Obama calls Kayne West a “jackass,” says nothing about ACORN scandal
Terry Moran, a reporter for ABC News, upset the White House last night when he tweeted: “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a “jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”
Terry Moran, a reporter for ABC News, upset the White House last night when he tweeted:
“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”
The tweet was soon removed, but not before it spread throughout the Twitosphere.
Did President Obama really say it? If so, why was it removed from Moran’s Twitter page? Here’s how ABC later explained it:
In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.
So there’s no question that Obama said it. He just doesn’t want anyone to know he said it, because, appartnely, it’s not Presidential to call someone a jackass.
This undoubtedly explains the President’s complete silence on the ACORN scandal. It’s just wouldn’t be Presidential to call an organization “a bunch of corrupt jerks who are ripping off the American taxpayers and undermining democracy.”

Kanye West, who said, “Bush doesn’t care about black people,” doesn’t care about white people
The same idiot rapper who shocked America by announcing “Bush doesn’t care about black people” during a nationally-televised Hurricane Katrina charity event back in 2005, topped his long list of idiotic comments during the MTV Music Video Awards.
Kanye West made a fool of himself on national television last night. It’s getting to be a habit.
The same idiot rapper who shocked America by announcing “Bush doesn’t care about black people” during a nationally-televised Hurricane Katrina charity event back in 2005, topped his long list of idiotic comments during the MTV Music Video Awards.
Here’s what happened: Taylor Swift was graciously accepting the award for Best Female Video. She’d won the award over Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and a couple other flavor-of-the-month performers whose names no one will remember a year from now.
As Taylor was thanking MTV, West ran on stage, took the microphone from Swift, and announced that Beyonce had been robbed.
“Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he said about her “Single Ladies” video.
Swift, as you can imagine, was shocked. She stood silently, trophy in hand while West ranted. Cameras cut to the audience, where Beyonce looked equally stunned. MTV quickly cut to a commercial break.
Can we make a fool of ourselves on national television? Yes, we Kanye.
