He also has to pay $40k+ in fines. He has 30 days to appeal, I'm sure that'll go over well.

Yep, America's favorite (soon to be former) lawyer sent an email (via attorneys as he's forbidden direct contact as part of a law suit settlement) to the mother of the CEO of Take Two Interactive, who are about to release another chapter in the Grand Theft Auto series, saying that her son is part of the Hitler Youth and that she obviously wasn't a good biblical mother raising him.

Gotta love Jack, he's a great source of humor!

According to Wikipedia, GTA has sold 70 million copies. If Jack is correct, why aren't there 70 million dead people around and 70 million game buyers and players in prison for murder?

For those who haven't heard of Jack, he's made a legal career out of trying to sue computer game developers because of their brain-washing and "training kids to be cop killers". The Florida Bar has finally had enough of him and are in the process of disbarring him. So, in his defense, he's subpoenaed George & Jeb.

Yeah. The President is trying to torpedo a Florida lawyer. I can see that. NOT.

As much as I can't stand the current administration and what it and previous administrations have done to this country, I can't see blaming Bush for this one.
