A leader of the most powerful nation on earth is bothered by a moron who removed his teeth and replaced them with stones. It’s absurd.
Next week, President Bush’s new book, “Decision Points,” is released on the shelves. While there’s much fanfare about it, strangely, the biggest item now making press reports is that Bush writes (and told NBC “Today Show’s” Matt Lauer) that he was hurt when Marxist rapper Kanye West said on the 2005 live Hurricane Katrina aid Telethon, “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.” Bush calls it one of the “most disgusting moments” and the “all time low” of his Presidency.
Bush Lowers Himself to KKK-Kanye Krazy Klass
Whatta mistake. Rookie move. Why give a rapper’s inappropriate, false insult so much cachet? West is a Muslim and the son of a Black Panther. He’s a vile person who revealed the real racist–himself–when he interrupted an MTV award acceptance speech by Taylor Swift, telling her a Black artist (Beyonce) really deserved the award.
It’s bad enough that West is embraced and admired by so much of America’s youth. But he’s just a fad. Bush was a two-term leader of the free world. Why would a President elevate this inconsequential gnat, West, to such a position of importance? West, when he died, would be a mere speck in the dustbin of history. By noting this in his Presidential memoir, Bush elevated this idiot to historical significance, about whom future Americans–especially Presidential scholars–will read about. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Almost as dumb as West’s new, um, “dentistry.” He replaced his lower teeth with diamonds, or, at least that’s what he told Ellen DeGeneres on her daytime talk show. Tell me this is a joke. That someone got punked. From the November 8th issue of Us Magazine:
Yup, this is the guy President Bush let get under his skin, a guy who willingly replaces his teeth with rocks. A recent former President gives cred to a complete dumbass. Hellooooo . . . ? We all know that Hurricane Katrina was an act of G-d. Bush didn’t make it happen. Yes, some of his disaster team, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff and others, were incompetent. But this had nothing to do with racism or Bush not caring about Black people. It was absurd. So, why give it credibility or any credence at all? You’re a former President and you let a guy who deliberately removes his teeth get to you? PUH-LEEZE.
While I don’t think Bush was a great President because he failed on immigration and the Islamic threat and did nothing but security theater in response to Islamic terrorism, there’s no denying that, as President, George W. Bush always acted with class and dignity. He was a gracious, class act and always did it best to be above it all. Now, he’s lowering himself to mention this complete scumbag? It disappoints me.
Sadly, President Bush got owned here. He should have ignored West, but now he’s elevated him to American history. Dumb.
The low point of President Bush’s presidency was when 3,000 Americans were murdered in cold blood. Or when American men continued to give their lives so that Iranian-backed Shi’ites could take over Iraq. Not when a pop culture dirtbag said something stupid.
