It looks like George W. Bush and Kanye West have buried the hatchet—at least for now.

In a taped interview on NBC's "Today" show, the often-impulsive rapper told Matt Lauer that he now regrets having said after Hurricane Katrina that Bush "doesn't care about black people."

"I would tell George Bush: In my moment of frustration, I didn't have the grounds to call him a racist," West said. "I believe that in a situation of high emotion like that, we as human beings don't always choose the right words."

In Bush's new memoir, "Decision Points," Bush calls the moment "disgusting" and the lowest ebb of his presidency.

Appearing separately on "Today," Bush, upon seeing a video of West's remarks, replied, "I appreciate that." But he added: "It wasn't just Kanye West who was talking like that during Katrina. I cited him as an example."

Asked if he forgives West, Bush said "absolutely."

"I'm not a hater. I don't hate Kanye West," he said. "But I was talking about an environment in which people were willing to say things that hurt. Nobody wants to be called a racist, if in your heart you believe in the equality of race."

The best part of that whole thing was Mike Myers face when Kanye said it.

Agreed. I think this also applies to any other celebrity. Just because someone sings, is on TV, or plays in movies, doesn't make them an authority on politics. Frankly, I don't care what Kanye West thinks anymore than Tom Cruise, Keith Oberman, or Rush Limbaugh. The fact that anything these people say is considered as "news" shows how shallow we are as a society.....

No one with at least half a brain takes him seriously.

With that said, millions of people DID give his comment serious contemplation. Some who post here, in fact, took his immature outburst to heart.



I think it would have been funny had Bush told him to "shove his applogy up his black ass".

No! And neither should Bush. Kanye is an attention whore and by "forgiving" him Bush is just giving him more attention. Screw that douchebag.
