"Rapper and former Fugees producer John Forté was one of 14 people pardoned by President Bush on Monday, according to Reuters. He had been serving a sentence of 14 years in prison since 2001, after being found guilty of possession of 31 pounds of liquid cocaine with intent to distribute."

Go Crazy Legs!

Trying not to be so cynical, but I guess this is payback for Wyclef's support of the US coup against Haiti's democratically elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
