Money Talks & You Know What Sings


"Elton John performs at Rush Limbaugh's wedding

Talk about an odd couple: conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh and outspoken gay civil-union advocate Elton John.
But, according to a News Corporation (which owns Fox News) wire report, the Rocket Man, 63, serenaded the 400 guests into the wee hours Saturday night to celebrate the marriage of Limbaugh, 59, to Kathryn Rogers, 33, in the Ponce de Leon ballroom of Florida's fabled Breakers hotel in Palm Beach. Sir Elton's fee: $1 million, the report notes"

Sheesh, does this surprise anyone? I mean, are we talking about someone who has shown class, or integrity in public before? Once again, just cause somebody is talented doesn’t make them decent.

There’s a story I was told though I can’t substantiate at this moment, about a famous quote by Winston Churchill. He was supposedly talking to a lady about ethics and standards; he posed the question, “Would you sleep with me for one million pounds?” To make her point, she said she would. He then offered her a $20 pound note for the same favor and when she, insulted, asked, “what do you think I am. He responded, “Madam, we've established what you are; now we are bickering over the price”.

How much green would make you dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

The biggest shocker is that Limbaugh would have Elton John perform. I’ll bet the newly wedded wife had a lot to do with that booking.
