A Madge And Me And You

Well, it's finally happened. After working at CongressDaily for 13 years now, I've finally gotten Madonna into the newspaper. It's been a long time coming. Oh sure, I've hinted at her in issues past in headlines. I've even written a page with every headline referring to one of her songs. Thank god for the current immigration debate. It's allowed "borderline" to take on a whole new meaning. I guess I should thank my "lucky stars." Oh now Jason stop. You have gone too far. Or, have I not gone far enough?

Anyway, I nearly shat myself when I received a press release saying Mary Lambert has made a documentary about all the women of the Senate. Makes sense. Her sister is a senator. But before she set her sights on Congress, Mary directed some of Madonna's best music videos, including Like a Virgin and Like a Prayer.

Wednesday I spent an hour sifting through AP images looking for the best picture of Madonna to run with the article. It was truly the happiest moment of my life. Or it will be, until next week, when I sit down with Mary to pretend to interview her about her movie and sister, when I'll really be there to gossip about Madonna. It will be the closest I'll ever get to my Madge.
