The issue is that the presidential freedom award is a joke? That’s what we are taking about...

Is it? Maybe if you only judge people by their immediate profession. Is the Sir Elton John's knighthood any less?

Yes, in my opinion it is a joke. We already saw what it’s supposed to be given for; it’s nowhere near that now. It’s the good conduct Medal of presidential awards.

As for Sir Elton John- the only thing I care less about than the presidential freedom medal is a supposed descendant of a deity granting someone a fake title.

I don't know having the title of Sir would be pretty cool, sort of like Dr. or PhD.
