In light of the recent devastation down in New Orleans, and Bush's slowness in responding with anything other than flying over in a helicopter and hugging a couple of folks in Mississippi, NBC broadcast a benefit/donation show with loads of stars asking for help to be donated.
All goes well, donations come in.
Until Mike Myers & Kanye West do their bit in the studio.
Myers explaining what has happened, the destruction and lives lost.
Kanye West's turn comes up and he deviates from the autocue and delivers an unscripted outburst criticising Bush and the government for not doing anything in a system that "is set up to help the poor and the blacks as slowly as posisble" and pointing out that a third of the National Gaurd are in Iraq anyway, and that "they've given them permission to go down and shoot us"
Myers looking off-camera with a "Help" expression before attempting to steer it back on course, before West delivers his final statement. Cameras cut away to Chris Rock looking unprepared.
This segment was cut from the repeated broadcast by NBC who felt that "one persons comments shouldn't overshadow this tragedy"
Bear in mind that Kanye West was the biggest selling rap/RnB artist of last year and has a new album out to promote.
And he's risked that to deliver a genuinely angry, outraged statement that an awful lot of people are thinking but nobody is saying on the television.
Watch, enjoy and pass along as the largest selling recording Artist of 2004 alienates the Christian right-wing element of America by simply refusing to play along and speaking from his heart.
Outstanding and I'm buying his album purely to support somebody willing to risk **EDITED FOR THE BONUS OF BLANK** minor financial loss in the short term but possible gain when balanced against the projected earnings from previously unaware members of the public who wish to support somebody speaking out on National Television*** because they cant sit back and say nothing

Bush just doesn't seem to give a crap anymore. I say "anymore," I probably shouldn't. It seems to me his two major concerns since becoming the big number one have been the financial side, (hence all those rebuilding contracts for Halliburton etc.) and getting re-elected. Of course, he can't get re-elected now, he's already got that second term. So why should he care about the people anymore, when they can't do anything for him in return?
I often wonder why people want to become politicians when it's quite clear that they don't care about the people involved. They get elected only to try and get re-elected. I can only think that they love the power; there are other ways to become rich and famous.

Ah, Crooks and Liars.
I saw clips from Fox on that site.
The "anchors" (is that what they're called?) were in the studio trying to spin some "perspective" but the ground reporters were having none of it, exposing how badly the FEMA were handling it, pleading with them not to lock people up in the dome without supplies.
It still seems so far away for me.
I'm kind of ashamed that I'm only really looking for controversy and not really keeping up to date with the situation itself. :-S

My friend said he took that, I guess he was lying unless it actually was him and has spread.
Edit: Just notice it says skynewsireland. The damn liar

Aha, I seen that on ITV news earlier.
And a member of the public tells Cheney to "go *&%$ yourself" live on CNN as he tells the cameras how things are being fixed.

Is that a gay euphemism?
Yesh. They knock them out with crazy purple knockout gas.
