Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" for his interruption at the VMAs.

It is the top story at Fox News right now. 

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/15/obama-calls-kanye-west-jackass/

QuotePresident Barack Obama called hip-hop musician Kanye West a "jackass" on Monday in an off-the-record comment during an interview with CNBC, an ABC News anchor reported on Twitter.

Obama was apparently weighing in on an interruption that occurred the night before during the MTV Video Music Awards where West grabbed the microphone from teen country singer Taylor Swift during her award acceptance speech to announce his belief that Beyonce had a better music video.

"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran wrote Monday evening to his more than 1 million followers.

The tweet forced the network to issue an apology after the Internet quickly became abuzz over the stunning remark published on the microblogging site.

"Off the record" means OFF THE RECORD, DICK.







On the other hand, Kanye is a Jackass, so there you go.

The interesting part of this story, is that it will put the Fox News gang in a weird position, of kinda sorta defending Kanye "George Bush hates black people" West.  Because I will be utterly shocked if this isn't the lead story for Beck and Hannity.

Incidentally, I need to WOMP that image of Kanye and Mike Meyers, with Mike saying, "Kanye West hates white people."

Exactly.  So, unlike Mr. Wilson, not only did he not make the remark in a public venue.  He was also correct.  Oh, but of course our President's are supposed to be squeaky clean and speak properly 100% of the time.  

No, please!!! Not the personality!!!  Not the personality!!!!!

The ability to call things the way they are sounds like it should be a positive attribute of a president. Unless I'm being totally naive here...

I'm sorry, were you looking for a real journalist?  I'm afraid the last one died a few weeks ago.

It's more the absolutely blantant admission that they were quoting the president after admitting that their own rules say that you shouldn't be quoting the president off the record.

Why is everything circling the drain?  Why is there no actual journalism putting some form of check on the government?

Because of shit like what I just quoted.  That's why.

It's kind of a fun bit to listen to: http://www.tmz.com/2009/09/15/obama-calls-kanye-a-jackass/

You got to hand it to The Smiler, he's a charismatic son of a bitch even on audio.
