Video: Kanye West’s place in jackass hall of fame now secure
Hot Air ^ | SEPTEMBER 13, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

It’s been secure for years, actually, and not just because of the infamous “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” crack. This isn’t the first time he’s acted like a royal A-hole at an awards show; in fact, it’s not even the first time he’s rushed the stage during an acceptance speech to protest the winner. That happened a few years ago at the MTV Europe Awards. Even so, I salute him: In this season of political turmoil, Americans are finally united in hatred of his pure, preening douchebaggery. No small accomplishment.

Taylor Swift, who’s all of 19 years old, evidently was spotted “crying hysterically” backstage afterwards, although she managed to pull it together in time to reappear during Beyonce’s moment of graciousness at the end of the show. The boss has video of that. Exit quotation from Karl, imagining an Obama-orchestrated West/Swift beer summit: “Let me be clear: I didn’t watch the VMAs, so I don’t have all the facts. But Taylor Swift acted stupidly.”

I hate sounding like this

Well then, don't. Blaming all black people for Kanye West's boorishness is inane. And if all black people are to be blamed for Kanye West's lack of class, then surely all black people deserve to share the credit for Beyonce Knowles' class in bringing Taylor Swift up during her spot and making sure she got her moment.

Kanye West is un trou du cul. There's no other word.

He is completely talentless and quite literally cannot sing. He is unkind and boorish.

Kanye West is an asshole. The only question I have is, why were there no “men” in the audience or staff, because someone needed to confront this guy on stage, tell him to apologize to Taylor Swift right then and there, and then told to get the f*ck off the stage...

What a contrast between this creep and the young lady on stage:

While she was only able to get a few words out, Taylor Swift appeared very gracious and appreciative of this award. This West thug is a...well, a thug!

What a very sad commentary!

For what it’s worth, congratulations Ms. Swift. Don’t let this thug take away from the recognition you recieved. Please don’t lose your gracious attitude...it will take far in life!

Where is Kanye West from? Born in Atlanta and raised in CHICAGO. LOL! Chicago has sure produced its share of TURDS.

He is of the ‘George Bush don’t care about black people’ fame during Katrina. When he and Mike Myers were doing requests during a telethon-type program to raise money for the hurricane victims.

I did not remember the ‘Gay Fish’ song as having so many verses. I’ll have to go and watch that episode again.
