKING SHITTY ALBUMS WITH JUSTIN TIMBERCRAP, AND SPREADING YOUR 50 YO COOCH IN DESIGNER OUTFITS, AND KEEP YOUR PIEHOLE SHUT ABOUT POLITICS… PLEASE! YOU ARE NO ANGELINA, THAT IS FOR DAMN SURE!
What a bitch.
She's so negative about the US, but she's an American like it or not.
Doesn't live here, adopted an accent, bitches about the US … screw her, what an ungrateful douche.
Go, Madonna! Ain't it the truth! (Lauren, #17, needs to up her meds, poor thing.)
Try moving to Malawi and living the same luxurious, pampered lifestyle you have in the U.S., you ignorant cunt. If you don't like it, work to change and make things better for all citizens, not just your ego-centered, gap-toothed self. And try working on your marriage, bitch. Hubby's all kinds of neglected.
Isn't the whole reason Madonna fakes a British accent because she lives in England? Why she does feel the need to refer to it as "our" government? If you don't like it, stay out.
She should check with Bob Geldof about that. He said that George W. Bush has done more for her child's homeland of Africa than any President in American History, or any other country for that matter. Oh, and that through our glorious system of free markets we are essentially supporting the entire world. I sure she doesn't have time to read though considering too busy sucking on the talent of much younger, fresher artist out there.
very good insightful points of view
TEAM Lauren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MADONNA IS SO DAMN SEXY, 49 PUSHING 50 & PUTTING ALL THESE YOUNGER WOMEN TO SHAME WITH THAT HOT BODY!!!!
Re: Lauren – I can tell by your swear words that you are uneducated and are probably overweight.
For someone who thinks she's so brilliant, what a really stupid comment to make. I guess she cut her history classes during highschool…oh and did this bitch ever go to college? Her comments make us think…definitely no!
Yeah - and made her one of the richest women in the world!
What a hypocrite - oh, and before all you all start hanging on every word of some celebrity - get schooled, go to the source and learn your history. Whomever said genocide has no clue what WWII was about, how many people had died, how many more would have died if the bomb wasn't dropped… blah, blah, blah
Stop letting celebrities shape your opinion. Grow a brain!
Re: sara –
wait - one more thing, this is too funny…
only %18 of Americans have passports (what's our official population in the US - I think that percentage is greater than the sum of some Euro trash nations)
Bringing me to point number two - unless I'm rich and can stay in a luxury hotel, tell me why I want to throw away my money 'abroad?' I'd rather spend it on a new boat, than on some shit hole country.
oh, p.s. - only american born in the family, hailing from southern europe — so I speak from experience.
p.p.s. - Why can't Europeans afford to get their teeth fixed?
well said madge, well said.
What an ignorant thing to say. She should learn about the government before she opens her mouth about it. Also, is she even an American anymore?
Where's her wedding ring??
TRUE TRUE TRUE
SO TRUE
TO: #312 - Kimberly
"The best country in the world to live"???
Why is that: you work in a company and you have to kiss your boss ass if you don't want to be laid off. You can not really say anything. You go on internet, talk on the phone do some bank transactions - everything is WATCHED.
Where is the freedom? ALL is only the propaganda - on the paper but not in real life.
WE are in debt - more companies moving abroad, we import everything from China. What we produce here anymore?
And we course we blow people up!
what an idiot! just last year we gave them $31 million in aid they don't have to pay back!!! I am so sick of people believing ANYTHIING celebrities say….just because they are famous does NOT mean they are smart nor educated
Seriously, she needs to get over herself on this one.
How about showing some support for all those men and women out there fighting for YOU?
Re: TracyT – Re: Kym – bitch can't spell
I really hope she's just being factious. Like please… be kidding.
MADONNA really speaks her mind.
Re: Lynne – FUCK DA TROOPS !!!!!!!!
Re: what – YOU IS THE BRAINWASHED SLOB AND YOUR DUMB ASS MUST BE ON THE BANDWAGON. YOUR DUMB ASS IS SO FUCKING STUPID BECAUSE MAJORITY EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY IS MADE FROM CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES. MY TWO BMWS ARE DAMN SURE NOT FROM THE U.S. AND FUCK THE DEMOCRATES AND REPUBLICANS BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE DAMN WHO WINS THE STUPID DAMN ELECTIONS ( I WOULD PREFER REPUBLICAN CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MY MONEY ON SAME DAMN POOR BASTARD).
She is so fucking stupid.
