Elton John Sings at Rush Limbaugh’s Wedding

No, the above headline is not a gag story from “The Onion.”

Not only did Rush Limbaugh get married this past weekend in a semi-secret ceremony, the reception entertainment was provided by the ideologically challenged British rocker Elton John.

Sir Elton is no devoted dittohead, but he was paid a million bucks for the performance.

Hopefully, Rush and Elton will influence each other for the better. John could use some of that patented conservative soul that Rush exudes. And Rush could use a pair of oversized sunglasses.

Rush married longtime girlfriend Kathryn Rogers at The Breakers. Karl Rove, Rudy Giuliani and Sean Hannity were among the gathering of friends and relatives.

In reporting on the story, the mainstream media have been their usual snarky selves. Rush’s previous marriages have saturated the coverage, and so, too, have predictions of a dire future for the newlyweds.

What is hardly ever mentioned in the press, though, is that before Rush was let go from his gig back in the 1970s as a Pittsburgh radio station DJ, he was reportedly told by management that he would never make it as an on-air talent and should consider going into sales.

He proved prognosticators laughably wrong then and will no doubt prove the elites seriously wrong again.

Congrats and best wishes to Rush and Kathryn!

Something undeserving of celebration is the planned biopic on Rush by Hollywood screenwriter and producer James Sclafani.

The writer’s model for the film is Oliver Stone’s celluloid hit piece on George Bush called “W.”

The only plausible reasoning for Sclafani to be using “W” as his template has to be ideological.

“W” was an uneven movie with a mediocre script. On top of that, the thing was unimpressive at the box-office.

According to Sclafani, the docudrama will include the usual attack points on Rush’s life, i.e., issues of military service, prescription drugs, and the like, stale material that would draw yawns from all but the most die-hard anti-dittoheads.

Unfortunately, this type of agenda driven movie is similar to a lot of the flicks that get green-lighted in Hollywood these days.  

Sclafani had optioned an authorized biography, “The Rush Limbaugh Story: Talent on Loan from God,” written by Paul Colford, who runs the media relations division of the Associated Press, a place not exactly known for having lots of Limbaugh fans.

Sclafani’s script is making the Hollywood rounds in the financing circles.

Look forward to the film bombing soon at a theater near you.
