Material Girl covers Clark with praise
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --The Material Girl has stepped onto the political stage and endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark.
"I think he has a good handle on foreign policy, I think he's good with people, and I think he has a heart and a consciousness," pop singer Madonna said. "He's interested in spirituality -- I mean, those things mean a lot to me."
The singer and children's book author met Clark a few weeks ago for over an hour. In an interview recorded last week with CNN's Denise Quan, Madonna said they discussed his becoming president.
The singer told Quan she had decided to support the former general and she felt Clark was a natural-born leader.
"As it stands right now, he's got my support," Madonna said.
The two were introduced by "Bowling for Columbine" filmmaker Michael Moore, who was an early supporter of Clark.
Madonna said she saw a few television interviews with Clark and wanted to meet with him herself.
"I think to be the general for as long as he's been, this is a man who knows how to deal with pressure and make decisions under pressure," Madonna said.
Clark, a retired Army general, was NATO's supreme commander during the 1999 air war against Yugoslavia.
He testified Monday and Tuesday in the war crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, now held in The Hague. (Full story)
"We're delighted with the endorsement of a superstar for our four-star," said Matt Bennett, a Clark campaign spokesman. |

Now I want Bush to be endorsed by Shania Twain. And then I want the election cancelled in favor of a legally-binding celebrity catfight. Is that too much to ask?

Has anyone else seen Clark on CNN a couple of days ago? He was being interviewed by Paula Zahn after Saddam's capture and she asked him (IIRC): "If you were president, Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Irak, wouldn't he?"
Man, i haven't seen anyone skating like that since the Olympics. He's not a real politician and it showed. He looked stunned for a moment and could not even come up with an evasive response.

...and the value of this information? Zero. This deed doesn't mean nor matter anything. Nothing else but petty, useless 'entertainment', that's what that news-'channel' is all about. This is just yet another proof that CNN sucks.

Uh, the value of the original topic subject, covered by CNN. |
The subject was Clark's reaction to Saddam's capture. It is newsworthy. I do agree that the question was loaded but he is a politician (now) and should have expected it and been prepared.

That's true; it really is a strange question.
Though, I still would have been happier if he had said "Yes, that's absolutely right, Paula.".
Still, from what I've seen of him elsewhere, he urinates and defecates all over Dean in the 'interview likeability' factor.
Um... Metaphorically speaking, that is.
