New York – Joe Jackson filed an emergency request with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan requesting permission to immediately take charge of Walter Cronkite’s estate to ensure the famed newsman’s legacy would be protected. “We workin’ a deal with Blu-ray,” said the Jackson family patriarch in a rambling, incoherent press conference on the steps of the courthouse, “and ain’t no way Debbie Rowe can take care of them kids.”
Several members of the Jackson family later distanced themselves from his remarks, and a spokesman explained, “Look, he’s an old man and he was up late the night before beating – I mean reading - bedtime stories to Michael’s children.” Jermaine Jackson is known to want the broadcaster buried at Neverland if it would in any way revive his career.
In a related story, a spokesman for Cronkite’s family said “Walter is just eager to get in the grave and start spinning, weeknights at 6:30, 5:30 Central.”
