Am I glad to have a president who is willing to publicly call Madonna disgusting? Yes! Does this change anything in America? No! The incontrovertible truth about our country is found in the fact that the disgusting "Material Girl" has won both fortune and fame in America. This is who we are and what our country has become, a nation in which decadence and profanity lead to celebrity, not condemnation. I'm reminded in the face of such frightful vice across today's Fruited Plain of the words of Alexander Pope.
