Dear Heaven on Earth,Madonna is ashamed of ourcountry, after her candidatelost the presidency. Boo-hoo.
Especially afterMadonna boldly offeringsex to voters. No takers.
Why not look into herpast for being ashamed.Does she remember herfilthy book, Sex, where hermouth … please, let’s not go
there. Libraries banned it asa disgrace.
Now THAT is some-thing to be ashamed of.
Girl, since you’redown on the country thatmade you vast fortunes, per-haps it’s time to pack yourclown clothes and hit the
skyway to Mars.
Yo, Girl, even mogulBarry Diller, a Clintonite, isnow coming ’round.
“Look, 50% of thecountry wanted things tocontinue as they were, 50%wanted change,” Diller tolda CNBC interviewer. “The50% that wanted change hasgotten it. Every day we seethings we’ve never seenbefore. As far as I’m con-cerned, bring it on.”
In truth, does anybodyshiv a get about whatMadonna thinks?
