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.

 The arrogance of many Brits never ceases to amaze me. It couldn't be possible that Clinton is losing because American are simply tired of the Clintons.  It's out of the question that she's losing because she is a pathological liar.  It never dawns of the 'queens' of England that people simply don't like her policies.

No, it's because we are a bunch of misogynistic hicks.  I love being called names by a guy whose compass doesn't even point North.

(Gram Parsons/Chris Hillman)

She’s a devil in disguise — you can see it in her eyes
She’s tellin’ dirty lies — she’s a devil in disguise — in disguise

Now a woman like that, all she does is hate you
She doesn’t know what makes a man a man
She’ll talk about the time that she’s been with you
She’ll speak your name to everyone she can

She’s a devil in disguise — you can see it in her eyes
She’s tellin’ dirty lies — she’s a devil in disguise — in disguise

Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealousy and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She’s just the kind that you can do without

She’s a devil in disguise — you can see it in her eyes
She’s tellin’ dirty lies — she’s a devil in disguise — in disguise

Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It’s alright to call her but I’ll bet you
The moon is full and you’re just wasting time

She’s a devil in disguise — you can see it in her eyes
She’s tellin’ dirty lies — she’s a devil in disguise — in disguise
In disguise [in disguise] in disguise [in disguise]

Fox & Friends showed a clip of this pervert telling all of those not voting for Hillary to “go to hell.”
Yeah...that’s really going to unify the party after Denver.
Having this has-been spewing such vitriol shows a terrible lack of judgment on Hildabeast’s part. She doesn’t know it, but it’s over for her.

Looks like we’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. If Hillary wins, we’re sexist. If Obama wins, we’re racist.

Great musician; one screwed up human being.

So true!

That Elton John, every time she opens her mouth it gives me shivers.

That girl just can't keep her mouth shut!

Where was the barf alert?

“John, a knighted British subject....”

Methinks that Sir John hath been “dubbed” by more than one Queen. (Wink wink, nudge nudge.)
