Orrin's connection is out
On Tina Brown's The Daily Beast blog, John Forte, a former Fugees producer, rapper and drug smuggler sprung from prison through the efforts of Sen. Orrin Hatch, writes about freedom after seven years behind bars.
A little more than an hour and a half elapsed before my package of clothes was brought over by a couple of corrections officers. They were kind, made a couple of jokes at which I did not laugh; my nerves were still frazzled. I brought the bag of clothes into an adjacent bathroom and breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that they did, indeed, fit me. The two officers who delivered my clothes were also the officers who escorted me to the SUV that awaited me in the parking lot.Forte was busted for attempting to smuggle $1.4 million in liquid cocaine through Newark International, but Hatch pushed for a presidential commutation of the rapper's prison sentence because Forte is "no risk to society because he was not a drug user." Forte, a record producer, has said he looks forward to working with Hatch, who dabbles in song writing.“Good luck,” they said, almost in unison.
Did they practice that? I wondered.
“Thanks.”

Pardon a drug dealer - who poses no threat to society because he isn't a "user." Then who is going to use the $1.3 million in drugs?
Now add to the mix a vote for a tax cheat, "because he can hit the ground running" as expressed by Hatch on the Glenn Beck Fox TV show at about 3:30 PM this afternoon. Seems it is as I told Uncle Orrin a few years ago - he has sat next to Senator Ted K. for so many years & had to lean left to tald to him that he can't seem to get right again. He has to go next time around - maybe he will make it easy & retire.
