Madonna Bans Republican Sarah Palin From Attending Tour

More Madonna

Madonna has banned the Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin from attending any of her concerts.

The singer told a crowd in Meadowlands, New Jersey on Saturday (October 4th) that the Alaskan governor wasn't allowed to her “party”.

“Sarah Palin can't come to my show. It's nothing personal,” Madonna was quoted by the NY Post as saying, before adding: “Here's the sound of Sarah Palin's husband's snowmobile when it won't start.”

It's not the first time Madonna has spoken out against the Republican party during her 27-date Sticky & Sweet world tour.

The singer was criticised for bracketing an image of presidential hopeful John McCain with Adolf Hitler on the opening night of her world tour.

A spokesperson for Mr McCain's campaign said Madonna's actions were “outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time.”

~ by bpower 10/7/2008
Like Sarah Palin really cares what Madonna thinks..
~ by wonderwall 10/7/2008
Clinton supporters for McCain/Palin. great oxymoron!
~ by madge_icfan 10/7/2008
Madonna, please check your ego at the door. I seriously doubt Sarah Palin would ever care to attend any concert in which you are performing. You are truly important in your own mind.
~ by LOL 10/7/2008
Sarah Palin is sly and untrustworthy, I can see it in her eyes. God help the rest of the world if the Republicans get in.

- hey michael jones what you think is you adam's apple is actually your nose, advise remove head from butt
  ~ by bob 10/7/2008
Is she the daughter of Michael?
~ by Bob 10/7/2008
When Pop stars get involved with Politics you know they are cunts. I couldnt care less about Sarah Palin, but to ban her from a gig for being a republican is just shit, WTF is wrong with some people (Madge that is), the US people can decide who they want from the candidates themselves, not some wrinkly old bitch that ran over to my beloved England.

- Omg, madonna is such a skank. poor Guy Ritchie, WTF was he thinking????
  ~ by bizmail4bc 3/26/2009
they are both idiots but at least madonna only makes herself look like a fool,Palin could actually do real damage.
~ by HEEGHHEEEGHEEEGH 10/7/2008
Obama is a Marxist who will raise taxes through the roof, and he befriends terrorists. God help the rest of the world if the Democrats get in.
~ by Snooger 10/7/2008
- you are stupid - get your facts before you speak.

