Watch Video of Madonna’s “Cougar Attack” on Drake at Coachella

Okay, so it might have been a bit creepy to some.  As Bob Lefsetz put it, Madonna kissing Drake was like getting a smooch from that weird aunt who wears too much makeup and won’t act her age.

But there’s a certain sexist ageism going on her that I’m beginning to find rather disturbing.  So Jimmy Page (71) can go out with a 25 year-old…

…yet it’s Madonna’s kiss that gets all the flack?  Just wonderin’ why Madonna seems to be such a big target for so many people right now.

For the record, it wasn’t the kiss that freaked out Drake; it was Madonna’s “gnarly lipstick.”
