Presidential comment of the year
Back story:
At the MTV Video Music Awards, country singer Taylor Swift was on stage to receive an award for the Best Female Video when Kanye West came on stage, took the mic from her and claimed Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time, twice, then left Swift speechless.
While being interviewed by CNBC, President Obama made an off the record comment calling Kanye West a "jackass" according to a tweet from ABC correspondent Terry Moran. Moran deleted it soon but as always, Twitter never really deletes them from their servers so it was still searchable.
At last year's VMA, Sacha Baron Cohen flew from the ceiling and planted his ass on Eminem's face. It was one of the most talked about stunts on TV but MTV later admitted it was staged. Was Kanye's stunt staged too? Whether it was or not, it got people talking about MTV again.
Guilty, your honor.
