Lloyd Grove: What's going on with Wesley Clark, Madonna and the Kabbala?

[TheWebHead]

Last month, in a speech to Florida Democrats, the retired four-star general - apparently drawing on an cozy dinner in L.A. with Kabbala devotee Madge and her husband, Guy Ritchie - listed "Kabbalism" among the world's great religions.

"Let me tell you something," declared Clark, who received the aging pop star's effusive endorsement this week. "There's one common principle to every faith that I've ever studied, whether it's Catholicism, Protestantism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Kabbalism or every other, and it's this: that those who are the most fortunate help those who are less fortunate."

"Clark might be getting involved in something that he probably doesn't understand," said Rick Ross, a longtime critic of the Kabbalah Centre and of Berg, who Ross claims has grown rich off his unorthodox interpretations.

"He claims he's a Jewish scholar, but what he really is is a businessman. He has more in common with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi than with the mainstream Jewish community."
