Last night, pop icon Madonna made a somewhat interesting endorsement of President Obama’s re-election during her show in Washington, D.C., by telling the crowd, “Y’all better vote for fucking Obama, okay? For better or for worse, we have a black Muslim in the White House.”

She later clarified her statement:

“I was being ironic on stage. Yes, I know Obama is not a Muslim — though I know that plenty of people in this country think he is. And what if he were? The point I was making is that a good man is a good man, no matter who he prays to. I don’t care what religion Obama is — nor should anyone else in America.”
Sure, that’s definitely what everyone will take home from the speech.

Last month, rapper–and occasional Madonna copycat–Nicki Minaj got in similar trouble for claiming to be a Mitt Romney supporter on rapper Lil Wayne’s mixtape.

 

Can this campaign and political climate understand Minaj’s and Madonna’s words as ironic, or are things too serious for such wordplay?
