This trend of D-list celebrities running for high political positions is alarming.
Wyclef Jean's assumption that his political "neutrality" lends a bipartisan voice for Haiti is an ill-conceived excuse for presidential power. But since he "represents" the youth constituency, which is 50% of the population, his star power probably has a reasonable amount of local pull amongst jobless young men. Haiti's only going to get uglier...
I would advise Haitians to think twice before voting for anyone who speaks in third-person. Sadly, I believe that Wyclef has a good shot at becoming president. Mary Carey for VP!
{addendum} After thinking about this a bit more, I think that Sean Penn's comment on national TV was gratuitous and probably detrimental to whole cause. Whereas it might be true that Wyclef Jean is an absentee Samaritan, it's not like Americans are going to be the ones voting the dude in... if anything I'd hope that the people of Haiti can pick what's best for them (and it really may be Wyclef Jean).
Miffy commands a band of ferocious and uncouth pirates. Armed, dangerous, and wildly unpredictable, the marauders commonly prowl the uncharted waters of New York and are often seen near St. Alps teahouse. Her parents could not be reached for comment.
