As you’ve no doubt heard, Donald Trump is having difficulty finding any performers who’d be willing to play at his inauguration last month, leading him to take to Twitter to complain about “so-called A list celebrities,” who he claims are “all wanting tix to the inauguration.”
Sir Elton John was one of the many stars who rejected an offer to perform, with a spokesperson emphatically confirming, “Elton will not be performing at Trump’s inauguration.”

For some reason, Bristol Palin has decided to enter the fray, deciding to call Sir John a “sissy” for his refusal to perform.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I don’t really want my music to be involved in anything to do with an American election campaign,” Elton John said.
I’m British. I’ve met Donald Trump, he was very nice to me, it’s nothing personal, his political views are his own, mine are very different, I’m not a Republican in a million years. Why not ask Ted f—ing Nugent? Or one of those f—ing country stars? They’ll do it for you.”
This prompted Bristol Palin to take to her blog to vent about all those “sissies” who refuse to play for the president-elect.

In a post headlined with a photograph of Sir Elton John, Palin wrote:
If Donald Trump were still just a regular old billionaire and threw a party at Trump Tower in New York City, celebrities would be lined up out the door, and the most famous artists would be pining for a chance to perform.
But because he will be inaugurated as the next Republican president in January, these same mega-celebrities, who would normally drool over an invitation to sing for the president, want no part of it.
Trump’s inauguration team sought out some of the world’s greatest musicians, but nearly all of them have refused for fear of backlash or to stand against him politically.
Isn’t it amazing how ‘not cool’ it is to be conservative in the public eye? Either Hollywood is that far off – or we have so many sissies we have in the spot light too scared to stand for what they believe in….!”
The Pinball Wizard himself, Sir Elton John, quickly shot down any chance he would ever perform for President Trump.
In his explanation to The Guardian, Elton delivered a jab at American country music, too, which is surprising considering he stole all their rhinestone outfits.”

He plays at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding but not at Trump’s inauguration? Both are extremely polarizing figures so you can’t use that argument. I’m assuming the dollar amount wasn’t to John’s liking.

Calling Elton John a sissy would be like called Bristol Palin a slutty b!tch.
But she didn’t exactly call him that: “we have so many sissies we have [sic] in the spot light [sic] too scared to stand for what they believe in….!”
So she thinks there are a lot of celebrities who in reality have Trump-like political views, but they hide it. (I think that’s what she’s trying to say, although I don’t have my Palin-to-English dictionary handy.)

Who gives a shit what she thinks or says? My wish for queerty in the new year is that y’all stop extending the voice of idiots like Bristol. Let her blog be the only place she shares her opinion.

@Baba Booey Fafa Fooey ..”I’m assuming the dollar amount wasn’t to John’s liking”.
O.M.G so true. Child if the money is right, I wouldn’t give 2 s*** what your politics is about.

Give this Palin bitch the gig instead ..she’s attained concert-level standard on the skin flute

@DDstar1me: Yes it was money – too low. Trump is president-elect and president’s can’t spend lavishly, it’s not good public image. He played for Rush Limbaugh there’s no reason why he couldn’t play for Trump other than there not enough zeros on the check.

@Heywood Jablowme: Is it fair to repeat over and over that Bristol Palin is a slutty b!tch. No I say. She is not a quitter. She let that trashy boy finish inside her without protection. The kind of girl Trump might dream about.
So no, you will never hear me say Bristol Palin is one slutty b!tch
Nor will you hear me claim how the Palin’s are a boozy crowd of morons. Because I don’t go there.

Does anyone really care about what Bristol Palin thinks about anything?
whitakerk861
Nancy French, Bristol’s ghostwriter, pens anything attributed to Bristol that employs proper sentence structure and a complete thought. Bristol typically types just a few words as she shares someone else’s blog, article, or photo. Just take a look at Bristol’s Facebook page and you’ll see she did not write the above post.

He’s been called worse by better than you Bristol. DO BETTER BABY!
tomron
Who the hell cares what Bristol Palin says? She’s a know-nothing, insignificant slut, who reaps the benefits her cheap celebrity accrues – a “celebrity status” that publications like Querty pile on ad nauseum.
NateOcean
Palin called Sir Elton a “sissy”.
Did Elton call Palin a “wanton slut” in return?
No? He’s too nice to do so, but he probably should have anyway.

