If there's a silver lining to the Kanye West cloud, it's that kids learned a lesson in manners and humility. As angry as Tim McGraw was that the rapper hijacked Taylor Swift's VMA speech, he says he was glad for the conversation he had with daughters Gracie, Maggie and Audrey after the incident."He shows himself to be an idiot every time he does stuff like that," Tim tells 'CMT Insider' (via PEOPLE). "[My girls] were upset. But what he did do is provide a great example of how not to be, and my girls learned a big lesson."
Still, Tim was fired up by Kanye's antics. He just didn't let his girls see it. "When they weren't looking I said, 'He needs an a-- whoopin'!" Tim adds.
CMT's interview with Tim airs this Saturday, Sept. 19 at 1:30 PM ET.

i agree he does need one, he is a one time wonder who is forgotten, and the only way he can get publicity is by moronic gestures, like this and the audacity of blaming bush for katrina, what a joke that was

You can bet if it were a white guy doing that to a black woman they would be all over it. It would be big news for months how white people disrespect black female entertainers but since it was a black no talent doing it to a white female artist he thinks it is okay. At least Beyonce was gratious enough to see what was going on and bring taylor up again. Now Beyonce is a class act. I thank you ma'am.

Bush did NOT cause katrina he just had an idiot in charge at fema who did nothing for the people who needed help.

jandsbackhoe, shut the Hell up, before you get drug from a pick-up truck by your d***. You're a coward on the internet talking big and bold. It had nothing to do with race. This isn't the first time Kanye West did something as stupid as that. However, it was not because Taylor was White, you idiot. It's fine when Don Imus speaks his "right to free speech", but when the situation happens in another setting, it's racial slurs and coward behavior, you dummy...

Tim McGraw is the music version of Hugh Jackman.their family comes first & they will do anything to protect it. Tim has such a strong love for Faith & the girls & he doesnt care who sees it. he is making it macho to be a man with feelings. I love how he said when the girls werent looking that Kanye needed an a$$ whoopin & Tim is one would could do it. I saw an interview with Jon Rich the other nite & he said Kanye should be thankful there werent any big ole country boys in the audience because they would of taken care of matters & MTV wouldnt have had to worry about kickin Kanye out.

Kayne would not have a choice--Tim could stomp him and make him look like a blop of blue gum

I'm pretty sure Tim could kick Kanye's ass. Kanye took the mic away from a sweet, kind-hearted girl like Taylor Swift. Just goes to show how weak he is. He's too scared to do it to just anybody. So yea, I am pretty sure that Tim could take Kanye.. Any day!!
HIat 9-18-2009
I know some people black, white and other that would kick his === for being disrespectful and rude. his momma must be really ashamed cause he acts like he doesnt have one!

Kanye is a complete sissy. That douche couldn't fight his way out of a wet paperbag. Please any of those country boys would whop his butt. The difference is, his little thug bodyguards would probably shoot them. He needs a butt whooping. The guy is a tool and Beyonce showed that with her class and instant distancing of herself from him after he acted the way he did. I bet his mom would be apauled by how he acted if she way alive now, GOD rest her soul. Used to be a fan until he got all racist and hated on an upcoming star who actually deserved her award and time to thank who helped get her there. Lord knows he talks all the time whenever given the stage or when he takes it from others, lol. He is nothing more than a no style DIVA with a horrible haircut!!!! What a loser!!!! Bitch Please!!!!!!!

Wow, This answers a lot of questions. When it first happened and he grabbed the mike from taylor....I looked at my wife and said, "I wonder what Tim Mcgraw is going to think about this".
This definitely is one of the dumbest blogs i have seen. Tim, nobody gives a sh it about what you think about it .Why dont you be the one who runs down there and whoops his a$$. stupid
tmnofsteel1234at 9-17-2009
I seen a few "big ole Country boys" in the audience and I didnt see anybody running up to him. i hate him for a slew of reasons but now a bunch more stars going to look like retards and idiots by posting ignorant comments about it. Better be careful, dont get Tims a$$ whooped talking crap
