Judge Joe is not a real judge? No? This shakes my faith in the entire television-justice system:
The case is set to be dismissed, AP reports. Remember how it all began? Kindly Judge Wapner, with Rusty the Bailiff? Rusty carried a gun on that show. He had a holster with a pistol. Probably wasn't loaded, but I wondered what would happen if someone went nuts and charged the bench. There'd be nothing between vengeance and Wapner but Rusty.
I prefer Judge Judy - whose bailiff, by the way, isn't "Burt." His name is Byrd. The original name of Judge Judy's show? "Hot Bench." She didn't like it. I would give anything to hear her chew out the people who came up with name. IT MAKES ME SOUND LIKE I'M HAVING MENOPAUSE FLASHES UP THERE. TRY AGAIN.
