Also, I think we should appropriate the term "slut vote." You know -- voters who are in favor of access to contraception and abortion, comprehensive sex education, gay rights etc. etc.

Consider me a slut voter!

Seconded!

*raises hand*

Registered Slut Voter here!

(and that's slut voter for Obama, btw. I don't need McCain et al. looking out for my uterus. I need education, access, and a doctor who cares)

Is "The Corner" at NRO now "Deep Thoughts with Kathryn Jean Lopez"? All she seems to post there are random anti-feminist non sequitors ...

It always floors me the language people use about people who are sexually active and not married, like we're this tiny insular minority hell-bent on corrupting the nation's True Love Wait-ers. When in reality, the statistics show that, what, like 95% of Americans DON'T wait for marriage to have sex. And oh yeah, many of them VOTE. Moral majority, my ass.

Madonna circa 1993 is my favorite Madonna! I guess I must be a raging strumpet. Woohoo!

Seriously, I may not be the biggest fan of Madonna's but she doesn't deserve to be called a whore just because she's sexual at an older age - I think it's great. Eff you, K-Lo.

"Whore-at-50"???
Madonna isn't really "whoring" it up anymore. But even in her earlier days, I didn't consider her a whore.

Also, I'm a slut voter. Woo!

Alas, another anti-feminist who can't distinguish between sluts and whores - but important, but distinct, voting blocs.

I love this song meaning and video.

Hah! Looking through comments on that article,they're all bashing her for using her celebrity to push political issues. It seems that no one complains about celebrities political commentary so long as it's COMPLIMENTARY to them. Then of course, they have to bring up personal issues such as her family life- as if THAT has anything to do at all with the issue at hand.

I was at Cardiff, and yelled my throat raw during that segment- Madonna ROCKS!

I'm a slut; and yes- I VOTE!!

I think Madonna was at her trampiest in the early eighties, with all her lace and mesh. She was awesome! I liked that more raw slutty Madonna better than the more polished and in-your-face version that came later.

Anyway, I'm definitely a slut voter.

Of all the things that Madonna has done calling out McCain can hardly be considered a fault. Calling her a slut for questioning the idea that female sexuality needs to be "proper" just shows the degree to which women are socially disciplined.

reminds me of that Margaret Cho bit... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=183l-qkr2_w (about 3:40 in...)

Where's my parade? Slut pride!

Yo, where is the Slut PAC? Sign me up!

Madonna never had a drug problem. Never checked herself to rehab. All she's done for the past 25 years is do the work of an artist -- provoke us in interesting, astounding, transgressive, and sometimes unsettling ways. Madonna is one of my heroes.

It is ridiculous for any politician to have a comment on personal expression of an opinion of a pop star/artist. After all, she doesn't even live in the United States and Obama, not Madonna, is running for President,

Can a virgin count as a Slut voter? Whereas I've never had sex, I still think that a woman has the right to have sex and control her body reproductively as she deems fit. I'm for the education, choice, and rights of everyone to have sex safely and for their own reasons.

Is a virgin allowed to join the ranks so that when she decides to make that step, she can have all her rights? If so, I'm a slut voter all the way!

P.S. Trashy Madonna Rox my Sox!

Jilli-Bean,

i think it's crucial not only that virgins rock the slut vote, but also make sure that their voices and choices are as honored as those of practicing sluts like me!

So, being in control of your sexuality and enjoying sex makes you a slut? I guess I'll join the slut bandwagon.
But I do miss 80s and 90s Madonna, before she discovered motherhood and the joys of collecting ehtnic children like St. Jolie.
