Orrin Hatch<\/a>, of all people, was able to get R&B producer Dallas Austin a ‘get out of jail free’ card after Dallas’ recent conviction for coccaine possession in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Granted, 4 years in a UAE <\/a>jail for possession of 1.26 grams (that’s about 1 and 1\/4 raisins worth) of coke seems a bit harsh but it’s their country, they get to make the rules.  This whole deal turns on the fact that both Hatch and Austin retain the services of one Joel A Katz, an entertainment lawyer in Atlanta.  So Austin phones home, Katz calls Hatch and Hatch calls Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and WHAM<\/i>!, Austin is released.<\/p>\n

I’m sure this had nothing to do with Hatch’s support of the DP World<\/a> bid to to manage several American ports.  Nah….<\/p>\n

I’m also sure that Hatch’s campaign fund will get a few hip-hop bling thrown it’s way.  That just makes me laugh.  Maybe he just wants a new record deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Politics sure does make strange bedfellows.<\/p>\n
