Madoff To Hire Ming

Bernie Madoff's attorneys are now considering an insanity defense for the great man(they really are), and plan to hire Ming to aid in that effort.

Naturally barrister Ming shows up in his very best peruke prepared to cite precedent, plead, plea bargain and make a general nuisance of himself while collecting an outsized fee based not on his efforts but on the size of the client's wallet.

Insultingly, all they really want is for Bernie to study Ming so as to give credence to his plea while in the courtroom. Drooling is of course de rigueur as is twitching manfully. Evidence of tourette syndrome, while no sign of insanity, does lend itself to the image if sundry expletives present themselves randomly in stentorian tones. All Bernie really need do is slavishly follow Ming's example and he should give a bravura performance.
