Elton John: Sexism to blame for Clinton's lag in polls

A bitter Sir Elton John thinks America's sexism may be sinking his friend Hillary Rodham Clinton.

John, a knighted British subject, said that gender discrimination is behind Clinton's problems in the polls as he addressed 5,000 Clinton supporters at Radio City Musical Hall last night in an event that raised $2.5 million for the cash-strapped campaign.

"I never cease to be amazed by the misogynistic attitudes of some people in this country," said John, wearing a spangled black evening coat over a vermilion silk shirt. "I say to hell with them. ... I love you, Hillary, I'll always be there for you."

John's comments echo the former first lady's remarks to National Public Radio Tuesday, when she said there was "a double standard" in media coverage of the race.

Minutes before Elton John took the stage, Bill Clinton struck an equally defiant tone, chiding TV commentators who are counting out his wife because she trails Barack Obama in delegates and the popular vote.

Oh dear...I am embarrassed to say I misread your post to say ‘black’ instead of ‘the b*tch is back,’ and wondered how Mrs. O got into the discussion. Oh dear...

Only “ageists” would vote against McCain. There's an "ism" or "ist" to suit every purpose.

She is a woman, but she is not a good, trustworthy, or competent woman. Her character and her policies are seriously flawed. Maybe you can take her home to your country since you love her so much.

And furthermore, how dare you come to our country and insult our nation who got rid of your pompous and arrogant monarch when George and the valient boys fought a Revolution in 1776, and then our brave and courageous men sacrificed their precious lives to bail out your country in WWII.

Any man or woman sitting in this pig sty Clinton fundraiser should have left and demanded their money back for saying such lies while denigrating our great people and nation. Maybe you and Pastor Wright ought to get together and pack up and leave.

Personally, I don't see how any rational man could vote for a shrill, scolding, narcissitic harridan hag, Hillary. Some women I could understand, but not all of us.

On the Democratic side, it’s a battle between the misogynists and the racists. Who will win? Will the Democrat misogynists who hate Hillary win? Or will the Democrat racists who hate Obama win?

Stay tuned.

Great musician; one screwed up human being.

I agree, but his idiocy has certainly changed my attitude towards his music.

Frankly, I don't give a crap what he says or sings - he's a nutjob from the get-go, and he doesn't matter.

As British rockers go, not that great. Time for him to do the Freddie. (Mercury, that is).

You can tell everybody it’s just a song. It may be quite simple, but, now that it’s done...
