Ack, I foresee the judge sentencing Blagojevich to a couple years for corruption… and life without parole for the “artist” for murdering art.
And whats up with that Malcom X fight the power fist thing he’s got going on there?
Do you think they swore him in with a bible or a koran?
Holy crap, I think that picture was a mural at my high school in Berkeley that was meant to depict the multicultural work force marching toward modernity!
Slide #9 was the scariest of them all.
That first one is of Ringo Starr and Richard Nixon, right?

I was going to make exactly that comment. Indeed, in light of this skecth, I have to conclude that his lawyer was in fact actually doing the robot in court. There is no other explanation.
That artist stole my style! It looks just like a sketch I did of my dad when I was 10.
#5 Why are they putting children where they can’t see and learn?
#8 17 jurors and all crammed into a wooden tub. But at least they have an American sailboat to play with.
#12 Yes, they’re all doing the Robot! {curse you for saying it first!}
#19 The Secret Answer
#21 This is how I win at Space Invaders
#35 Where did I leave my dog?
#67 So, are you going to put your coat over this puddle for me or not?
#80 Now I know how to get around security!
#94 Now watch as she’ll bend over backward for me
For some reason I thought they couldn’t draw the jury members. Maybe he just made them up; that would explain why you have Obama in there.
The sketch artist, for those interested, is Verna Sadock.
#81. Blag can’t even astroturf right.
I thought of that too, except in a more socialistic way (like if the Soviet Union wanted to show off its ethnic diversity).
Are there really 17 people in the jury box?
He’s waiting for the 12 highest bids to come before letting the rest to.
I like how the woman in the center has a head twice the size of everyone else’s.
Surprisingly, that part might be accurate. Many juries seat alternate jurors alongside the official jurors. That way if any jurors are dismissed during the trial, the alternates are fully informed about what’s occurred.
No explanation for the kangaroo. But they can paint him out.
“Attorney doing the Robot” was my first thought on seeing #3 as well.
Seriously though, I know very little about painting as an art form, but those remind me of some famous painter I’ve seen before. Not Picasso, someone else. Anyone?
There were 12 jurors and 6 alternates, for a total of 18, sworn in.
Oh! I think I see what the artist was going for; a funny Straight Dope thread!
Check and mate
Is it just me, or does everyone have the same jawline?
