PekinInterview
with Weahomer, the 11th grade dropout who is running for
President of the Republic of Liberia
Pekin:
Weahomer, how do you propose to get the children off the
streets and into schools?
Weahomer:
Well Pekin, I see it like this, you kids can skip school,
I'll meet you all on the soccer field and we will play soccer
all day. That should keep all the Pekin them off the streets.
Pekin:
It sounds risky.
Weahomer:
Don't worry so much about school, Pekin, Education is not
important. Look at me and where my 11th grade education
is taking me.
Pekin:
Yes right to the mansion. And what do you attribute that
to?
Weahomer:
You see, the NEC standards are
so low, you don't have to know nothing, you don't even have
to be a citizen of Liberia. All you have to be is popular,
have access to money, and threaten your people will riot
if you don't run. Look Doe didn't know nothing,
he was president, Taylor threaten and they let him run.
I fit both categories and I can proudly say, I created the
3rd category and will go down as the first French President
of Liberia.
Pekin:
Anything else you would like to say before we end this interview?
Weahomer:
Yes, I would like to thank the NEC for giving me this
opportunity and for lowering the standards of Liberia even
more just to accommodate me and allow me the best chance
to win the election. Without them, this chance would
not have been possible you know.
Pekin:
Weahomer you are my Role Model, you got my Vote and remember,
I want to be Finance Minister....
Weahomer:
Pekin,
you make me look good in this interview and the job is yours,
if you don't.....
Pekin:
I know, I know, If I make you look bad, your boys will come
looking for me. Don't worry chief, like I said, Weahomer
you are my Role Model, you got my Vote....
