Again we see the rare, exotic anti-video game attorney in his natural habitat. His lies get torn apart by some entity, he claims to have been libeled, and plans to sue. What else is new about Jack Thompson?

This time, however, Jack was too busy talking with a Samuel L. Jackson impersonator, believing it was the real thing and later claiming he knew it was fake all along. The funny part? MSNBC didn't libel Thompson at all; instead, they quoted him directly out of his FOX News appearance.

Writing for MSNBC, contributor Winda Benedetti casts a critical eye toward Miami attorney Jack Thompson’s claims that the NIU rampage was sparked by a grown man’s video game play. From Benedetti’s piece:
