i wanna know how in the fuck GWB justified that one........

11/25/2008 10:30:33 AM

He doesn't have too. President's pardons and communions are absolute and can't be overturned.

no shit, but normally they have a reason, whether it was because they were friends in the 70s, friend of a relative, some connection, but fucking john forte? is there something I am missing, or were the letters of washed up celebrities enough to get him the pardon?

11/25/2008 10:33:53 AM

No reason. End of story.

11/25/2008 10:34:30 AM

^ that's some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard

of course he has a reason, else he wouldn't have done it

i have no problem with him doing it

but i would like to know why he did

11/25/2008 10:36:03 AM

Haha, I am just being a prick. Yeah , I understand what you are saying but at the same time you don't have to know!

11/25/2008 10:37:00 AM

good enough

11/25/2008 10:37:28 AM

Well, if I were President, I would pardon and commune every request that was sent to me on my last day in office, but I would not tell anyone before I did that. Just the lucky ones that had the balls to request would have the surprise of their lives.

I saw why he did that - Forté produced some fugee tracks that were HUGE, so he got to know some HUGE people in the music industry. These people believed 14 years for a first offense was harsh, so they spoke up the ranks till GWB was convinced it was the right thing to do.

End of story

hah

Also, Forté was probably set up. Nobody would really just try to carry kilos of liquid cocaine in the country like that. Especially someone who already had his life set, like John Forté

11/25/2008 12:47:51 PM

pardon?

11/25/2008 12:56:33 PM

pardon?

11/25/2008 2:16:55 PM

^^^I dunno man, people do some really stupid illegal shit regardless of how well-off or "set" their life is. I think the mandatory minimum sentence rules are ridiculous and I'm willing to bet he's getting out because he has friends in positions of influence who feel the same.
