As usual, when disaster strikes celebrities go on TV and try to raise money for the relief effort. In keeping with that tradition, Mike Myers, Chris Tucker, and Kanye West went live on NBC to raise money for the red cross and its efforts in the Hurricane Katrina aftermath. Myers was tag-teaming the reading of the teleprompter with Kanye West when all of a sudden it went terribly wrong. West started bumbling incoherent phrases that had nothing to do with one another about how the media portrays black people as looters blah blah blah. Myers just kinda looked at him, did some more dialogue and passed it back to West.

This time West only said one thing: "George Bush doesn't care about black people"

NBC immediately cuts to Chris Tucker whose jaw is dropped and just kinda looks at the camera for a few seconds. Watch this clip and see what I mean.

Another funny thing . . . I thought that rappers supposedly have "a firm grasp on the English language" so that when they use slang its ok. Kinda like how breaking rules of English grammar is an effective tool if you know what the rule is. Obviously not the case with st...st...stuttering and st...st...stammering West.
