Kanye West - Bisexual??? [merged]

Re: Kanye West is a little bitch

from my twitter adam to kanye:

adamlambertRT @_lovegame: @adamlambert But it gets him headlines every year too. Some people like attention and don't care if it's positive attention.
 
Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

The President has been in office all of 9 months and I would suspect that in the future he will be careful with his words in front of a microphone he believes is turned off.

Calling it like you see it is not a character fault. In this particular case it is rather refreshing.

Not as a politician in the 21st century, it isn't. As not just a politician but the biggest American politician currently on the scene, there is no off-the-record. Ever. He's basically living on The Real World until he leaves office, and everything he says, does, scratches and farts will be recorded, analyzed, and used against him. Better to learn this now on a lame punch towards a pointless pop culture celebrity than on something bigger, I guess.

Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

hey lex,

maybe its time we the people respected the man and his office enough to grant him a little respite from the 24/7 hell some are trying to keep him in...what do you think? i mean private citizen, public job et cetera.
 
Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

Fact is - I'm not in charge.

We as a nation (actually, we as a Western culture, as this doesn't seem confined to America) have become more and more insistent of complete and unhindered access to our celebrities and notable figures. We used to just see actors in movies. Then there were interviews. Then there were "heart-to-heart" interviews, where they bared all. Then there were behind-the-scenes peeks, and gossip magazines with "seen last night" spreads, and "Cribs" so you could see their house, and twitter so you could know what they were doing and thinking 24/7.

Personally, I don't get it. I never liked an actor, or politician, or singer, or any other celebrity, enough to care. I might watch an interview snippet, or read a press release to know more about a new album, say, but that's about it. I don't care what Prince's house looks like. I couldn't care less what the Battles do off stage. I don't give a flying fuck what the Fray thinks about Serena Williams. But apparently, a lot of people do.

It's all well and good to say "we should afford them privacy". Yeah, I'm in favor of it. But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. The fact of the matter is that, in 2009 America, we ARE a nation of twitter-obsessed gossip queens. Obama IS on the Real World, and as much as he, I or you wish he could just be a private citizen for a week, a day, an hour, a minute, the fact is he can't. He can work on changing that, if he so desires, but the public eye is going to stay on him until that change takes effect.

Well, okay. Maybe this will help clear up the Kanye West incident as reported by my hometown newspaper. It also may explain what "off-the-record" means according to a spokesman for ABC News.

That's pretty much what I thought went down. And I think it precisely sums up what I was saying - there IS no off-the-record. As long as there are people there with recording devices and/or access to the internet, things spoken "off-the-record" or "in privacy" can be made public within seconds. And it doesn't matter if they're said "off-the-record" - most people don't know nor care about what that means. They know Obama called Kanye a jackass, full stop.

there absolutely IS "off the record" if you want to continue to be a member of the white house press corps.
 
Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

The real thing that's interesting about this is that he KNOWS about the incident. Weird as hell. I mean..did someone tell him about it? He was just casually watching the 10 o'clock news or something? LMAO I'm just wondering how he found out. Sooo random.

one of my family members works for the DOD, and judging by the amount of personal information they have to disclose and the phenomenal amount of personal privacy etc that they relinquish, i'm assuming active press corps members have to disclose their social media accounts and they would be monitored by the white house communication office.
 
Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

I'm about to play a bit of Tevye from "Fiddler on the Roof":

On the one hand, I'm very much a fan of people speaking the truth and having the right to have an opinion;

On the other hane, "Once upon a time in America" our JOURNALISTS were trained to "RESPECT THE OFFICE, if not the person occupying it." Terry Moran stepped on his proverbial Dick in twittering this -- another reason NOT to use such media means - it has become WAY too easy to shoot off anything at the drop of a hat, instead of having to wait to get it out there, and maybe have some editorial review to "whisper in their ear".

On the other hand, AS President, Mr. Obama needs to start being a bit more circumspect in what he shoots from the hip with - again, not because he isn't entitled to free speech, but "to honour the office that he holds" - it commands a deeper dignity than it has been shown, increasingly, over the past 40 years.

Also, on the other hand, Kanye fucked up; Jay Leno took him to task Face to Face, in front of all of America last night, and Kanye gave what appeared to be a very sincere apology. Knowing that we all have skeletons in our closet, and particularly when you're the President, and can't "break wind" without it being on network news. Mr. Obama might could have exhibited a bit more compassion. Silence is always Golden.

Go ahead, throw your darts at me. Again, I'm looking at the respect DUE THE OFFICE, not the man in the office, or his rights -- sometimes, you really do "forfeit" some rights when you aspire to certain offices. The right to step on your dick in public is one that the President should refrain from exercising.

In my humble opinion.

Oh, yeah - I DID vote for and DO Support the Man, by the way. A true supporter will tell him when he's gone and stepped in something smelly.

I'm not saying the guy shouldn't lose his job, or receive some other penalty for spreading this info. But that doesn't change what happened. Despite something being "off-the-record", that piece of information got out, and now lots of people know about it. One can't count on something being "off-the-record" STAYING off-the-record.

Interesting that Moran felt it was okay to ridicule the President for speaking the truth:

No matter. Because by then, ABC's Terry Moran had already gone to Twitter with a cryptic tweet about 6:20 p.m.: "President Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT's presidential."

Makes me wonder what he wrote when that guy called the President a liar the other day.

i understand your point, in that in today's technology heavy society, the ABILITY to disseminate information socially is immediate and at someone's fingertips.

however, the rules of the white house don't change. and it's a galactically misguided idea to break the rules and leak an off the record statement. from the PRESIDENT no less. nevermind a lesser staffer.

twitter, facebook aside - off the record is off the record and nowhere is that more enforced than the white house.
 
Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

Having been a journalist when I first got out of school and later conducting many interviews with journalists (as well as having friends in the White House pressroom)...there is definately on the record and off the record.

The news reporters who get the "scoops" and often know what and when thing will happen don't just get it dropped in their laps. They have to pay their dues and earn the respect of those in the various offices. I had reporters that I would call and tell something was going to be announced or happen and that they couldn't yet report it -- but they could do lots of background work so that when the news broke, they had the full story along with all the supporting stories and materials.

If I did not like a reporter or one violated "off the record" and "on the record" .... I guarantee they got a press release and, if possible, it would be delayed in getting to them (such as just after their press time deadlines).

I can very much bet that this reporter will not have to worry about getting any information other than what is officially released.....
 
Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

there is NO doubt this was "off the record"

Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

kanye is a douch, he's been a douch ever since nature made the mistake of letting survive that car accident.

hopefully the pres' abuses his power somehow and keeps that corny ass nigga off the mic.
 
Re: Should our President call Kanye a Jackass?

I like my politicans to be human, not emotionless robots.

So it's nice to see he has a little interest, or at least knows of popular events at the moment outside the circle of economics and crap.
Make's him easier to relate to.
