Although Br'r West might not have seemed to have been all that much of an enemy, he would have been easily slapped down ~ crushed even ~ and that'd been the last of that. Instead, the giggle-slobber crowd among the Democrats used that as an opening for their sort of corrupt politics.

It would have been a mistake to spend valuable time and resources exchanging spitballs with the likes of West.
Bush had a job to do, and ignoring the ignorant was the best way to go about it. Now that he’s out of office, he can say what he wants.
No one in government should lower themselves to respond to entertainers, especially losers like Kanye West who are even hated by members of their own industry. Taylor Swift barely responded when he jerked out at the music awards.
