Surprise! Attention Whore-Clef Pimps Haitian Presidential Bid To Promote New Album

A month after he was told it wasn’t happening, Wyclef issued a statement yesterday to say he’s abandoning his “Obama of Haiti” aspirations.

Hip-hop star Wyclef Jean said on Tuesday he was abandoning his attempt to run in Haiti’s November presidential election, one month after his candidacy was formally rejected by Haitian authorities.

“After weeks of quiet but painstaking reflection with my wife and daughter, I have chosen to end my bid for the presidency of Haiti,” the singer-songwriter said in a statement.

“This was not an easy conclusion to reach; but it is one that was thoughtfully made,” Jean added.

Wait, didn’t he say this last month before he threw his guitar-strumming hissy fit on stage, calling Sean Penn a coke head? So why make the same announcement twice?

The Haitian-born Jean, who has lived most of his life in the United States, said he would now focus on his music. He said he planned to release a new album next year titled “If I were President, the Haitian Experience.”

Wow. You couldn’t even come up with a creative name for the album?
