Madonna has accused American citizens of being afraid of electing a female as president of the United States. She believes Americans are frightened by the concept. She explains: “In Europe and Asia and elsewhere, women have ruled over millions; it’s not an abstract or frightening or out-of-the-box concept. But in America, men are still afraid of women. And women, I don’t think, trust women. I find that amazing.”
Well thank god we have Madonna to enlighten us on these things. Look, having a woman president is a very cute idea, kinda like having a monkey play the harmonica. I’m actually all for a woman President. Hell, I’d even vote for Madonna as President. More specifially, as President of beer-fetching. Or maybe Vice-President of pregnancy. Or Secretary of silence. Now wait, before you twist your Xena costume in a fit of rage, know that I’m just kidding – she’s no longer qualified to be VP of pregnancy.
She looks so intimidating in the picture. I was just thinking about the whole woman president thing last night. Madonna would make one scary ass president! I’m still wondering how the whole Lourdes asking Madonna if she’s gay thing got out…the maid must be leaking it to the tabloids.
I would totally vote for Man-donna in 2012 — by that time her full transformation into male homosexual, complete with skinny muscles, Adam’s apple, pecs and “manjaw”, will be complete.
she needs to shut the fuck up and stop pretending that shes not an american. or an idiot whose opinion is only allowed in print because she is the oldest living american whore.
#1 don’t be naive…
No one cares about Madonna anymore except Madonna. Since it was a question between parent and child you can be pretty sure that Madonna leaked it herself. I am sure she wants to see herself in the papers again since it has been so long…
#3 also, the bitch doesn’t even LIVE in America. She lives in Britain, has taken up a British accent, and pretends at commentary about “what America needs”.
Hopefully, the infamous Brittany kiss was teh kiss of death for them both.
Madonna…yawn.
The British accent is funny, but otherwise she’s past her expiration. Let’s move on people.
She did play EVITA. I guess that totally makes her qualified to analyze American politics. And Shanghai Surprise was a great movie.
Madge should stick to what she knows best: putting her bag of bones in a leotard and strutting around like an old whore lounge singer.
Celebrities have every right to espouse just like anyone else, but when does Madonna live in any conceivable version of reality?
Just because many women don
she looks as scary as hell
What’s with the picture of Michael Jackson?
Does anyone remember how this broad showed her intelligence when she came out with the “Justify My Love” video, which broke just about every statute that the FCC had at the time?
Now we need her showing her wisdom again? She only does it for ratings. Just STFU!!
well…shes right. and anyway, what makes her any less qualified to comment on american politics than our raging idiot of a president. and what do you mean you are wondering how the lourdes/gay thing got out, it was an interview with madonna in OUT magazine. seriously, know what you are talking about before you write it down on the internet
Madonna’s career is over. O-v-e-r. She needs to accept it.
Man, Fuck Madonna. She looks like a dude…
Madonna is in her mid-forties and is therefore right on schedule to suddenly develop a social conscience and start lecturing the American public to become more supportive of female politicians. Guess she’s hoping for an invite to an upcoming exclusive event from Hillary (and I don’t mean Duff)!
Is it just me or does she look like Michael Jackson in that picture?
Wait… Madonna’s still alive?
#12
Thank you! Seriously…Madonna (one of the most successful American women in history – with a genius-level IQ) says that she thinks that Americans are scared to have a woman president, and people start making comments like, “Madonna is ugly and old.” “Madonna looks like a man.” “Madonna is a dumb whore.” “Madonna’s career is over.”
No one even mentions the point she made! Sounds to me like everyone is just proving her point that Americans are scared of powerful women. And, on a side note, how is her career over if the song “Hung Up” has spent 16 weeks on the international charts?
Here we go again. Madge and her BFF Gwynie consistently bash the very country that made them the overpaid hags they are. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if the typical American finally started voting with their dollar? If we finally got sick and tired of these celeb America-bashers and hit them in the pocketbook? Whatever you think of our country, or the people who comprise it, can you at least not dog it when you have profited by it for years? And like Paltrow and Madonna are great intellects themselves! I wonder if Madonna thought so poorly of our American judgment when we made her a millionaire many times over via album sales? And stop comparing us to Europe! There is no comparison.
I never hear the name “Madonna” any more without wanting to stick “shut up” in front of it.
Haha. Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna Go Madonna !
exactly #18. she makes a political comment, and all you can say about her is that shes ugly and old, as if that invalidates her opinion. the funny thing is, you are only proving her point of people being afraid of powerful women. and you know what, who cares if they bash america. there is ALOT to bash and MAYBE if more people had a problem like she has with this country, then perhaps we wouldnt have dubya as a president.
I don’t think anyone cares about what Madonna actually said. Just the fact that Madonna thinks people actually listen to/care about what she says makes me want to punch her in the neck. The message isn’t the problem, it’s the messenger.
