On Kanyegate

Unsurprisingly, Rich Juzwiak has the best response to Kanyegate. As much as I wanted to side with Taylor Swift, and as someone who until last night thought that Kanye’s arrogance was always more affected than real, I have to agree that these two clowns should really get a life:

The only difference is that she’s young enough for it not to be completely pathetic. Still, the entitlement was wafting off her as she strolled out from backstage (this, clearly was pre-meditated — props to Beyoncé for not being so invested as to need to blather about nothing after receiving something that means just as much, but don’t think for a second that you were watching spontaneous generosity). It was so ridiculous when, all put out, Taylor was like, “Maybe we could try this again…” and then launched into the same bland shit she was going to say when she actually won: “I would really like to thank Roman White, who directed my video…” You know what, if you love your fucking Moon Man so much, why not write a song about him?