Barack Obama Was Selected. Hillary Clinton was Elected. Hillary Clinton not only earned more Votes than Barack Obama, she earned more Votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America.
~ by Bitter&Clinging 10/7/2008
I'd definitely do Palin! Over Madonna any day!
~ by Murphy 10/7/2008
Good idea Madonna, why to invite middle ages woman?
~ by rhodien 10/7/2008
Who cares what you think or say, Madonna? You are disgusting. I'm sure if Sarah reads your insults, she'll just laugh - Like I am right now HA HA... Like a has-been like you has any relevance Ha Ha Go away, and we don't want you to ever come to the USA !! Ha HA HA
~ by anti-madonna 10/7/2008
- Thought I'd get another chuckle in before calling it a day... HA HA HA Thanks for the laugh Madonna
  ~ by anti-madonna 10/8/2008
When Palin becomes president in 2016, she won't let Madonna back in the country.
~ by Debra 10/7/2008
Madonna has quite the ego I see? I'm surprised at how threatened she feels buy a successful, happily married women. Hmmmm I wonder why... Is it that 'Khaballah' doesn't teach about jealousy or is that Madonna has no real interest in becoming a better human being?
~ by elle 10/7/2008
Madonna is old and a has-been, no one cares Madonna.
~ by ckblv 10/7/2008
Madonna is assuming Palin would want to see Madonna's trashy show. I think Palin has more class than that. I have a feeling that Palin, like me, knows that a woman governor has done more for advancing women than some slut who takes each and every chance to trash all that is good in this country and degrade women. Thank God I knew at the age of twelve that this woman would help society cater to the lowest denominator in humanity.
~ by sls 10/7/2008
Who is Madonna again? Why would an intelligent woman who did not have to screw her way to recognition even want to go to that geriatrics show?
~ by Jane 10/7/2008
Why would anyone want to see Madonna? Tina Turner is selling more tickets that that Mitzy Gaynor lookalike. Madonna jumped the shark about 10 years ago.
~ by intouch 10/7/2008
Yeah, you said it. What a washed up 2008 Vice President nominee, whilst you, on the other hand, are just the pristine example of womanhood aren't you? Can you even spell your name Madonna? The truth is, you will be licking Mrs. Palin's boots when she becomes Vice President of the United States of America.
~ by Madonna looks like a pig 10/7/2008
I especially liked the wrinkly old Cunt comment
~ by bob 10/7/2008
So much for tolerance...
~ by LiveFree 10/7/2008
Debra, are you banned from your pharmacy? Because it looks like you are in dire need of your meds.
~ by Steve 10/7/2008
cat fight!!
~ by I don\\\'t know 10/7/2008
Unless Sarah Palin ever develops the need to spend a few hours watching a washed up hag try to be 25 again, it isn't likelly to cause here any great difficulty.This twit's political opinion is almost as important as my supermarket bagger's
~ by Karen 10/7/2008
So much for that "freedom of choice" thing. Madonna needs to perform like the monkey she is and leave the thinking to people with IQ's larger than her bra size.
~ by TheBenevolentDictator 10/7/2008
Madonna is a hag, and grows more hag-like every day. She is slowly morphing into the Wicked Witch of the West. If she wanted to be truly "outrageous," her lifelong obsession, she'd break from her left wing Hollywood cronies/lemmings and endorse McCain.
~ by Edward 10/7/2008
Gosh, I'm sure Palin was pulling out her leather and spikes in preparation for that concert, too. Madonna, who loves the USA so much that she moved to Britain and picked up a fake accent.
~ by Matt Dooley 10/7/2008
Madonna has already done her slutty damage to our culture. If she wants to hurl childish comments on her way down the ladder of success, I doubt it will do anything but lift the infinitely more respectable Mrs. Palin on her way up that ladder. Keep it up you disgusting has been. Try to get George Michael and some of the other creeps from yesteryear to whine in unison with you please...it is very encouraging to us normals.
~ by BuddhaB 10/7/2008
Is that a group of Palin supporters burning copies of 'Mr Peabody's Apples' by Madonna? Oh no--it's literary critics!
~ by bemused 10/7/2008
Madonna is what again?? A saggy old hag that has to say idiotic things to ensure the Obama backing media keeps her in the news, a sad sack of .... smells like liberal stench to me.
~ by PoPSiNgEr 10/7/2008
Eeew!!! What's that smell? Madonna is waaaay past her use-by date.
~ by Paul 10/7/2008
Madonna, you are a joke. By banning Sarah Palin, you just lost you only potential sale for your new CD. Enjoy obscurity. By the way, why are you wearing a guitar...let's see you play it...that's what I thought. Talentless dolt.
~ by Scragglez 10/7/2008
Good OLD Madonna---still crude, coarse, vulgar.
~ by Palomides 10/7/2008
Why would anybody want to see a show starring an over the hill French hooker?
~ by lip 10/7/2008
Michael Jones is sly and untrustworthy, I can read it in his posts. God bless us all if the Republicans get in.
~ by Tiny Tim 10/7/2008
Bless her heart (as our beloved Sarah would say)! Madge can't seem to get any coverage unless she's Republican bashing. Say, what would *I* have to do to have the honor of being banned from a Madonna concert? I'd pay for a certificate to that effect!
~ by Angela W. 10/7/2008
Modonna is Fascism. She has right go to concert.
~ by NoName 10/7/2008
I think the Weekly Standard had the best take on this: "Aging, Barely Clothed Mediocre Vocalist Bans Palin From Concerts" I'm sure Sarah Palin could care less. McCain/Palin 2008
~ by John 10/7/2008
Wow! I would consider that a compliment for Palin if that washed out, man looking, piece of old trash was acknowledging me. I hope she withers away back in England!!
~ by Chrissywooo 10/7/2008
The aging muscle bound whore - clueless to history - obviously admires the ideology of leftist neo-Stalinists. How enlightened. I'll skip that party.
~ by Frogmarch 10/7/2008
I guess Madonna doesn't want someone prettier and more popular than she is at her concerts. Such narcissism is so sad to observe especially in one claiming to be soooo enlightened.
~ by eaglewingz08 10/7/2008
I'd rather go see Palin than Madonna, anyway!
~ by Magpie 10/7/2008
Who let all these Republicans in? Some dirty GOP newsletter been sent out to spam Gigwise? VOTE OBAMA no to neocon scum!
~ by Andy 10/7/2008
- I think MadDonna ought to have all the by invitation only concerts she wants. Sent out invites to all the old Hollywood/Media has beens. Who even cares what she does except maybe Katy Couric who is desperate for 6:00 news and doesn't know nobody watches it anyway.
  ~ by Kaydee 10/7/2008
Wow, she does anything to promote herself. I think the average American is sick of her. Stick to your cone bras and being that good influence on our young people. We need more trash. Get in the real world, give up your millions you rip people off for. Some how, entertainers lately seem to try to act like one of us. Some are part of the problem. The world looks at us as immoral, greedy people. Not all of us are. Start by cleaning up Hollywood, then you can preach from your pedistal
~ by realworld 10/7/2008
That is something I would expect to hear from a 7-year-old. But then Madonna is just a middle-aged gal trying to act 20.
~ by adlibn 10/7/2008
Madonna, how old are you? Really. BTW a guitar is an instrument, not a prop.
~ by JOBMD 10/7/2008
Who is this old British woman?
~ by Stan 10/7/2008
What crushing blow to Sarah Palin! I imagine she must be devastated to learn that she would be unwelcome at Ms. Ciccone's screechfest.
~ by RandalH 10/7/2008
Oh Madonna, why won't you just grow old gracefully without trying to seem hip. You're washed up and I'm sure Palin isn't jonesing for tickets.
~ by Joel 10/8/2008
Picture # 3 startled me! Whoa.... creepy

The Material Girl is immaterial these days.

~ by Levi 10/8/2008
Of all the smart intelligent women McCain could have picked why would he choose such an airhead for VP???!!
~ by Muffy 10/10/2008
music isnt for everyone!! if you are in politics that means you. they dont do anything to help others enjoy life so why should others do it for them? im with madonna on this one.

Republicans for Obama/Biden. Sarah Palin is a stupid trashy slut.

Please forgive Madonna...With her entire life in shambles-it's hard to face a woman like Sarah who stand for everything that she's not!!!
