Somehow, I doubt this will have much of an effect on the polls, but Wesley Clark has picked up a key endorsement — from Madonna. Yes, that Madonna.
Sure, Clark already enjoys the support of several U.S. senators, House members, and state lawmakers, but really, how many records have they sold?
CNN is reporting that Madonna had the chance to meet Clark a few weeks ago, after having been introduced by filmmaker and writer Michael Moore. Apparently, she came away impressed.
“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,” she said.
Madonna added, “As it stands right now, he’s got my support.”
Thankfully, the campaign responded with the obligatory, eye-rolling pun: “We’re delighted with the endorsement of a superstar for our four-star,” said Clark campaign spokesman Matt Bennett.
Who knew Clark was so big with the entertainment crowd? His backers now include Madonna, the Eagles, Affleck and J-Lo, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, Larry David, and Barbra Streisand. I guess this will help with fundraising, if nothing else.