She must be talking about Condi, because we all know Hillary is a man. Why else would Bill Clinton have sex with Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and Monica Lewinsky, and then stay away from Hillary?
100% man baby.
Please. Americans are not “scared” of women. There are plenty of women in some of the most important leadership positions in the country. Just because we’ve yet to elect a woman prez or a woman VP doesn’t mean much, except that there hasn’t been a dynamic, enthusiastic candidate along the likes of Margaret Thatcher that people can really get behind. I mean, I live in the most backwards-thinking state in the U.S. (Kansas) and we have a woman governor, a Democrat no less. Get over yourself, Madge.
Agreed with #18 and #22 but apparently we hold the minority opinion.
While we’re generalizing about ppl (Europeans, homosexuals), it’s interesting how quickly Americans are to launch irrelevant and unsubstantiated criticisms at others but they themselves are completely incapable of receiving any criticism without becoming defensive and dismissive.
A postmodern ironic mindtrick? Or just an inability to engage in informed debate?
I love how we’re being told to “move on” by #5. You know… ’cause we’re not here to comment on the post about Madonna at all, are we? Madonna was great, her head just got too big for her scull. And she’s not the only one baggin’ on the US for their inability to do things right. Woman or not…
Madonna makes me lose trust in women. It’s that accent, changing all the time… seems sneaky.
I agree with #19….if you are willing to make a profit off of Americans, then don’t critisize the people who made you rich. If it wasn’t for us American’s eatin’ up her shit back in the 80′s, she’d be a hooker in Vegas right now. And she’d probably have to make change.
And it’s not that she has an opinion that I think makes people hate her. Like I always say, OPINIONS ARE LIKE ASSHOLES – EVERYONE HAS GOT ONE…but It’s her uppitiness about it and the condescending manner. I wish she’d just go away once and for all.
Okay, if a woman would RUN for president, there would be no issue. Madonna is just talking to talk. What a media whore.

“Here we go again. Madge and her BFF Gwynie consistently bash the very country that made them the overpaid hags they are. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if the typical American finally started voting with their dollar? ”
Your ignorant comment reflects your limited ego driven brain power. You actually think that Madonna and all the other U.S. “stars” out there were only created by the U.S.? I guess you forgot about the rest of the millions of people around the world who made her as rich and popular as she is. Then again, what can you expect from yet another delusioned american. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to enlighten you, because you obviously need it you poor silly fuck,your voting system STILL doesn’t work, voting with dollars or not, you stupid fuck. You do not live in a democracy,you live in a plutocracy run by corporations.Do some research,you live in “the land of the great and free” yet the closest thing you have to a female president is Gina Davis, laugh out fucking loud. For god’s sake, Ireland, Latvia, Finland, Liberia, The Phillipines and Chile all have female presidents. Let’s not forget about female prime ministers in Bangladesh (do you not see how embarrassing that is? Fucking Bangladesh has female leaders,what do the states have, a cute t.v. show), Germany, New Zealand, Mozambique and Sao Tome e Principi. Good luck and wake up and smell the coffee. Don’t bother bringing up Condi Rice, we all know her job amounts to constant Bush damage control, no real power.Happy International Women’s Day.
really long version:
first of all, while her message may be valid or invalid, the point is not what she says, but rather, that she is the one saying it. personally, i would vote for any qualified woman running for president (given it’s not “condi”), but the fact that these words drop from the mouth of madonna totally undermines the relevance of the point. this person is a publicity whore beyond all imagination. she pretends to be an english aristocrat scorning those lowly, bourgeois yanks across the pond, when it was only a few short eons ago that she was a unibrowed mallrat from rochester hills, michigan… and even more recently that she bragged about sucking on dennis rodman’s crank (during her NBAsingles.com phase). she released a press statement about a hernia… she told the world about the heartwarming discussion with her daughter regarding “mommy pop stars,” “baby pop stars,” and photo-op soul kisses… she would probably announce the length, color, and diameter of her daily bowel movements on the evening news if she thought it would serve her career, and frankly, i’m not sure why it hasn’t happened yet. (although admittedly, i don’t get BBC here.) however, i really don’t blame her at this point; instead, the blame falls squarely on the vodun priest who reanimated her bony-ass corpse, dug it out if the ground after snuggling with the worms for ten years, got it two dozen pr firms, sent it to yoga class, gave it a kabbalah bracelet, and told it, “your name is esther. you were born in england to the house of tudor back in the 17th century… now renounce the material world and drive back to your country estate in the bentley.” p.s. yeah, her song made the international charts–a fitting punishment for europe waging two world wars and forcing us to save them twice. ;-) (but we’ve got bush now, and our turn for payback is quickly coming…)
really short version:
OMG! like, she sooo wants attention or something!! LOL!!!
