Presidential candidate

August 28th, 2005 · Posted by Skuds in Politics · No Comments · Politics

Forget Hillary Clinton going for the democratic nomination, or the clever spoof of Christopher Walken running for president, the really exciting one is George Weah for President of Liberia.

It appears that the decision to run was clinched when he realised that the shirt number he always had with Milan (9) and the shirt number he had for his country (14) added together made 23 and that the elections this year are for the 23rd president of Liberia.

Can you imagine David Beckham doing that? Adding 9 and 14 together and getting the right answer I mean.

Sorry. Cheap joke that – he might be brighter than he seems, and he appears to be a decent enough bloke – but I couldn’t resist it.

Anyway, as a former African, European and World footballer of the year, he is probably the most famous Liberian, but will that be enough? We will find out in October.

The campaign to get Trevor Brooking to replace Tony Blair starts here!
