New meaning for 'face the music'
A. Weldon Angelos founded the hip-hop label Extravagant Records.

B. Angelos is in prison for drug dealing.

C. Angelos has asked President Bush for clemency.

Can Sen. Orrin Hatch's intervention be far behind?
Angelos admits he not "completely innocent" but argues his punishment is overly harsh for drug dealing, money laundering and gun possession.

I'm sure Orrin would agree, especially since Angelos' label is the final piece Hatch needs to launch his break-out rap CD, produced by hip-hop music producer John Forte, whom Hatch sprung a few weeks ago.

Orrin Hatch has not been the same since his abortive run for the Presidency. He seems permanently disconnected from Utah's needs. Although clearly less polarizing and much more gracious than Chris Cannon, he has become even more irrelevant to Utah than Cannon.

The best thing Senator Hatch could do for the state is to declare this to be his final term and not to run for re-election. He should pass the torch while he is still respected. Don't wait to be dragged kicking and screaming out of Congress by the voters like Cannon was.

Orrin Hatch is one of the classiest gentlemen to ever grace the United States Senate. But his time is past, and he has long since fulfilled his mission. He's earned an honorable retirement.
