Because Madonna has always been an expert on presidential politics. Really though, does she think she's helping Barack? More likely she only vaguely cares. All of its good for her, no?
Madonna is so vain and self-centered, she probably does think she is helping Obama. She probably also thinks that comparing Republicans to Nazis is an original idea.
I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop on Daddy Yankee's endorsement of McCain. The moment when McCain figures out that "Gasolina" is not about offshore drilling.
Madonna doesn't need help from politicians. Her street cred is in tact. Supporting, or not supporting a politician isn't going to make her more money than she makes for herself. I'm sure her fan base, which is probably full of Obama fans, loved it.
And For people who become activist to follow suit of their favorite celebrity, yes she's helping Obama.
For anyone who really loves and I mean really loves Paris Hilton, or Britney Spears, they're probably too young to vote anyway. And for McCain to use them in an ad attack against Obama, well that's exactly what an old out of touch man would do, choose celebrities that have long been forgotten.
To really stir up Obama's (perceived) celeb status, he should have used PDiddy in the attack campaign.
So if a book full of outright lies about Obama is published by Rep actvistists and actively promoted by his allies McCain says you need to keep a sense of humor. An over the hill popstar with no ties to Obama insults McCain and it is an outrage.
They're still pushing the un-american celebrity thing too:
"It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."
So, it would appear that the post-Guy Ritchie Madonna has abandoned her British pretensions and decided to be American again? Maybe she can convince A-Rod to give Obama some of that cash.
Madonna is a talent-free zone, always has been, a stupid pimp-on-herself piece of trash, and I wish she'd shut up about politics if not shut up categorically. Actually, let me take that even further and plead with any celebrities (psychically, since they'll never read this) to please do Obama and the Dems a huge favor and SHUT UP AND GO AWAY. You're doing no convincing of anyone and you're feeding into the GOP "elitist" narrative. Thank you and good day.
Here's a piece no one cared about. Meh, whatever, probably the most enjoyable article I did during my stint at TIME. Premiered a month before I got laid-off. The nail in the coffin? Ya think?
Here's me going after Al. I didn't so much have a problem with him, as I had a problem with media acting like this dude was the go-to guy for everything black.
This was my first real story at time. I was writing for the Business section, a real change of direction for me. At any rate, it's about Wal-Mart's attempts to colonize the inner-city. As much as I enjoyed this piece, I mostly enjoyed going out to Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
This a piece I did about the cops just outside our nation capitol, in Prince George's County, a few years back. I wanted to offer a counter to the dumb, conventional wisdom that if you paint your police force black, you could eradicate police brutality. In fact, Prince George's--one of the richest, blackest counties in the country--also had one of the most brutal police force's in the country.

Oy. You truly can't make this shit up.

People, people! Never doubt that Madonna cares!
Almost as much as Oprah and Angelina!

Um, Guy Fawkes, it seems that there are far fewer celebrities actively campaigning for Obama than there were for Kerry or Gore.
Additionally, it seems that most celebrities who have been campaigning have been doing so for McCain (John Voigt, Chuck Norris, Heidi Montag, etc.).
