The rapper Kanye West disrupted the MTV video acceptance speech of country siren Taylor Swift with an impromptu shout-out to Beyonce. Glass in hand Kanye West basically said that Beyonce’s video deserved the win. The singer looked embarrassed and surprised by the outburst. The public’s reaction was harsh and the soon the Kanye West – Taylor Swift youtube was # 1 on the Internet.
Lost in the glitterati clamor was Osama Bin Laden’s radio address to the world on the 8th anniversary of 9/11. Not one news service carried the mastermind’s message. Only one thing worst than a dead martyr is a neglected Islamic terrorist.
Obama didn’t comment on Osama, but the president did call Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for interrupting the awards ceremony. This remark was twittered across the world, maybe even to the al-Quada leader.
“At least I’m not a jackass.” He could have said to his followers gathered in their secret hide-out. 8 years and still no sign of OBL. Now that makes the CIA look like jackasses, but no one is saying that about the world’s most expensive intelligence agency. Not if they know what’s good for them.
