kanye west

Kanye West is a rapper. He says George Bush doesn't care about black people. I understand emotions are running high with this Hurrican Katrina tragedy in New Orleans...but come on. The poor guy looks like he really cares, but just isn't very well-informed. All that misguided passion; it's good to see, but I feel sort of sorry for him. He comes off as ignorant and, well, dumb.

Below is a link to the clip - Kanye is one of the many celebrities helping host this telethon. He's paired up with Mike Myers - and it's pretty funny to watch Myers' reaction when Kanye goes off script into this tirade against Bush and the press and whatnot. He gets all stiff and tries to stay professional, but you can tell he's surprised. So at least there's some comedy in there too.
