| Liberia’s Taylor to Announce Resignation of Presidency Thursday |
| 2003-08-06 |
| Liberian President Charles Taylor will Thursday formally announce his intention to resign and is expected to take asylum in Nigeria, Mohammed Ibn Chambas, head of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), said Wednesday. Everyone is saying Chucky intends to resign, except Chucky. "There will be a joint session of the (Liberian) Senate and the House of Representatives tomorrow," Chambas said at a news conference. "The ceremony is for Mr Taylor to inform them of his intention to resign. I will expect Mr Taylor to take the offer to come to Nigeria," he added, referring to an offer of asylum made by the Nigerian government. Anyone want to put money on it? |

| #8 Chuck just doesn't have a good "feel" for this 'retirement' thing. Somebody needs to give the poor boy a hand - with a grenade in it. |

| #6 I can see Chuckles resignation news conferences as having a life of its own and being a cottage industry. I can see reporters setting up a pool for the date Chuckles actually does resign. |
