My two cents...
The only reason that what Kanye said was shocking at all is that this administration has been so effective in silencing dissent over the last five years. They've spun criticizing our own government into an act of treason, so you never hear this kind of thing on TV anymore. Literally millions of people are saying the same thing to their friends and family every day. Think about it -- why should it be shocking to hear the same opinions on TV that you hear on the street ten times a day? But it is shocking, because the Bush administration has scared everybody into keeping their mouths shut. Well, finally a few people are beginning to stand up and tell it like it is, and to hell with the consequences. Hopefully Kanye and Mayor Nagin are just the first of many.
