LOS ANGELES () - Madonna has always reveled in disceptation and with the recent launch of her concert tour, "Sticky & Sweet," the 50-year-old pop headliner has kicked up a new pother by comparing John McCain to Adolf Hitler in a video.

While other stars rose to fame in the 1980s then faded away, "Material Girl" Madonna has become a global wizard and tied courted arguing to rest relevant to younger audiences.
"Madonna seems to be an extraordinarily brilliant business adult female in the business of culture," aforesaid Robert Thompson, a professor of media at and pop refinement at Syracuse University.
"She's controlled her controversy, so every time she's been in contention it does her undecomposed not uncollectible," he told .
As her globe tour opened in Cardiff, Wales, over the weekend, Madonna showed a video montage juxtaposing images of Hitler with McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona running for president against Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. The Democrats on Monday launched their nominating convention.
McCain's campaign goddam Madonna with a movement spokesman recounting media organizations that the video was "outrageous, unacceptable and inexpertly divisive."
Abraham Foxman, national music director for Jewish group The Anti-Defamation League also issued a statement calling it "outrageous to invoke Nazi imagery in the context of use of John McCain's political campaign."
