Hate to say it, but in spite of lots of good sentiments ramping up to the ending, Madonna makes a bit of an ass of herself in this, um, passionate speech that is ostensibly in support of President Obama by calling him "fucking Obama" and by identifying him as a "black Muslim." She may have a Muslim in her secret garden, but the one in our Rose Garden is actually a Christian, something I would expect a liberal Obama-supporting diva to know by now. The idea that he has Muslim heritage may be a plus for her and for diversity, and may be a minus for many voters who are anti-diversity, but regardless of either—it's not true.
She's not stupid, though—she made this speech in D.C. (and touted Obama in New York and Chicago, not sure of anywhere else) but I betcha you won't hear her making it on her Kansas stops.
