Wayne released

WEEZY RELEAZIE: Lil Wayne was released from Rikers Island this morning after serving eight months on a gun-possession conviction, as another connection was forged between a rapper and an ex-President (see Kanye West and George W. Bush’s comments about each other in 11/3 items below). "What I hope is that [the jail time] is not just something to brand him as a cool guy, but that it will never happen again to him," Bill Clinton said Tuesday in an interview on Kiss FM Pittsburgh. "What I hope will happen is that he has a good life now." To complete the thought, President Obama recently told Rolling Stone that he has some Weezy tracks on his iPod. (11/4a)
