Why did Elton John come to a country that discriminates against gays and whose leader...

makes openly homophobic statements to play a concert at a Rush Limbaugh's wedding?

Hmmm. Which part is hypocritical?

3. For money

You pay him enough money, and he would probably marry a woman.

7. The part where the person complaining about homophobia...

defended a vicious anti-semite the day earlier.

There. That's where it's hypocritical.

8. He's broke.

His monthy bills for flowers was over 100,000 pounds. Each and every month. He has since economized.

What it also shows is that a rich liberal minded person, once poor, will do anything to regain his comfort level. It also shows a fat drug abuser to at least have some good taste in the creative arts.

9. Taxes - he doesn't want to pay them

Why do you think more than a few Brit entertainers have homes *anywhere* but in the UK? They don't want to have to pay into a system that provides FREE healthcare, etc.

Ironic, considering it was the very same system that allowed them to work on their careers, instead of having to find a job that offers health benefits.
