Kanye, Um, Feels Bad He Hurt Dubya's Feelings?

Hot on the heels of former President George W. Bush dishing about his hurt feelings following Kanye West's not so sly implication that Bush was a racist, West called in to a Houston radio station with his own response. Pitchfork took the time to transcribe what Kanye said:

"Well I definitely can understand the way he feels-- to be accused of being a racist in any way. Because the same thing happened to me, you know, where I got accused of being racist. And with both situations, it was basically a lack of compassion that America saw in that situation. With him it was a lack of compassion, with him not rushing-- you know, him taking the time time to rush down to New Orleans. With me, it was a lack of compassion of cutting someone off in their moment. But nonetheless I think we're all quick to pull the race card in America. And now, I'm more open. And the poetic justice that I feel, to have went through the same thing that he went, and now I really more connect with him on a humanitarian level… because the next morning, when he felt that, I felt the same thing."

So is Kanye saying Taylor Swift is like a human Katrina?
