Elton John/Rush Limbaugh - BFFs

"He sends me the loveliest e-mails," said John. "What I get from Rush privately and what I get from Rush publicly are two different things. I'm just trying to break him down."

Yes. Rush Limbaugh IS a hypocritical bastard, earning Millions espousing beliefs he finds repugnant. No news there.

Rush Limbaugh never voted for Ronald Reagan. I wish he'd talk about that more on his show.

It reminds me of the "constructive engagement" debates surrounding divestment from S. Africa on my university campus in the 1980s. Remain engaged (invested) and support a purely evil government, but be in a position to have a voice and work to improve things or express your contempt and try to cripple a purely evil government by divesting entirely.

I was always a proponent of divestment--I haven't got the patience or the stomach to engage in a civil dialogue with people whose stated beliefs are so utterly repellent to me.

But my contempt for Rush Limbaugh is of no matter to the man. Assuming this news article isn't a joke piece from 'The Onion' then maybe Elton is a more patient and thoughtful man than I and can do some good.

First off, I never knew he was once called Jeff Christie. But the thing I just read when I looked that up was that off-mic he would "share his conservative beliefs" with the other people at his station.

It's a total Stephen King Christ-symbol kind of character name.

Sort of "Do as I bray, not as I do."

And pro-drugs from the housekeeping staff.

I mean, Glenn Beck used to do morning and afternoon radio shows in Tampa. And politics were rarely ever mentioned. He talked about stuff like putting a hamster in a bank drive-through vacuum tube.