Why doesn’t she just perform for Mr Trump and give one of her abstaining speeches then grunt out another baby?

@Baba Booey Fafa Fooey: John was paid $1,000,000 to play at Limbaugh’s wedding. And they share the same position on Marriage Equality. Both would rather see “civil unions” for gay folks rather than marriage (despite the fact that legally secular marriage IS civil union, but neither one of them is an intellectual giant).
But John correctly opposes Trump’s positions on a lot of other issues and clearly there is no common ground. Plus the last president had a popular mandate, Trump has none.

@He BGB: “Why doesn’t she just perform for Mr Trump and give one of her abstaining speeches then grunt out another baby?”
Does she actually have any talent? She cleaerly cannot turn a phrase, can she sing one? Though Trump might like some strip tease at his inaugurals, even he realizes that is not appropriate. I suspect her body is her only talent…getting men to impregnate her so she can write about the joys and travails of being a “good christian single mom”.
GayEGO
Bristol is as much a dufus as her mother Sarah. Maybe Tina Fey can perform as Bristol at the inauguration, that may tempt me to watch it! :>)
Brian
Bristol Palin has a point about the hypocrisy of these musical performers. If Trump weren’t President, they would be lining up to perform at his hotel or wherever.
mujerado
Bristol is a badmouthed bullying bitch.
dwes09
@Brian: Even a broken clock is right twice a day. However in this case both you and her are engaging in pure speculation. You have no idea whether these musicians would play for him or not, be it at his hotels (where he is not likely to be engaging musicians as opposed to a hotel management group) or a private party.
And since you have no idea, on what basis do you call them hypocrites?
DocHolloway
If Bristol Palin were as conservative with her uterus and on having children out of wedlock, or even divorce, I might be compelled to afford her comments some measure of consideration and respect.
However…

@Herman75: I love what you just did, which I think is officially called “apophasis.” That’s always a great rhetorical device, and, not surprisingly was a great fave of Richard Nixon. But I’m not going to talk about deceitful, scumbaggish homophobic Republicans, including the hypocritical garbage dwellers and grifters known as the Palins, you won’t hear about their asinine behavior from me.

DOESNT THIS SLUTTY WHORE BITCH HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT, LIKE HOW SHE OPENED HER LEGS AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE??? YES, YOU BET IM BITTER
Brian
Didn’t Elton John play at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding? Didn’t he? Didn’t he?
Check Rush Limbaugh’s wedding – google it if you can. I think Elton might have played there.
If I were Elton, I would keep my fat mouth shut.
Brian
Well, well, well…look what the little cat found in the corner of the room – an article about Elton John playing at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding for a reported 1 million dollars. Well, well, well:

If I were you, Elton, I would keep my dainty little mouth shut. It kind of makes your hair look worse.

@Brian: He is being hypocritical. But, I think it’s about money.

@kthcst: You can be bitter.

Is being called a “sissy” by the village tramp really something to get worked up over?
Berkleyguy
The slutty bitch who can’t keep her legs crossed dares t judge Elton John? He should be applauded for not accepting a bid to play at the inauguration of USA’s worst disaster since The Hindenburg blew up.
Berkleyguy
@Berkleyguy: Actually, I should have said the world’s worst disaster. The USA really did not play a part in The Hindenburg.

@Baba Booey Fafa Fooey: Are u saying The Donald, extremely, really extremely successful, did I say successful? Can’t afford E. John? Yet given his extremely successful business domination, it remains beyond his reach?
Jara
Boy this girl is slow.
Yes bristol, because its an inauguration, the same artists who would perform a party, wont perform.
THATS RIGHT!
Because its political.
Because he represents politics they find offensive.
You dont get that?
You explain the point, while oblivious to it.
But youre wrong, in light of recent actions, theyd refuse to play his parties, too.
JessPH
Let’s go back to that golden age when the opinions of Bristol Palin do not matter.
Rimminit
She’s too stupid to understand that Trump/Pence have both threatened to reverse marriage equality for American lgbtq people. That’s why no respectable entertainers will be performing the inauguration.
ErikO
Meh, Elton is a hypocrite since he played for Rush and gladly took his cash.
Kieran
Elton doesn’t want to get involved in politics…..unless the price is right. #RushLimbaugh.
