    In reply to Taylor Swift Was "Rattled" By Kanye At VMAs (Updated)
    I know that what he did was wrong and there is nothing that can justify what he did, but watching the Jay Leno interview made me realize that, when it comes down to it, this is all because Kanye just really misses his mom.

    I mean that in all sincerity. I think what he did was kinda like the way people "act out" when they need help. It is never really a rational act or anything and many times its fueled by alcohol - which, according to everyone, Kanye had a bit too much of that night.

    When Jay asks him what his mom would think I almost thought hulu was 'rebuffering' ... he took that long to respond. His body language and general demeanor were of someone very uncomfortable with talking about what had happened and then, when his mom is brought up, it got even worse. It got sad.

    I know Kanye is an asshole, and Taylor Swift did not deserve that and I'm not trying to cover for him, but I think he's really struggling with losing his mother.

    My favorite LBJ quote is "The OAS couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel."

    Which is far worse than calling Kanye a jackass.

    You have to go pretty far off the rails for Barack Obama to flat out call you a jackass, off the record or on.

    And yeah,just another great reason to heart our president who watches TV, reads the papers and lives in the real world.

    Am I the only one actually disturbed by President Obama’s comments on Kanye West leaking out? That shows a major lack of respect on whoever was recording it & presumably sold it to TMZ.

    Off the record means exactly that. No Twiiter or Facebook updates. Twitter has turn snitching into an all time high.

    ………and please let this Kanye/Taylor thing die. He apologized, she accepted, move on.

    I hope people don't overreact about this. Remember Bush/Cheney and the "major league asshole" comment?

    And really, Kanye is a jackass. Can we please get over it now? The President might as well have said "the sun is f***ing hot" and manure "smells like sh*t"

    Guys, seriously. This is NOTHING compared to what Lyndon Johnson used to say, and is QUOTED saying. He was more imaginatively scatological and offensive than you can imagine. I wonder why the media likes to make a big deal of it when Obama says something non-presidential...hmmm.

    @MeganGlass 就是一个古代的三明治: Exactly. Johnson was fond of peppering his speech with (among MANY other words): "jackass," "balls," and "bitch." These are things that were quoted by the press and that the American people would have read.

    Dear media: STFU.

    i really wish his comment hadnt leaked. and i really really wish the audio bit hadnt leaked. i heart the president but i dont think its particularly presidential of him to be calling folk jackasses (i know he was off the record so its ok by me, i just wish itd stayed out of the media!). its just gonna give crazy folk more stuff to bitch at him for.
    and, if he was gonna comment on pop culture events, i wish hed made a comment about chris brown instead. HE deserves a presidential put down.
