Bernie's funda-mental defense

New York Daily News.com:

"If you thought Bernard Madoff’s $50 billion investment scheme was audacious, get ready for his alibi. Lawyers for the accused scammer are exploring an insanity defense, we hear.

“Bernie’s family and his attorneys may argue that, somewhere along the line, he had a mental break,” says a Madoff acquaintance. “They may even say he has a multiple personality disorder.”

Madoff’s grip on reality does show signs of slipping. The 70-year-old financier, now a prisoner of his East Side penthouse, wore a weird smile when he was photographed shortly after his Dec. 12 arrest. He’s also said to be taking a heavy dose of anti-anxiety medication."

The guy takes investors for $50 billion, dating back to the 70s, and the defense is "He didn't know what he was doing?!"

Uh-huh. And the Queen of England is Xeno, the Scientology lizard-dork from outer space.
