With all the speculation about why Elton John performed at Rush Limbaugh‘s wedding Saturday night, it was interesting to come across Mediaite reporting obervations from an actual guest, Megyn Kelly of Fox News.

‘Tolerance and respect were on display at the wedding,’ Kelly said, pointing out that the hosts on ‘The View’ didn’t behave the same way Monday morning when they kaffeeklatsched about John’s decision.

Among other things, ‘The View’ gals made the point that John is married, which in fact he is not, as the Ministry learned a bit too late. Others who’ve not listened to Limbaugh may have also learned a bit too late that the guy’s never pretended to be a member of the Christian right.

‘This is a problem that we’re experiencing through society right now, is people only want to be with ‘like,’ ‘ Elisabeth Hasselbeck said. ‘ ‘OK, so, you think like me, you hang with me; you don’t think like me, you don’t hang with me’ -- that’s an issue -- why is that such a bad thing?’

Joy Behar was quick to explain to Hasselbeck that the only reason John performed for Limbaugh, and for $1 million, was because the singer, like so many others she notices anymore, is greedy.

Wedding-guest Kelly’s observations: ‘Elton John actually had nothing but nice things to say about Rush Limbaugh and the happy couple, and said he’s all about tearing down walls and building bridges.’ He even invited the newlyweds to join him and David Furnish at their home, she said.

Irony: Limbaugh, who’s had cochlear implants since 2001, has said he can’t really ‘hear’ any music he didn’t experience before he became deaf. One can hope Elton played some of those classics, out of respect for the groom.
