Kanye West is a Can't

sons you and your cuckold conspiracy theories

I finally agree with Obama on something:

President Obama Calls Kanye West a “Jackass”


Did President Obama call Kanye West a “jackass”? It would appear that he certainly did, when asked about Sunday night’s incident at MTV’s Video Music Awards in an off-the-record interview.

The interview was apparently conducted by CNBC, but the revealing tweet came from ABC’s Terry Moran, and read “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a “jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”

The tweet was quickly deleted, but much like Google (Google), which caches web pages, Twitter (Twitter) search does not immediately remove deleted tweets, so Moran’s remark is still visible.


ABC has since apologized for the incident in a statement obtained by Politico, but the story could turn into an important one when it comes to Twittering White House reporters. While as far as off-the-record Presidential comments go this one is rather insignificant, the leak sets a very bad precedent. Expect to hear more about this incident in coming days.

Kanye West is just a loser who has to have attention on himself, and try to pawn some of it off on Beyonce, who i gained a lot of respect for. Taylor Swift is great singer, and great song writer, and to interrupt her during her first MTV award thats usually reserved for all the bad rap is pathetic.

Guess I'll be talking to you on the chat rooms here pretty soon.

Taylor? Is that you? I WANT YOU

something thats off the record being reported? that dude aint getting interviews if this blows up

Taylor Swift is cute but she needs to eat some food. She's too thin. I bet Jay Leno loved it because a lot of people may have tuned into his new show just to see what Kanye had to say about what he did last night at the VMAs.

If we're gonna be Shallow Hal on her then of course she could add about 20 pounds, and there's no doubt Leno loved it.

Kanye ed up and made a victim of a pretty white girl. Nothing pisses off Americans faster than a victimized pretty white girl. If he had done that to Lil' Kim there would be some pissed off people but half the people here would be like "so what?" or "that was funny".

I am a huge fan of his music. I hate her music. What he did was a total display of baggery that few can top. To me anyways, it had more to do with how young and happy she was in her moment, and having it taken away by someone with no tact or regard for anyone not named Kanye. Seeing it really makes me want to punch him in the face. It's one of those ups where he deserves to be treated like by everyone, thats what you ask for when you act like a piece of .

Pretty sure tha majority of the posters here aren't going to bat for the quality of the music this girl puts out, but rather the pathetically immature and asshole-ish manner in which Kanye confronted her.

The merit of these awards isn't being debated, so stop arguing it.

I posit that the merit of the award is, indeed, an important part of the debate. Folks want to say it was Taylor's special time during a special night of awards, but she did not do anything to deserve any kind of special time or special award. It wasn't a special time nor did she do anything special to be there, so she didn't need to look all sad. Her sad look came from a feeling of en lement because she thought it was her "achievement" when she really didn't do anything worth having the floor to speak.

Kanye, like Rep. Joe Wilson, channeled many Americans when he basically shouted "you lie" to the MTV executives that arranged for Taylor Swift to win what amounts to a crossover award. MTV is all about like this, people love to see like this, and when someone calls bull those people have to act angry. Taylor is a rich . Kanye is a rich asshole. The world has not changed, nor will it, other than Taylor might actually want to make music that's worth a damn that she can be respected for. Kanye doesn't have that problem.

They gave out a ing award for "Best Vid that SHOULD've Won an Award". It's obvious that this show is a farce. So that being said, what makes any of the OTHER winners more accepting of their illegitimate accomplishment than Taylor? It's all . Let her have her moment, regardless of how manufactured it is.

It's obvious that you don't appreciate her music. , I don't like it either. That doesn't negate the fact that many do, and she deserves at least PARTIAL credit for it.

Furthermore, while Kanye has given NUMEROUS examples as to why he should be labeled an "asshole", I am currently unaware of anything that warrants calling Taylor a " "...other than the fact that you aren't "feelin" her.

You can go ahead and stop right there if your argument is based around her having an unwarranted sense of en lement. YOU may not have thought she did anything special, but apparently the majority/poppular plurality of voters felt differently. What did Kanye do to warrant bum-rushing a stage during an acceptance speech of an award he was neither nominated nor even the right sex for. If you steal the stage, the mic, and the moment from someone to say they don't deserve it, its a POS move, whether its a ing Oscar, VMA, or a perfect attendance award in elementary school. Cir stance doesn't make him less of an ass, or less at fault.

Yeah because lil kim would have acted with class huh? If that situation had happened it would have just been a interrupting a criminal. Now back to reality, the still interrupted the event but this time to a 19 yr old with no criminal history.

and btw, I still would have thought kanye was a even if it were lil kim

Of course it was a total display of baggery. The pretty white girl was victimized. Can you imagine if she had cried? Man, the horror. I can't imagine the ordeal that poor white girl went through.

Nobody is saying she makes respectable music or doesn't He was disrespectful, and thats putting it lightly. This man deserves no respect for his actions, and that defines a man more than his music.

Man, the Admiral makes Kanye look like a piece of in the Honorable Man department.

I never said Kanye wasn't a or that it was ok. I was commenting on the level of your reaction. I think its insane the you people get riled up over and the you ignore. The VMA's are incredibly serious business and I can't even imagine the impact this is going to have on our country.

[Spursfan092120]

I always thought she was sexy

Oh, I didn't know this was serious thread. My bad.

This is "THE CLUB" forum stick!!! As I was to understand this is where you come to discuss pop culture and random . If you want to discuss the most serious matters possible in the world go to the political forum.

It was on the front page of CNN.com stick. Its all you asshats can talk about. Are you actually trying to say that more people care about real issues than this? Thats laughable.

If people are going to take Kanye's actions to heart enough to call him an asshole and say he deserves no respect at all, then Taylor is a for pretending to be sad. I think that's what I didn't like the most, that she took it personally when she wasn't even the person that slaved over creating that music video. Kanye even said on Jay Leno that he lashed out, admittedly wrong, but because it was not his vision of what awards should be about. Year after year, he's gotten pissed off at MTV but they keep bringing him back and he keeps accepting invites. For her own part, Taylor should have just smiled because at the end of the day she still has a fantastic future ahead of her and a lot of money, what use is that stage to frown and act offended? Let Kanye realize he did wrong, and she was the stronger person for smiling through it. Outrageous stuff happens in far more serious cir stances, but it was just another night in the unpredictable music world and she had a night of celebrating ahead of her despite Kanye's comments.

And, I called both of them dirty words to be fair.
