Kanye West... you JACKASS!!!

For those people who didn't catch the VMAs last night, Taylor Swift won the award for Best Video by a Female Artist, and Kanye West felt compelled to put his two cents in. He jumped on stage, grabbed the microphone away from Swift and said, ""Taylor, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!"

Jeepers, Kanye.

He then gave the microphone back to a stunned and obviously shaken Swift who really couldn't finish her speech - how, oh HOW, do you play damage control after that and get back on your feet?

Kanye was booed. Over and over. And for good reason.

Kanye West, you are a jackass for two reasons (that applies to the VMAs... I mean, I could go on and on and on...)

1. You interrupt a 19-year-old rising artist to give props to Beyonce's video as if no one knew it was an excellent video.
2. You must not have thought that a woman (Beyonce) could win Best Video of the Year.

Which she did...

Later in the show, Beyonce was awarded the VMA for Best Music Video of the Year, and she, in her classiest moment yet, got up on stage, and handed the microphone to Taylor Swift to give her an opportunity to give her acceptance speech.

West has since "apologized" in ALL CAPS on his blog, stating "I'm so sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would've said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she's in the bleachers! I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment! Beyonce's video was the best of this decade!!! I'm sorry to my fans if I let you guys down!!! I'm sorry to my friends at MTV.I will apologize to Taylor 2mrw (tomorrow). Welcome to the real world!!! Everybody wanna boo me but I'm a fan of real pop culture! No disrespect but we watchin' (watching) the show at the crib right now cause...well you know!!! I'm still happy for Taylor!!! Booyaa. You are very very talented. I gave my award to Outkast when they deserved it over me. That's what it is! I'm not crazy yall (y'all), I'm just real. Sorry for that! I really feel bad for Taylor and I'm sincerely sorry!!! Much respect!!!"

Final summation: It may have appeared to the audience that Kanye West ruined the night for Taylor Swift. Instead, he ruined his career. Good job, West! Maybe being tossed off your imaginary thrown will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Thank you and you're welcome.
