I'm paraphrasing here but he says something to the effect of:

"She seems like a nice girl...what's he doing up there? He's a jackass." That's funny stuff and it has to sting more than a little bit for Kanye to hear that from one of his heroes.

When used appropriately, jackass is one of the more demeaning insults. I think our good President used it very well.

I think it was simply an homage to MTV.

Kanye: "Barack Obama does not care about black people."

I've seen a few Kanye spoofs already....the Kanye-heckling-Obama spoof, as well as Kanye telling Patrick Swayze that Michael Jackson had the best celebrity death of the year.

If used sparingly, I think this running gag has some legs.
