      The enemy of your enemy is usually also your enemy too.

      And if you don't believe that, then we should get a group together to play Risk. For money.

      I wonder how this will play out...

      Jack: Mr. Bush, multiplayer kill-simulators are training young children to become killers.
      Bush: Kill...simulators?
      Jack: Yes. An example would be Counter-strike, where a player can be counter-terrorist or terrorist-
      Bush: TERRORIST!
      Jack: Yes, yes. Terrorist. And they play over the internet-
      Bush: The internets? Do they use The Google?
      JacK: Uhh...I'm sure they do...
      Bush: So The Google and the Internets are related to terrorists!
      Jack: Well, no...
      Bush: Put me through to Homeland Security! Every person found using the Internets will be taken into custody!
      Jack: Not what I was looking for...but works either way.

    My guess is that it's to prove that if Bush can be completely incompetent and misguided as President, then Thompson has the right to do so as a lawyer.
