He..e..r..e's Roddy! It's The Blago Show
Once upon a time there was a man called Blago who sold seats even though he didn't own a furniture store. As a result he was arrested and made to stand trial in Chicago. The trial went on for many weeks. The jury had such a good time they didn't want it to end, so they spent weeks deliberating to keep from returning to work.
The jury eventually decided that Blago was only guilty of half of one of the 24 counts against him. They told the judge and were allowed to go home.
Blago was delighted with the result. He decided it meant he was a hero! He didn't understand that guilty meant he had done something wrong and that he may have to go to prison. Even though he was convicted of the same crime that put Martha Stewart in prison, he thought she was only there to decorate the cells and bake cup cakes.
Blago's men, Sam Adam and his imaginatively named son Sam, spent the trial attending acting classes. Guessing they might lose the case, they decided if they performed well enough they would get their own reality show, The Adam Family: Law and Disorder.
The good news is that because the jury couldn't make up their minds, the whole trial will have to start again. This time all the jurors will come from Madagascar, the only place in the world not to have heard about the case, which is the only way Blago will get a fair trial.
