We are in a sorry state of affairs when both our current President AND his predecessor are (independently) engaging in a public dialog about KANYE WEST.
DUDES, you are/were the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD and Kanye is a latently homosexual pop culture cry baby who ruins people’s days and writes the occasionally good/crazy/narcissistic song or BLOG. It diminishes the dignity of your office to even acknowlege that joker. George W. Bush is a fucking idiot but I would have expected more from Obama. I get that he is trying to be young and hip, and it was pretty cool that he called Kanye a JACKASS for wrecking Taylor Swifts grammy award moment, but still, Barack, keep your public persona above the fray. Fix some economy and world affairs shit and leave the pop culture digs to Chelsea Handler.
So I now realize that the Obama/Kanye comment was over a year ago, but the cringe-worthy memory of it came RUSHING back this week when news hit that, according to his new book (ROLL THOSE EYES), George W. Bush’s low point as President was when Kanye said Bush didnt care about black people. Really? That was the low point? Not hiding behind a children’s book down in Florida while the World Trade Center burned to the ground you fucking pussy? Not lying to the country and the world about why we were going to War with Iraq? I know I am lazy to stop at the 2 easiest examples but you know there are way way way more low points than Kanye’s SECOND most famous outburst. Too bad I dont watch Oprah, I bet that Bush interview was an IMPRESSIVE load of horse shit.
This is also a great example of perspective. You see, George W Bush’s “Low Point” is actually the high point of Mike Meyers career, in my opinion. This is certainly my fave Mike Meyers performance. You really should re-watch it if you havent seen it in a while. Train wreck tv at its finest. Formula for awesomeness = LOOSE CANNON + NATIONAL DISASTER +LIVE TV

thank you thank you thank you Bitch for encouraging me to rewatch this. at the time, everyone was too caught up in Kanye to appreciate Mike Myers in this video. priceless.
exactly. at the time there were bigger distractions. try to imagine what is going through his mind while kanye is launching his first rant, and then the realization that somehow they are still expecting mike to stick to the script and THEN the “george bush…” bomb!! it almost makes me feel something for mike m. almost.
i just watched again. mike’s under-eye scratch is clearly a coded cry for help.
And can we talk about Kanye on the Today show this week? His dumbass teeth are distracting. He’s a total douche. Or is he a tool in hip guy clothing? My favorite part was when he was saying that he needed to think about what he was going to say. Seriously Kanye, they didn’t just pull you off the street. You had plenty of time to think about what you were going to say. None of the questions posed should have been a surprise. While I think Kanye has put out some great music, I fear I have to boycott any future releases as I try not to support morons. Oh goodness, if I put myself on that soapbox, what can I listen to?
