You've got to be kidding. Really. Musicians have long stuck their noses into political rhetoric. My consistent view: Sing and shut up. With tone-deaf hip-hop artist Wyclef,

He admitted on CBS News, "I have no qualifications for president; I have qualifications for a leader," but then blustered, "America has Barack Obama and Haiti has Wyclef Jean," as well as the equally absurd: "People say, 'Are you running for president?' I say no, I am naturally being drafted by my country to serve my country." Smells like opportunistic bullshit to me.
And let's remember that Wyclef owes $2.1 million

Current Haitian President Rene Preval is constitutionally barred from seeking a new term in the Nov. 28 election, leaving an open field. The winner will inherit a decimated capital, 1.5 million homeless and infighting over billions in reconstruction funds pledged after the January earthquake killed an estimated 250,000 people.
God help Haiti. All the more.
