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.

A little girl-on-girl action! Oh, that's hot, baby -- HOT!!!
I’d vote for her.
I think that’s the official queen to queen air kiss.
Yes they have. The Brits have always knighted musicians and composers.
Sir John Field, Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Thomas Beecham, Sir Clifford Curzon, Sir John Barbirolli, Sir Arnold Bax, Sir William Walton, Sir Arthur Sullivan, Sir Benjamin Britten, Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Sir Georg Solti, Sir Colin Davis, etc.
So Hillary is losing because Americans are all Sexist. If the positions were reversed presumably Obama would be losing because Americans are all Racist. If McCain starts to lose, is that because Americans are all Lyssophobic? (look it up).
Is it possible to make informed decisions any more, or does everything have to have an ulterior motive?
HUH???
Let me know when they get to “Sir Dusty Springfield,” or “Sir Lulu.” ;)
Sorry —nothing that any of Britian’s “queens” have to say make a bit of difference to this American Girl....
Hillary is a devil in disguise
Does this guy’s elevator go to the top floor?
You have no business in American politics. And thank God I didn't buy any of you songs. BTW, you clothes last night looked like your pj's got stuck in the dryer with someone's red panties.
Keep talking for Hil, that will insure she flames-out.
I wonder if Sir John voted for Margaret Thatcher.
Misogyny and she’s a piss-poor campaigner, but mostly because she’s a piss-poor campaigner.
Just dresses like her, on formal occasions. ;)
PANTSUIT IN THE WIND
Tune: "Candle in the Wind"
Hello, Crusty Queen,
Though you never cleaned it at all,
You had the guts to wear your suit
While those around you crawled.
They crawled out of the odor
And they kept on holding their nose,
They shouted from a distance
And they begged you, "Change your clothes."
And it seems to me you wore your clothes
Like a pantsuit in the wind,
Never knowing what to change to
When the stains set in.
And I would have liked to have worn one,
But it would make me ill.
Your perfume wore out long before
Your pantsuit ever will.
“I love you, Hillary, I’ll always be there for you.”
High praise, indeed! Oh, well, at least one “man” loves her!
Reinforcing my long held hope for the day when Hillary is off the front pages as I’m sick and tired of her CRAP.
In that, he has something in common with many of the pro-McCain supporters.
