Kanye West Ruins Taylor Swift's MTV VMA Victory, Grabs Mic From Her, Gives Shout-Out to Her Competitor Beyonce (VIDEO)

Once again Kanye West has shown that he has no class. Taylor Swift had finally won her first MTV Video Music Award and Kanye West had to ruin her moment. Just as she began telling the viewers and audience how much winning the best female video award meant to her, Kanye West stormed the stage and ripped the microphone from her grasp. He gave a crazy shout-out to one losing nominee -- Beyonce. As far back I can remember, Kanye West has been acting crazy and has put himself on a pedestal as the greatest entertainer behind Michael Jackson. It seems, however, that his behavior has become even more erratic since his mother died. What he did to Taylor Swift was a disgrace and West has, once again, shown a complete disregard for everyone else but himself. This is another example of the dumbing down of America.

"Taylor, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!" he ranted.

Of course the cameras cut to Beyonce, who sat in the audience with jaw dropped in disbelief. Well, after that tirade, Taylor was rendered speechless as Kanye gave her the microphone back and marched off stage. The audience booed and rightfully so.

Wait. There's more drama. The MTV VMA producers, feeling really stupid about what had just transpired, cut to a taped video clip of "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan and rapper Eminem while Taylor tried to continue her acceptance speech. Of course, she couldn't be heard. Her mike was cut off. Giving up, she strolled off stage.

At least Beyonce showed some class and called Taylor Swift back on stage as she accepted her award, to finish her acceptance speech. Unbelievable. Kanye West is an imbecile.
