Riz Khan on Al Jazeera English recently interviewed Wyclef Jean, ersatz candidate for president of Haiti. Unimpressive, but I bet the other presidential candidates are no better or worse.
It's still unclear Jean will be able to qualify as a candidate. [Note added on 21 August 2010: Haiti's electoral council ruled Jean is ineligible to run.]
Jean's cousin Pras Michel, who is supporting another presidential candidate, recentlyTweeted the following:
Someone just said to me please I didn’t say it so don’t shoot the messenger, but he said Wyclef Jean is the Haitian version of Sarah Palin.
Not sure I follow that logic, but here's one viewpoint.
