Isn’t Ann Coulter good buds with Bill Maher...or am I making that up?
I’m sure Elton sees it as a case of “hate the conservatism, love the conservative”.
“The roses in the window box are tilted to one side...”
I’m pleased about this story. Especially in light of Mccartney’s faux pas..
It speaks well for Elton, that he’s not bound by the lockstep ideology of most in his community.
Hmmm, perhaps the “flaming tiny dancer” is hitting on Rush?
If this doesn’t show that two political polar opposites can can get along, I don’t know what would. We have the king of right wing talk radio as a buddy of one of the most famous left wing, flamboyantly gay performers in history. If these two can get along, surely each of us can have productive relationships with liberal friends and family members.
Oh! How gay.
Maybe some day Rush can sing at Elton John’s wedding.
I know a number of people I disagree with on issues. We keep away from those or else I smile, nod, and make sure I have ear plugs handy. If you only have friends who see the world exactly as you do, it becomes a boring place. Best wishes to Rush!
I think you are about to start seeing many strange bedfellows. This Obama thing has driven some libs out of their tree although they are scared to say it...
Jesse Helms and Bono were good buddies,too.
Life is funny sometimes.
OMG! Elton John checked up on Rch after his heart attack at the hotel? That’s class and dignity! GOOD ON YOU JOHN
Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are buddies too
Carville and Mary.
Elton John’s intolerance of Christianity
“On November 12, Elton John said that he wants to see an organized effort to suppress institutionalized faith. “From my point of view, I would ban religion completely,” he said. The superstar said that even though there are some wonderful things about it...the reality is that organized religion doesn’t seem to work. “It turns people into hateful lemmings and it’s not really compassionate,” he said. “I think religion has always tried to turn hatred toward gay people. Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays.”
Well, see, there was this public restroom in the pharmacy, see...
Most of my friends and family are liberals; sometimes, we just have to avoid talking about politics. One co-worker that I’m pretty close to was also a big 0bama fan which made for some interesting problems trying to work together in fall ‘08.
Earlier this year, she blurts out, “I don’t like 0bama anymore.” And before I even can ask why, she says, “Don’t say it!! Just don’t say anything!!!”
Elton and Bernie Taupin are geniuses. Elton John, IMHO, is as good a person as you are going to find. Generous and compassionate, and actually willing to take you at face value until he finds out you’re an idiot.
I’m not surprised in the least that he and Rush hit it off. I’m quite sure Rush had to promise Elton that he wouldn’t sing at his wedding, should there ever be one.
He did a duet with Lady Gaga. Went the entire nine yards, with costume and greasepaint. Did not have to. Had to be among the top five moments of that girls life.
