Grace Jones Un-Censored

In an interview with German magazine TV Spielfilm, Jamaican-born entertainer Grace Jones said she was sorry Hillary Clinton had failed to last through the primaries, and that she "can't stand" vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Jones, 60, said Palin stood for a backward vision of America laden with government restrictions of sexuality and social behavior.

"I would have loved it if Hillary Clinton had pulled it off," Jones said in the interview published in German marking the release of her new album. "I can't stand Sarah Palin. I bet a woman like that has no sense of humor."

The androgynous Jones, who was a disco staple in the 1980s, admits she had angered feminists for stunts such as "appearing naked in a cage," but insisted she had the right to determine what was artistic or simply exploitative.

"I believe a woman can present herself as a sex object if she has fun doing it," she said.
