The Hip-Hopper Hopes to Save Haiti

What's all this about celebs running for office? It's bad enough that the Terminator has the desk in California, but now Wyclef Jean has announced that he too wants to leap into politics. Having always been politically vocal through his music, the Haitian native has recently decided that he is going to run for President of Haiti.

This news comes as a shock to not only the global public, but also to fellow celebrity activist Sean Penn, who, since the devastating earthquake in January, has spent the majority of his time in Haiti helping to rebuild ravaged communities.

However, even in the face of vocal doubters, the hip-hop artist is still determined to be a part of the country's election in November.

The suffering people of Haiti, the youth of Haiti... can't take another five years of the corruption that's been going on for the past 200 years, said Wyclef last week.
The earthquake that killed nearly 300,000 Haitians was devastating enough. Do the people of Haiti really need the media sh*t-storm that's guaranteed to follow Wyclef in this election, too?
