Special Report:Bush Commutes John Forte’s Prison Sentence
I usually don’t post twice a day, but I just heard this and I really wanted to spread the word as soon as I could. George Bush commuted John Forte’s prison sentence yesterday. For those who don’t know, Forte was down with the Fugees, and had a couple solo albums, including one released while he was behind bars in federal prison facing 14 years on drug distribution charges. He was arrested in 2000 at Newark Airport after accepting a suitcase that contained 1.4 million in liquid coke, and I ain’t talking soft drinks. He’s always maintained that he was set up (by two paris hilton-esque suburban chicks at that), and he has had his share of supporters including Carley Simon and Republican Senator Orrin Hatch. Who would have thought Bush would be the one to set him free. Wow.
