Coverage

There have been several unusual and telling incidents on live TV since Hurricane Katrina hit. A few of them are collected here. Particularly interesting is the video of a rapper (Kayne West) delivering what was meant to be a scripted back-and-forth with Mike Myers on a live relief concert. Instead he went off into a nervous monologue and ended with the phrase "Bush doesn't care about black people". The response to that has been interesting.

Scroll down that page to see the video (well worth it for the look on Myers's face as well as the timing of the cut to an obviously unprepared Chris Tucker). If you can't handle the video there is also a transcript linked there.

"Kanye West" is the fourth leading query on Technorati right now, behind "Impeach Bush," "Katrina," and "Ipod Nano."

Yeah, but my entry's better than all of those.

Sorry, didn't mean to suggest yours was redundant. Just noting that he is becoming a meme.
