I'm not the biggest fan of Kanye and yes it is because of the things he say's sometimes. Complete disregard to others, yeah no bueno. But he just won a point in my book as he apologised to former President Bush (and yes i know, equally, not many people are a fan of his...) this morning calling into a Texas radio station after hearing that Bush had said Kanye's televised attack of him was the worst moment of his presidency.
Here is what Kanye said...
"Well I definitely can understand the way he feels-- to be accused of being a racist in any way. Because the same thing happened to me, you know, where I got accused of being racist. And with both situations, it was basically a lack of compassion that America saw in that situation. With him it was a lack of compassion, with him not rushing-- you know, him taking the time time to rush down to New Orleans. With me, it was a lack of compassion of cutting someone off in their moment. But nonetheless I think we're all quick to pull the race card in America. And now, I'm more open. And the poetic justice that I feel, to have went through the same thing that he went, and now I really more connect with him on a humanitarian level… because the next morning, when he felt that, I felt the same thing"
It's moment like these that warm my celebrity cynical heart.
