TO ERR IS HUMAN. TO FORGIVE IS POLITICALLY CORRECT

What is wrong with you people...at least some of you, not you, personally, of course. Some of you however are just so judgmental. You know who you are and you know what I'm talking about.

For the innocents of you out there, I'll spell it out. Kanye West. I've heard so many negative comments about West, even before he had a chance to explain. Now that he's explained why he did what he did, I guess those of you who are so quick to criticize are feeling pretty foolish right about now.

But let's analyze Mr. West's apologies (and yes there were several, which, in itself proves beyond a shadow of a doubt he is sincere). But first things first...in his blog, West wrote, "I'm so sorry." Now that alone should shut up his critics. He said he was sorry. Let's forgive and forget, you heathens.  But West went way beyond that, or perhaps I should say, "he went waaaaaayyyy beyond that."  Because the rapper turned apologist actually wrote, "I'm soooooo sorry." That's right. Six, count 'em six "o"s were used.  Now a 2 "o" so should be more than enough, but this poor persecuted man used 6 of  'em. I would think in anybody's book that should settle the matter. 

In fact, I'd say that the fact that Taylor Swift hasn't come out and accepted that apology tells you more about her than it does about him. Okay, technically she accepted it, but she really should have apologized for her part in putting him in that embarrassing situation.

But, West has gone way beyond a six "o" so.  He, in effect, opened up the very essence of his being, pouring his heart out and revealing his deepest, innermost thoughts. Looking at the audience in what has to be totally genuine remorse, the young musical genius told a somewhat heartless audience, "I may need to take some time off."

What pathos.  Or maybe I should say, "What does pathos mean?" Because I don't really know. But just think about this. Here Kanye West, in the prime of an ultra-successful life, indicates that the reason he stormed the stage and grabbed the microphone from the young and somewhat snotty Swift is that the poor man is just plain tired. Not since Madeline Kahn expressed her fatigue in Blazing Saddles has anyone so eloquently come right out and admitted to having been tired.

I have to tell you, I was shedding tears in buckets last night, not just because my heart went out to Kenye West, but because even I, yes even I, had harbored some animosity towards this most gracious of entertainers.

But I'm a changed man.  Just as America having elected a non-white President has made all of us white people feel better about ourselves, so my being so forgiving of Kanye West, who is also non-white, makes me feel real good about myself.

I'm positively radiant today. In fact, I don't think I've felt so good about myself since I forgave Chris Brown.
