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.

When the Guardian had its readers send letters to the residents of a pivotal Ohio county imploring (or hectoring...) then to vote against GWB, the outrage was so immense and so vocal even that rag was stunned. Americans HATE having foreigners attempt to interfere with internal US affairs, and they HATE being lectured by them, too. If Elton John is a closet HRC hater, he could not have said or done anything likely to hurt her worse.

Hey John, maybe people just don’t like or trust her....maybe they recognize her duplicity, mendacity, and general falseness. She is like some of your outfits - a fantasy…in her case an empty pant suit………….get a life Elton.

Free trade is a critical issue in Pennsylvania, a state that has seen many of its manufacturing jobs migrate overseas since the 1970s. Clinton says she raised concerns about the North American Free Trade Agreement passed by her husband despite publicly supporting the increasingly unpopular pact.

“The Colombia free trade deal, in my view, is not appropriate because of the history of suppression and targeted killings of labor organizers in Colombia,” she added. “There is an argument that there has been some improvement and change by the Colombian government, but it is not enough for me.”

The former president, appearing at a Manhattan steakhouse before the fundraiser celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Northern Irish peace accord, refused to answer reporters’ questions about the topic.

“I'm here for the Irish,” said Clinton, when asked about his position on the deal. His face reddened when a journalist asked if he regretted taking the money in Colombia.

“Nice try,” he said, walking away.
