Madonna’s spat with her hometown reached the halls of Congress Tuesday when U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell called out the pop star out on her Facebook page, saying that she is “tired of Madonna and her cheap shots …”

The 56-year-old pop star said in a recent interview on “The Howard Stern Show” that Rochester Hills, where she grew up as Madonna Louise Ciccone, was populated by “basic provincial-thinking people.”

Then, last week, Madonnal told “Us Weekly” that she misses “absolutely nothing about Michigan.”

“Enough already Madonna!” U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn, posted on her Facebook page.

Dingell, D-Dearborn, said Michigan contributed to the pop star’s success and she should “quit badmouthing us.”

“We don’t take shots at her, her style her life … so something good must have happened here,” said Dingell, who was elected last fall to replace her husband, John Dingell, the longest-serving person in Congress until his retirement.

“... She certainly never learned what the nuns taught me,” Dingell wrote. “If you cannot say something nice don’t.”

The Material Girl’s comments also raised the ire of Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan K. Barnett, who penned a terse letter in which he said the city was home to some “pretty amazing people,” including Madonna herself.
