Wait…What? Wyclef Jean Professes ‘I Am A Huge Fan Of Sarah Palin’

» 70 comments

Politics for Wyclef Jean have often proven thorny. His past problems, however, have not seemed to stopped him from trying. Waxing political with a reporter from fashion trade mag Women’s Wear Daily at Donna Karan‘s New York Fashion Week after-party, the ex-Fugee and one-time Haitian presidential candidate admitted, “I have to tell you this: I am a huge fan of Sarah Palin.” Oh yeah? It’s an unlikely tune coming from Jean, who once called himself an “Obama Groupie.”

But he insists:

“Cause she’s rad. She’s shrewd. She’s cool. Because at the end of the day, I’m for the people, because this is the United States of America…this is what America’s really about. Anyone should have the right to say, ‘Look I can do the job and this is what qualifies me to do the job.’”

His awe, however, does not guarantee a vote for her in the case that she runs:

“I’m not saying she could be the next president, you know, but there’s something about her. Heavy debates in my house. Whenever I say Sarah Palin, people think I’m crazy, but I like her, I do. I can like whoever. This is America, right?”

Personal political flops aside, Jean’s man Sweet Micky Martelly did well in Haiti, maybe Palin should think about putting in a call.

    This has to be one of the most bizarre news stories in a while. Wyclef Jean a fan of Palin, who woulda thunk?

  • Jean Joseph

    “His awe, however, does not guarantee a vote for her in the case that she runs”. Actually, Wyclef Jean cant vote since he is not a US citizen. Sorry Mediaite, do your own little research! 

  • Norbit

    Wow, this really puts the Obama Democrats in a corner.

    On the one hand, they’ll hate ole’ Wyclef because he said something positive about Palin; but on the other, he is a brutal Marxist Dictator, and that’s someone the Obama Democrats can respect!

  • http://thefunemployed.blogspot.com/ rance

    “This is America, right?”

    Apparently, Wyclef has forgotten he is black.  And in America, black people do not have the freedom to have their own thoughts and opinions.  That freedom is reserved for whites only.

    Run along now and get back on the plantation before you get lynched.

    Mr Wyclef Jean, being a man of discernment and fortitude, will no longer be welcome at the front entrance to the liberal plantation. Only one opinion is allowed, and Simon Legree awaits all who deviate and actually open their eyes & ears.

    Wyclef, this is great because as reported today Sarah has “fetish for black men” Go for it!

    He totally wants to score and do coke with her.

  • Sharpo

    I’m a big fan of Sarah Palin. in a short skirt and thigh highs. mmm.

  • Anonymous

    Funny his comments come on the same day as Palin/Rice…Makes you go Hmmm!!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ECYBIXNKAG5E46BC3GCJQPA7CQ well_its_no_cannibal_holocaust

    But Sarah Palin is a coke whore.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ECYBIXNKAG5E46BC3GCJQPA7CQ well_its_no_cannibal_holocaust

    Palin had sex with Glen Rice, Wyclef now knows she likes the chocolate stuff and wants to break him off a piece.

  • Wake up America

    Considering we have coke pimp in the White House, anything goes, right?

  • CAIN

    Palin is for letting people of all colors DRILL!!!!

    Why should we all be surprised that Wyclef like Palin? Oh wait, because he’s black and liberals think all black people should think alike. Guess what, I vote Republican and I grew up on Wyclef’s music. Both when he was with the Fugees and later when he did his own music. Plus I’m white! GASP!

    Michelle better watch out Sarah has a thing for black guys.

  • NDanielson

    You little 0bama whores really can’t think about anything but sex, drugs and other people’s money, huh?

  • NDanielson

    So he’s a typical liberal? No real core beliefs? They throw each other under the bus so readily if it suits their game,too. Ever notice that?

  • koolmoedee

    Sarah Palin had sex with Glen Rice? WHAT? if this is true … I just got Christmas in September

  • NDanielson

    That’s why Jean’s ball-lickin’ chihuahua has more class than you. Mr. Jean at least offered some civil and reasoned argument as to why he respects Palin.

  • NDanielson

    Why, won’t that blow your Palin’s a racist meme, sweetpea? That would blow the once you go black… meme, too.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ECYBIXNKAG5E46BC3GCJQPA7CQ well_its_no_cannibal_holocaust

    I am thinking of doing coke and doing Sarah Palin,

    Brutal Marxist Dictator? Um, Norbit … who do you think Wyclef Jean is?

  • Richie

    I think the timing is no coincidence. I imagine other black celebrities will heart Palin now that it has been revealed that Palin used to sleep with black men.

  • Anonymous

    Not every black guy is a stone cold racist like Barack Obama you know.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ECYBIXNKAG5E46BC3GCJQPA7CQ well_its_no_cannibal_holocaust

    It blows none of my memes aside from the one that Sarah blew Glen Rice and did coke which was a meme no one was expecting aside from the people who really know what kind of person Sarah Palin is.

  • Pit Boss

    I have no idea what the hell you’re trying to say.

  • Pit Boss

    Yeah! And ” real ” Americans too…

  • Anonymous

    She also had a long affair with her husband’s business partner, so obviously, she does not discriminate.  Plus the cocaine use.  Another fake “conservative christian”.  Obama, Sarah and all these people who lock people away in prison, when they have engaged in exactly the same behavior.

