Elinor Burkett made headlines last Sunday when she interrupted Roger Ross Williams‘ acceptance speech for producers of the Academy Award-winning short-subject documentary Music By Prudence. Last night she explained her “Kanye Moment” with Joy Behar and seemed to ignore the graceful route of explanation, choosing instead to remind us all of why we didn’t like her to begin with.

Her explanation begins at roughly 1:55 and includes her line “maybe I’m just a middle-aged crazy person?” I disagree, after watching this clip, I don’t think there is any “maybe” about it.
