Rapper and actor, T.I. was recently being interviewed on Sirius XM, when he was asked his thoughts on Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions. According to the Huffington Post, this is what he had to say.

Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman. Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally -- they make very permanent, cemented decisions -- and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet. I think you might be able to the Lochness Monster elected before you could [get a woman].

Needless to say, this landed T.I. in a great deal of hot water, and resulted in a public apology on Twitter.

My comments about women running for president were unequivocally insensitive and wrong. I sincerely apologize to everyone I offended.

As a radio host, you always look for topical issues to discuss with your guest. But what I'm trying to figure out, is why the DJ was asking for T.I. opinion when it comes to our future Commander and Chief. From what I understand, T.I. is a convicted felon and is unable to vote. So in my mind, that makes his opinion irrelevant from the get-go.
