A Grammy for Orrin?
You knew something was up when Sen. Orrin Hatch sprung convicted drug dealer and rap-music producer John Forte from prison.A letter obtained through an open records request by the Salt Lake Tribune provides the smoking gun, as it were. Hatch, who has released several awful CDs of music and is a shameless star sniffer, is obviously planning to collaborate with Forte:
He is writing songs with messages that today's youth need to hear -- from someone they will respond to, like John Forte. John will make a difference if allowed the freedom to do so and I am personally committed to helping make sure that he keeps his promises once he is released.
President Bush, prodded by Orrin, commuted Forte's sentence for smuggling $1.4 million worth of liquid cocaine as part of a drug ring.
My contention is … that the best interest of our society would be served, in this case, by allowing John his freedom -- a gift which he has vowed to use in the pursuit of helping at-risk youth abstain from drugs and drug activity.
And what better way to reach at-risk youth than through their music? I'm sure Orrin's working on his rapping ryhmes now.
A the very least, the Forte jail break will allow Orrin to hang with folkie Carly Simon, whose son attended an exclusive private school with Forte. Carly knows the way to Orrin's heart—she recorded one of his songs in gratitude for intervening for Forte.

Star sniffer. Accurate term for Hatch.
I'm just about as red blooded a conservative as they come and I can't fathom why Utah keeps electing this man to office. I think that I would support term limits if only to kick this guy to the curb.
