Madonna Hearts Michael Moore

Madonna and Michael Moore are BFF, reports the AP, and were hanging out at the Traverse City Film Festival, where Madonna was showing her documentary about the AIDS crisis in Malawi, I Am Because We Are (trailer above; warning: unrelenting bleakness). Madonna said, "We need, I need, Michael Moore in my life."
Karin Badt's review of the movie on The Huffington Post suggests Moore might not be a positive influence on her:
The film is weak and its weakness lies in Madonna's over-the-top urge to make this a film of hope. After shocking us with facts and images, Madonna (with director Rissman) overburdens the film with an insistence on positive thinking as the solution. These people could make the country work if only they adopted a forward-leaning attitude. "You can change your destiny," the voice-over goes, admonishing the people of Malawi to remember the mantra: "I am responsible for my actions."
Badt goes on to suggest some better strategies than just "caring" for making a difference in Malawi, including Madonna's NGO, Raising Malawi.

2.
At fifty is Madonna trying to show that she has more than a disdainful stare?

3. I am officially done with Madonna. As if everything she's done since "Ray of Light" didn't suck enough... Anyone who NEEDS than man in their life is not anyone I NEED to give money to.

4. Ahh yes Michael Moooo the far left icon of Ada huff and hollyweird..I thought Mooo was going to leave America if Bush was re elected? Both of these people hate America and of course America made them who they are, gave them both an audience, and gave them their freedom of speech..

the america you mention was founded and furthered by liberals just like Michael moore. Conservatives were the redcoats and Tories.
As to freedom of speech, that's the bill of rights. You can thank a liberal for that, along with every benefit you enjoy. None of them were proposed by anti-liberals.

6. So what is your point Clif? You just copy and pasted it from Cenks blog...Why does he have to think a liberal for his statement? Is is not true what he said? Moore and Madonna proudly admit they dislike America, what is your point?

7. I am so totally disgusted about Madonna's comments about John McCain in her current tour that I would like to join this Madonna hate campaign. Why can't celebrities keep their mouths shut about politics. She has really shown her ignorance, lack of judgement and hatred for the U.S. And, oh by the way, if we want to see our country destroyed, let's vote in Obama for president. Make sure you read the "The Obama Nation" It will open your eyes.
