Elton John will play for Rush Limbaugh

Right-wing radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh doesn't like homosexuals. He doesn't think we should get married. He doesn't want us serving openly in the military. But we can perform at his fourth wedding!

Limbaugh hired Elton John to put on a little show for the low, low price of $1 million. And Elton accepted.

The media has already turned on Elton, asking why he would perform for someone who is openly hostile to homosexuals.

"Elton would be better respected if he didn't go out of his way to directly play a role in bettering the life of a man who's working vigorously to deny equality to queer Americans," said Queerty.

E!Online opined: "Sean Hannity we'd expect, but who would have imagined Elton John would be putting in an appearance at the wedding of Rush Limbaugh?"

And Ethan August at This Gay Life asked: "Did Sir Elton John just stick a knife in my back and twist it?"

In Elton's defense, pianos ain't cheap!
