Madonna (http://www.usmagazine.com/madonna) has sparked another controversy by including Republican presidential hopeful John McCain in a video montage shown on her new tour that includes Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe.

"The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time," McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement reported by Fox News.

The montage is shown as Madonna (http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/madonna/37) performs the song "Get Stupid" on her "Sticky & Sweet" tour. Images of McCain, Hitler and Mugabe appear among shots depicting destruction and global warming until the song ends, when images of John Lennon, Al Gore (http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/al-gore/734), Mahatma Gandhi and Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama are shown.

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

I think the McCain add is coming back to hunt him again. I wonder which kitchen table he will leave it on?

Madonna?

Senator McCain has gone too far. :-\

Like who cares?

Madonna is excellent at getting publicity each time she tours and has a new album. McCain was stupid enough to fall into her trap.

Ah yes, Madonna, the infallible political analyst. --FLO--

She's not?

Remember Laugh In, Remember Dick Nixon going on and saying sock it to me. McCain needs to take it from Nixon, who had no personality and chill out.

Prediction, before this is over he will self destruct. He will explode as he has been known to do, me I hope it happens at the first debate.

This is yet another example of the Republican party tying to lay blame for what some one else said at Barak Obama's feet. It's the Reverend Wright phenomena all over again.

Madona is responsible for what is in Madona's video. As far as I know she doesn't work for Barack Obama. He may have a lot of campain dollars to spend but think about it.... Madona would break the bank in no time at all.

River, you're assuming that McCain will remember the first debate and show up, remember who Obama is, what he is supposed to argue about, and whether or not he'll even remain AWAKE through it all.

Optimistic, are we?

From the post title I was expecting photos... not-safe-for-work photos.
