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.”

  • 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.

  • 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.
