[Laurence Horn]

After speaking out on (apparent) behalf of the President--

"Y'all better vote for fucking Obama, OK? We have a black Muslim in the White House. Now that's some amazing shit. It means there is hope in this country."

--Madonna "clarified" her remarks by explaining that she was "being ironic".
