Sir Elton John and Hillary Clinton

eltonhillary.jpgElton John performed last night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City as part of 2.5 million dollar fund raising event for Hillary. Between songs midway through the event Elton took a moment to say “…I never cease to be amazed at the misogynistic attitude of some people in this country. And I say to hell with them… I love you, Hillary. I’ll be there for you.”  

How predictable that sooner or later someone would allege that Hillary is losing because of gender or more precisely, chauvinism. I am disappointed that it was Elton John. I have enjoyed his music since the release of “Yellow Brick Road” in 1972. But I am not surprised that this kind of simple minded comment would come from an entertainer.

Hillary is losing because many American voters see her for the self serving, egotistical, self ritgheous, well heeled politician that she and her husband have embodied. They both believe that they are entitled to the Whitehouse. They believe it is their turn again, as if the Presidency is right of membership for exclusive club members. As if that wasn’t reason enough to exclude her from consideration, examine her record as First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of America and Senator. I have previously reported on the Clintons legacy 3/3/08, 1/27/08  and how they will be viewed by history.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
