Like I told my daughter, Caison, on election night--I'll help the president when he does something right. I echo his "off record" comment--Kanye West is a Jack-Ass. His disrepecting of Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at the VMAs was nothing short of rude and may even be racist. But we shouldn't be surprised that someone the caliber of West would pull such a stunt. It would be interesting though to see how he would have reacted if Toby Keith would have done the same thing to him or another black entertainer. Even better, I would love to see him try to take the microphone from Toby--I wonder if Toby would have "put a boot in his [jack]-ass" since, like one of Toby's songs says, "it's the American way."
Just as much as Kanye showed he was a Jack-Ass, Beyonce showed she had class. She offered Taylor the remainder of her own acceptance time later in the show. Both of these young ladies show how celebrities should behave. Mr. West just showed his jack-ass.
