WormHole Square Mayor, Sharon Brody, has been under investigation for corruption for months.  Yesterday, she faced the press with hired PR guys, Bento and Johny, in an attempt to clear her name.

                 “The video of me smoking crystal meth with the ghost of Marion Barry has been overblown.  After all, smoking crystal meth is not illegal, as long as you don’t exhale, as long as you’re a Democrat … and as long as your partner is not of this world,” she said.

            Mayor Brody has also been charged with accepting $200,000 in bribes of gift cards intended for needy children.  In exchange, she awarded a 5 million dollar, no-bid, road work, contract to her uncle’s nephew’s baby-mama step-sister-gurl-in law’s fraternity brother’s Loyal Order of Water Buffalos.    The scope of work was to repair seven potholes along South Broadway.

             Bento then raised his hand and inserted,  “Those were some very, very, very… very deeeeeeeeep potholes, I assure you.”

              Johny then added a quip for pseudo-factual good measure.  “Yes, fall in one and you’ll end up in New Zealand, I’m told.”

              Faced with additional video evidence, Mayor Brody remained defiant.  “These absolutely damning slam-dunk, guilty as sin videos, mean nothing.  I will fight all of these spurious charges until my last breath!”

              The Mayor was then reminded that in WormHole Square, even inanimate objects have a voice, and that several potholes had already agreed to testify against her.  That is when Mayor Brody hastily left her office under the whispery, ghoulish chants of the ghost of Marion Barry.

           “Those bitches set you up!  Those goddamn bitches set you up!”

               Mayor Brody was reportedly seen later clutching her passport as she drove her white Mercedes Benz head long into a pothole along South Broadway.
