A Rare Moment
I agree with the president:
President Obama just called Kanye West a jackass…
I don’t know why the White House would want this off the record. Seems like a great “Sister Souljah” opportunity. Of course, I’ve always thought that Kanye West was a jackass. Glad to see the president has finally come around.

Dual Standard Alert, methinks.
