Ah good ol' Jackie Boy, aka Mr. Jack Thompson, is at it again...or is he still at it? All these things just blend into one at this point. Really, what happened, could you never get Mario to the end of three levels and beat Donkey Kong. Anyways, now Thompson wants to subpoena George Bush. Why? Beats me, and seemingly everyone else. Maybe it's like people who want to climb a mountain and when you ask them why they say because it's there.
From the article:
Embattled attorney Jack Thompson filed documents with a federal court in Florida yesterday, requesting to subpoena President George W. Bush for a deposition in what appears to be an increasingly desperate fight to retain Thompson’s license to practice law.
The controversial attorney, facing a pair of ethics complaints (see below) filed by the Florida Bar, will stand trial before a referee appointed by the Florida Supreme Court beginning on November 26th.
Thompson is currently suing that referee, Judge Dava Tunis, along with the entire Florida Supreme Court and the Florida Bar in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
So where does The Decider (seen at left in full Madden regalia) fit into the case?
That’s not really clear. But the linkage - at least in Thompson’s mind - seems to be that the Blank Rome law firm represents video game industry defendants in Strickland vs. Sony, an Alabama lawsuit alleging that an 18-year-old was acting under the influence of Grand Theft Auto when he killed two police officers and a police dispatcher in 2004. And Blank Rome - or at least some of its partners - are also lobbyists as well as heavyweight Republican donors.
