Yes. That was Kanye West. I don't think anything he said was scripted.
However, I have to say, he is the first celebrity that I have seen so far say anything about giving some of his own money...He said he has asked his business manager to let him know the maximum he can give and still meet his own obligations.
I'm sure other celebrities are giving also but this is insane.....!!!
This is America...! We are RICH....why are these people suffering in our own backyard? It's so upsetting to me.
Trisha Yearwood was on the Today show this am and she said "What can we do? We're singers, we can raise money." I felt like screaming at the TV..."You can give 1/2 of the money you paid for your dress and that will pay for 12 mobile homes for these people to live in!! You have 2 arms and 2 legs. Go hand out water and food!!!!"
Unlike the majority of us who are just getting by and have 9 to 5 jobs that we HAVE to go to every day to feed our families, these celebrities should ALL be down there...
I wish the world would just stop for a week so we can ALL go down and help....It should not be this hard in the United States of America....It doesn't have to be this way....Ugh, I will get off my soapbox now....I am just so upset and feel so helpless....
