Beyonces new album was running for president you can see where its base voters would live and where it wouldnt get any votes. theres a similar map for when the l.a. clippers owner donald sterling was banned for life from the nba. not maybe as big a splash as the new beyonce record, but still you can see it unfold. lots of tweets at first in some areas and then less in others. in the sliver of news that people care about that is not sports or music, its illustrative to look at the scandal and ups...

Wonderful and ive got a treat for you. >> and so was i with each piece of chicken. >> wait until we get behind closed doors and you see the treat i have for you. you got it? >> is it me or has pat robertson been listening to beyonce. ive been drinking, my surfboard -- come on! pat robertson should keep his opinions behind closed doors. no one deserves compensation for doing their part in a relationship. if robertson thinks talking dirty is the key to keeping it clean, he can keep on pretending. ...

But, the other thing. >> and what do they have in common? what do they have in common? mental illness. thats the key. >> sure. hinckley, who shot reagan, they all come back to it. i made a mini campaign about beyonces videos affecting young unsupervised girls in a negative opinion. i didnt do what hornaday did. i didnt say beyonce caused. i said its deleterious effect on these children and they perhaps may act out. this is a cause and effect. i mean, this is yearous when a "the washington post" ...

President. is actually as american as apple pie. they are talking about everything else we see in america. >> talking about it in a way that alienates the system. you cant get a job if you walk in to ibm and use that kind of a presentation. you cant. >> but what im say talking, sir, with all due respect first of all we who are having this hip hop culture and the industry that you referenced at the top of the show. we agree about the problems with the industry. its the ceos who put out this. >> i...

Whatsoever it be anti-met particular its with perceived that way. the song is called thrift shop. many people reacted very negatively to it although you didnt see a lot of coverage. >> no. >> is he really soorst progressive darling. he wrote the song same love which became a theme love for same sex marriage. they did that huge same sex marriage ceremony on the awards show to his song. maybe they dont want to admit that he stepped out of line. >> they dont like -- they being the mainstream media ...

Response time to these scandals. lets go back and look at his presidency. it took him three days to comment on the irs scandal. five days to comment on the crotch bomber. nine days to comment on the bp oil spill. why does it take him so long to react? especially with something to important and radioactive like our veterans to say he read about it in the newspapers, the only excuse is he was worse he was on the phone with george clooney or with beyonce and jay z at dinner the other night. numerou...