    That’s obvious and unsurprising.

    Please don’t call Pablo stupid. The correct word is “challenged.”

    Congrats!

  • Pit Boss

    How many times do you think Palin has had a rich, black athlete snort coke off of her breasts?

  • NDanielson

    aside from the people who really know what kind of person Sarah Palin is.

    Who are you really? Levi, is that you? Is Kathy Griffin still pullin’ your chain?

  • Wake up America

    Wow I guess you guys do believe everything you read. So easy to be led by the nose. No wonder Obama is sitting in the WhiteHouse. You guys fell for all that ” he’s brilliant” spin. You guys do march to the beat as told. Simple minds, simple results.

  • Wake up America

    First of all you need a brain to ” think” judging by your post… You’re out of luck. Just saying!

    I don’t know if it is true, I just reported what is in the news.

    this story had nothing to do with this man’s race??? why are all the comments about his race??…. whites are just plain weird & liars & crazy ..

  • Anonymous

    Not unexpected. Wyclef is Haitian, not American. He’s already seen enough corrupt black men to know what Barack Obama really is.

  • Anonymous

    He’s Haitian. He’s seen so many corrupt black men, it’s easy for him to see through Obama.

  • TruDat

    Any you’re a mental midget, I mean little person.

  • TruDat

    Hey, if Barrack Obama can MARRY a black man, why can’t Palin date one?

  • TruDat

    Why, you afraid Palin would be drawn to Michelle?

  • TruDat

    Wow, it’s interesting to read the comments here from the left-wing loons; their true colors come shining through.  They’re racist, misogynists, sexist, intolerant or inter-racial dating, and every other label they typically throw at conservatives.  What a bunch of hypocrites liberals are.

    You made me LOL. I also caught that. And whats wrong with all these journalists. Because Wyclef likes Palin, you must now tell us all the reason why Wyclef is not a good guy. I dislike US politics with a passion.

    Perhaps he heard that she used to “have a thing for black me” and had an affair with Joe McGinniss.

    Oooops.  McGinniss was the author of the book.  Joe Rice was the guy she banged.

    You are really obsessed with Sarah Palin. You are pathetic stalker. You comment on all stories about Saeah Palin, particularly in C4P and spit lies. God help you.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ASHKUEB7ZAMK365JBTKFJPDJI4 gsuvari

    At least you’re consistent.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ASHKUEB7ZAMK365JBTKFJPDJI4 gsuvari

    No, I think the reason people are surprised that Wyclef likes Palin is because we thought he was a thoughful person.  Nothing to do with the color of his skin.  He’s intelligent and witty and has made some beautiful music.  He’s god a big heart and he actually cares about people.  Even as a politician he approached to office out of love and respect for people, not as attempt to grab power and the spotlight.  Wyclef inspires people and makes them want to work hard and achieve their goals.  Palin is all about Palin.  I won’t say that she’s not savvy and calculating.  She is.  But with her it’s all about Sarah.  That’s why we find it so difficult to believe that he “likes” her.  Perhaps he, like myself, finds her fascinating.  Very different from liking someone.

    The idea that two single people had sex 20+ years ago is a gift to you? What do you usually get for Christmas, a beating?

    You’re from Orlando?  Figures.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ASHKUEB7ZAMK365JBTKFJPDJI4 gsuvari

    Perhaps that’s WHY she’s a racist now.  Trying to throw us off her true passion and her past.  I went to school with a lot of these “good Christian” girls pretended that they were saving themselves for marriage but, when their parents and their pastors weren’t looking, they were bangin’ their brains out.  A few even got preggers and had them terminated.  After college they all married guys from their church, moved to the suburbs and became good Christian soccer moms.  Many even home school their kids now because they know firsthand the temptation that lurks out there in the real world.  Hypocrites!  Whenever I see Palin’s smug face on the screen all I can think about are those “good Christian” girls.  They’re denying their past and subscriptions to Paxil are on the rise.

    After cashing your welfare check?

    He replied to you.

    Actually I think you just need to grow a sense of humor.

    I was just gonna say, “wasn’t this the Dick Riding Obama guy?” but then remembered that was that Black Eyed Peas hack.

    Anyway, this sounds more like admiration rather than support. Funny how Tinseltown and Gotham are so close-minded that even entertaining the idea of admiring (or even supporting) someone who isn’t a Socialist is somehow controversial.

  • Pit Boss

    I found Sharpo’s argument civil and reasoned. And TRUE. I mean she’s no Bachmann but she’s got the milf thing going for her and now it looks like she’s very open sexually and that just adds to the fantasy.

  • NDanielson

    I found Sharpo’s argument civil and reasoned.

    Of course you do, dummy. No one would ever accuse you clowns of having class, and no one can ever say that liberals don’t stick together like thieves. And that you have hope for 0bama proves that you do exist in a fantasy of your own. Is anyone surprised?

  • Pit Boss

    I find your chastising of me to be a bit of a turn-on. Time to put this sexual tension between us to bed, if you know what I’m saying. Where you at, woman?

    I don’t post in there. No one could debate me so they banned me. That won’t work in an election. Bullying people into silence is not a good strategy.

    Sarah Palin is done with the teabaggers once they find out she has jungle fever.

    Strom Thurmond was a racist as they come, but his pecker wasn’t. It’s probably the same with Sarah’s Va jay jay.
