Wacko Jacko Found Not Guilty: Saddam Hires Lawyer

Thomas Mesereau, the shamanic witch doctor who successfully represented Michael Jackson in his trial for child molestation has accepted a contract to defend Saddam Hussein.

Mesereau has already been granted the right under the Geneva Convention to issue the fallen dictator with mini Don Rumsfeld, George Dubya and Paul Brenner dolls along with an assorted set of pins. Trials with the Corin Redgrave doll are said to have gone well.


Mesereau: Lawyer

Representatives for the now extremely rich lawyer said "Mr Mesereau has accepted a contract with Mr S. Hussein of Baghdad. He looks forward to proving the innocence of a great man who has killed hundreds of thousands of his own people, used poison gas to ethnically clense the Northern regions of… erm… maybe we'll be going for a procedural technicality on this one."

Sources close to the law firm have allegedly revealed that Mesereau will be paid in "vouchers for barrels of oil and sun tan lotion, which is apparently the going rate for anyone that helps out the indefatigable one".

The circus continues.


He's a humanitarian, and has been the victim of a series of violent, bloody revolts and conflicts. He never meant to be a dictator, it was a situation thrust upon him by his family. The reports that Saddam killed those people are all false. Yes, there were weapons involved, and the people found dead did have weapons fired at them under Hussein's instruction, but it was never with the intention of killing them.

It is expected that George Bush will attend the trial, and surprise everyone by speaking on Hussein's behalf, about what a wonderful ruler and opponent he was. Hussein is expected to arrive at the court in his pyjamas for no reason, on at least one occasion.


Public opinion has swung against the former golden boy and his appearance has changed dramatically over the past few years.

In his heyday in the 80's, Saddam was loved by the West but since a number of high profile incidents such as dangling Kuwait over his hotel balcony and sharing a bed with a controversial British politician his public approval rating has slumped.

The troubled dictator has also made a number of high profile changes to his appearance. As little as four years ago he appeared fit, tanned and well waving from the balcony of his ranch "ScudLand". His most recent public forays however show a distinct change in his appearances - he is pale and gaunt, and wears a wispy greying beard.

A hard core of his fans have stood by him throughout these tribulations. Many are now calling for not only the blood of his accusers, but for those around him who have used his position for their own benefit. Kofi Annan was unavailable for comment.
