Kanye West is a li'l bitch for what he did, but Beyonce' is a classy lady for bringing Taylor back up on stage for her moment to shine. Thanks for the bounce-y-back Beyonce.
@barnhouse: My constant reminder of this incredible moment in history is seeing the partially removed McCain/ Palin bumper stickers on the pick-ups in PA. I grin with pride at the thought of this man sitting in the Oval Office. Sweetness!
If Kanye should ever win an award, someone MUST go onstage, take the mic from him, and proclaim that someone else deserved to win. I nominate Will Ferrell.
@BenderingTimeV2: The first time I read that I thought you meant to say Will Ferrell deserved Kanye West's next award more than him. I hate both those people so much right now that such a suggestion makes my mind explode.
If I recall, Jiminy Cricket called Pinocchio a jackass. It's no big deal. And it was the truth, because Kanye himself has admitted he's spent too much time on Pleasure Island.
@Sandogg: Total little bitch. "How Presidential", he snarked. See, this is what our pathetic media thinks is important- utter pettiness, because issues are complicated! Better to play it like a spiteful gossip girl. (The likes of which I usually enjoy on a certain series, but not in our allegedly serious media.)
@Sandogg: I think Terry Moran looks a bit like Greg from Animal House... you know the one who was getting a hand job from Mandy Pepperidge while she was wearing gloves?
@John Eff Kennedy: Agreed. Seeing him with Bill Clinton in NYC yesterday made me realize what endless possibilities there are for a salacious Presidential scandal. There's still time....
It's why I don't watch award shows. Bad sportsmanship. Always some jerk expressing his wants at the expense of everyone else. Who cares another foulmouth is dissatisfied with the proceedings? It's why I watch tennis.
@Tremonius: Are you kidding? That's exactly WHY I watch award shows, to catch ridiculous shit like this. Is there any other reason to watch them? I could give a shit about who won what award; I can get that info online as soon as the show is over.
@OrneryBabe: Reference was to the Williams lady, who sparked off a ruckus at the US Open worse than any rapper buffoon. Now, if this West guy had threatened to stuff an [obscenity] ball down the [obscenity] throat of Taylor Swift for winning the point, I'd say it was watchable.
@Tremonius: Okay, that's what I get for drinking while posting. Because otherwise, I completely would have seen that. Now I get the meaning of the cold hard light of day. Saw-ree.
"Slow on the uptake, party of one? Your table is ready!" Meaning me, of course.
@OrneryBabe: I wonder about that caveat. "If you drink, don't drive." Doesn't that prove the more important enterprise is drinking? Never do I see it the other way around, which means anyone would sooner give up driving.
@momof3wildkids: Can't you resist, just once? Anyway Obama manages his money quite well and I bet he would do the same with yours. If what you meant is you don't want him managing your government, you should have said that.
@Rhymenocerous: It was a tongue and cheek comment only meant to illustrate that he is a cool guy but that doesn't make him a great POTUS. Only time will tell.
If GWB was considered cool, it would still make him a shitty President - wouldn't you agree? I'd still love to have a beer w/Obama and shoot the breeze with him. He is engaging, interesting and funny.
@momof3wildkids: I know. You didn''t get what I was implying either. You're not that fucking rich, sister.
And why the hell is it your money? Are you the only one who pays taxes?
Unless you are in the top 5% of earners in the country, your taxes have already gone down under Obama. Is that what your sorts' tantrums are about? Because they have no damned basis in reality.
He's the elected President. Ten million "low-information" voters all squalling about "mah money!" is a real spectacle.
@Baroness: Hate to rain on your parade, but I am in that top bracket. I happily pay my taxes to support my country and feel fortunate that I can contribute. This is a good problem to have and even a privilege, in my opinion. That is not what I am bitching about here.
I am nervous about the fiscal policy of this country. I am concerned that we may be leaving our country to the next generation in poor fiscal condition. I fully acknowledge that GWB had a lot to do with this quagmire we are in right now. I hope and pray that Obama, Geithner and Bernake know what the hell they are doing.
Your intellectual elitism is showing about the "mah money" comment. Not all people who voted for someone besides Obama are "low information voters." Just because someone has a different opinion than you do does not make them dumb. BTW, I voted for Obama and I'd still love to have a beer with the man.
@momof3wildkids: I think you could have said something funny along those lines, and I think you are sometimes funny, I just didn't think this was funny. This post was pretty apolitical and I was annoyed by the veiled and unnecessary reference to out-of-control spending or socialism or whatever you were referring to. That's all.
@Pope John Peeps II: Really Peeps? Have you looked at all the hedge fund guys out there who voted for Obama? Overwhelming that crew voted for Obama. It is only OLD money that voted against him. If you look at the wealth centers of our country (newly created wealth) -- each of the coasts -- they pretty much voted for Obama.
And to reiterate, I voted for Obama. Would have loved to have voted Republican but then McCain chose Palin.
@Rhymenocerous: I held back give my prior gaffe that was pointed out by homovegetarian. I suspect it was a joke.
As for the funny comment, I get it. I just hate the 'love only' pieces. We know that Obama is an interesting and engaging man... our country has a shit load on our plate right now and whether he is cool or not doesn't mean a damn thing. Still, I am glad he thinks Kanye is a tool.
@momof3wildkids: I hereby very politely request that in the future you differentiate between a "love only" piece about Obama as president and policy maker and a "love only" piece about an irreverent, off-the-record remark that no one was ever supposed to hear but turned out to be pretty funny. This post was in no way calling out for or enhanced by a fiscal policy jab.
@momof3wildkids: Which is funny, because the right liked Bush because they could have a beer with him, and they had no problem with him managing their money.
What is it about Bush that made you trust him with your money more?

For all intensive purposes, perhaps you meant "tongue in cheek"?
And I think he'll prove to be the best POTUS in many years even though I'd much rather he were far more liberal.
09/15/09
I am rooting for him to be the best POTUS. We need the best right now.
