Calling West a Jackass makes me respect the president even more....

[WCGreen]

Come on, the guy is a jackass and deserves to be called out.

My hat is doffed to President Obama for telling it like it is...

[bluestateguy]

1. Kanye has managed to make enemies with two presidents in a row

nt

[WCGreen]

3. He's a bi-partisan jack ass....

[tridim]

5. Extrapolating "enemies" from the word "jackass" is a bit of a stretch

That statement is going to do wonders for West's ego problem. It's like free therapy.

[Captain Hilts]

2. Yes. He needs to throw that word around more. nt

[ShortnFiery]

4. This is a non story ... story. eom

[Soylent Brice]

10. BINGO

why the fuck do people get so easily distracted??

[WCGreen]

13. If you take the time to look at all my other posts over the last 6 years, you will see that I

am about 75% deadly serious, 10% righteously indignant and about 15% frivolous but pointed...

[monmouth]

6. Heh, if West were a white guy it would be a different story...LOL...n/t

[roguevalley]

15. there is something about Kanye, his eyes and face, that makes me

want to hug him. He is such a babyfaced youngster, I feel maternal everytime I see him. I wish he would get a clue.

7. Methinks this is a "Sister Souljah" moment for Obama. . .

but then again, what do I know?

:shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Yup, West is a jackass...

But where's the political clout in that?

I'd respect him even more if he continued what he started in that speech the other night...

Calling out certain Republicans for the liars they are.

[Soylent Brice]

9. yeah, now he should call Wilson, Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Cheney, Bush,

Michael Steele, Palin, McCain, and every other RWer jackasses.

i mean, shit, they've all called him worse.

:shrug:

c'mon. seriously.

11. Amen. And Kelly Clarkson's "letter to Kanye" was right on the money.

Kelly's letter:

Dear Kanye,

What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like sh**. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh**ty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you… which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her… so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole… I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.

On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

Taylor Swift, you outsell him … that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

KC :)

12. Audio of Obama calling a jackass a jackass.

Shame on ABC News for leaking off-the-record remarks though.

[Renew Deal]

14. First they apologize for the leak, then they release the tape

:wtf:

[Phx_Dem]

16. Yeah, pretty assholish of them. Kayne may be a jackass, but Moran is a dick.
