Why are people so damned surprised? [View All]

Elton John plays for Limbaugh's wedding, and people are shocked. Carville attends said nuptials, and people are pissed.

Why?

These are the elites people, whose ties that bind, money and power, mean more than mere politics. Much like the collegial atmosphere that permeates D.C., there is a similar sort of relationship among the elites. If you have money and/or power it really doesn't matter what your politics are, you're in the club, you're a member, and you will be treated with respect.

That is why John played, and Carville attended, they're now part of the club. Sure, John might blast Limbaugh at a later date, as Limbaugh might blast him, but really, it's all part of a game for these people. Besides, these people have more important ties that bind them, again money and power, than political views that divide them.

Now one thing that I have noticed is that the one divide that still means something in the world of wealth and power, namely old wealth vs. new wealth, wasn't crossed at Limbaugh's wedding, at least not that I know of. All those who attended were first generation money, as opposed to old money, folks like the Carnegies, Harriman's etc.

So please, stop acting so surprised and outraged. This was a get together of the elite, where only money and power matters, not politics.

And that little fact is one of the reasons this country is going to hell.
