Twitter attack on Madonna

A SENIOR ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin used an obscene Twitter post to attack Madonna yesterday after the pop star called for the release of three women who face prison over an irreverent performance in Moscow’s main cathedral.

Deputy prime minister ­Dmitry Rogozin, a nationalist politician and former envoy to Nato, posted the tweet after Madonna told a Moscow concert audience the jailed members of punk band Pussy Riot were “courageous” and deserved to be free.

“Every ex-wh*re tends to lecture everybody with age. Especially during world tours and concerts,” tweeted Mr Rogozin.
