Kanye West ain’t too bright

So he interrupts Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV awards, being completely disrespectful to her. I’d like to thank him for that. He has created one of the most popular catch phrases/memes for the rest of us to use. I mean, just take for example some of the stuff that’s been coming up:

Pure genius.

Well, now even Obama thinks he’s a jackass. I’m not kidding, he made an off-the-record comment calling Kanye West a jackass. You gotta be pretty screwed up to have the President of the United States think you’re a jackass. And this is just a celebrity we’re talking about here. The President deals with things like terrorists, but he chooses to call Kanye West a jackass. :)

At first, I thought he was just drunk and high when he interrupted her. But he just went on Jay Leno’s new show not too long ago, and apologised. Well if you could call it an apology that is. This is part of what he said:

“It was just very rude, period,” West added. “I’d like to apologize to her in person.”

So far so good.

Leno brought back the subject of West’s late mother and asked him what she would have thought about the incident. West gave a good 20 seconds of pause before saying “Obviously, I deal with hurt, and so many celebrities, they never take the time off, and I never took the time off, really. I’ve really never taken the time off. It’s been music after music and tour after tour. And I’m just ashamed my hurt caused someone else hurt.”

Wait whut???

“Obviously, I deal with hurt, and so many celebrities, they never take the time off, and I never took the time off, really. I’ve really never taken the time off. It’s been music after music and tour after tour. And I’m just ashamed my hurt caused someone else hurt.”

What in the world is he trying to say?

“I deal with hurt” – err, do you always get stabbed or something?

“and so many celebrities, they never take the time off” – what does that have got to do with this “hurt” you speak of?

“I never took the time off… tour after tour” – therefore… you need to interrupt her speech?

“I’m just ashamed my hurt caused someone else hurt” – WHAT IS THIS “HURT”? Is it a code word?