#31 – bcgirl, I assume that’s British Columbia? If not, please enlighten me as to what utopia you currently reside. Calm down with the nation envy. My comment was not ignorant, unlike your own. Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow did start their careers in the good old USA. It was their popularity in America that allowed them to transcend “the pond” and find greater success worldwide. Do you really think Madonna – and let’s not forget, faux accent aside, she is from Detroit – would be known by anyone is she didn’t find early success in New York? I mean, how many stars really attain worldwide recognition without capturing America? This is not boastful or ignorant, or even jingoistic. It’s simply true. Americans have more buying power, with the most open free market at our disposal, and that is how we influence and inflate the status of celebrities. How many Scandinavian superstars do you know of? Or British Columbian megastars? And for your info, America is the world’s sole superpower, so I’ll go ahead and be the ugly American you want me to be. And we saved the world’s ass in World War 2. So swallow your hatred and thank us for not having to speak so guttural a language as German.
#31 – bcgirl, I assume that’s British Columbia. If not, please elucidate me as to what utopia you currently reside. My comment was not ignorant, unlike your own. Americans have more buying power with the world’s greatest free market at our fingertips (hence, we have the most millionaires). That is how we influence world taste, good or bad. Maddona and Paltrow did get their start in America, let’s not forget Madge is from Detroit – fake accent aside. Do you really think she would have made it without the support of New York d.j.s spinning her crap? How many Scandanavian superstars are there? Or British Columbian megastars? And why do you think when someone else makes in the world makes it they want so desperatly to cross over to America? Now I’ll finish by playing the part of ugly American. As much as you hate us you should swallow your pride long enough to thank us for saving the world during World War 2. We spared you from speaking so guttural a language as German.
Comment #31 nails it.
eediot..
So much anger.
It has made you powerful!
Strike down your father!
Comment #31 nails it if you are a celeb worshipper who runs to the mailbox looking for this week
She right in away, except Americans arn’t just afraid of women in power, they seem to be afraid of everything and lash out against it, like nudity, sex, terrorists, Actually it might be easier to make a list of things Amercians arn’t afraid of: Madonna! LOL
Willem Dafoe looks pretty crazy with long hair.
to my knowledge, “bc” usually stands for either “birth control” or “barmy crotch”… (barmy (adjective): full of froth or ferment) however, “british comlumbia” is equally good.
p.s. to bcgirl if it does indeed stand for “british columbia”: could you possibly score me a lid of super skunk #6? i will pay cold hard american moolah!
oops. “columbia”… whatever.
#41 that was awful.
Dragging Dafoe into this mess is uncalled for >:(
(check out my angry smiley.. hell yes.)
Madonna… take a clue for Cher. STFU and continue making worthless music.
This one is funny. I am not a washed up madonna fan. Madonna is like a jelly doughnut, from a distance it almost looks edible, but once you get inside, it is full of fake surgary goo.
#40 You’re right. It’s incredibly stupid to be afraid of and lash out against terrorism. Are you serious???!!!
P.S. There’s a little thing called ‘sentence structure’. Look it up.
P.P.S. There’s another little thing called ‘spell check’. Look that up while you’re at it.

Sorry,can you tell me again what you were spewing about,something like,”the USA put Madonna on the map ,if it wasn’t for us blah,blather,blah,blah…”
The numbers don’t lie, take a close look.Looks like the rest of the world has helped to sustain Madonna’s career after all and has spent more $ than the states doing it.
Pamela Anderson, Jason Priestly and Michael. J Fox-all megastars-all from B.C.
Michael J. Fox and Jason Priestly, “megastars?” Drive your Delorean back to 2006. And Pamela Anderson is known for what besides being a megaslut?
Thank you for proving that America, which gets blamed for being arrogant and tiring, did not unleash the most arrogant and tiring disease factory on Earth (Madonna, Pam Anderson is second). God help us all.
Now remember the Canada rule..speak only when spoken to.
4 & 19: I AGREE.
Madonna wouldn’t be SHIT without America…who’s bought all her CDs, seen all her shows, and given her a Golden Globe? AMERICANS. Everybody knows that you’re not really a huge star until America makes you a star. She’s an unloyal, dried-up half-wit with a fake accent, face, and voice. [She sounds SOOO computerized on her last few singles.]
And, to top it all off, I’m SO TIRED of people acting like Britain is so far ahead of the US when it comes to leadership. Remember, for MANY decades now, the Queen or King has only been a public figure – its the prime minister who makes all the real decisions and acts the same way the U.S. President does…
So how many female prime ministers has Britain had???
wow, lotta angst and bitterness out there. nickelback, avril lavigne, sarah mclachlan, alannis morrissette, to name a few talented musicians, who happen to come from canada. i’m a proud canadian, but i also think that we are global, not to be divided into all these subcategories of superpowers and ugly cousins. and btw, america didn’t enter the ww2 until they were attacked. i love how you all seem to forget that. ww2 started in 1939 people. we had a woman pm if only for a couple months, and it was a NON ISSUE. get over the vagina people.
