American Life

Madonna’s endorsement of candidate Wesley Clarke is all over the media today in the US.

CBS News gives more strenght to the rumor that Madonna will host a fund-raising concert for the retired general at her Los Angeles home.

CBS News Reporter Bonney Kapp, who is traveling with the Clark campaign, reported two weeks ago that the candidate was trying to generate celebrity “buzz.”

At the time, Clark had already met privately with Hollywood heavyweights like Madonna and Jennifer Lopez. Celebrities like actor Ed Norton and REM singer Michael Stipe also attended a Clark fund-raiser in Manhattan.

Kapp reported that the singer had previously given Clark an unofficial “OK” to mention her name at events.

AFP also reports that Madonna organized a dinner for Clark at her Los Angeles residence in November, when he was in town raising funds for his presidential bid, according to Clark spokesman Jamal Simmons.
“We have a superstar supporting a four star,” he quipped.
