The craziest man to ever be declared sane, Jack Thompson, has pulled one of his wackiest moves yet as he has filed to subpoena George W. Bush for a deposition in his bid to keep his law license. Thompson of course is facing the loss of his right to practice law, thanks to him being something of a complete pudstick and facing two ethics complaints from the Florida Bar. The trial begins on November 26th and surely will provide hilarity, especially if Jacky Boy's attempts to call Bush to the stand is any indication of what we're going to see. GamePolitics has the scoop, as per usual, and this is Jacky Races' statement on the matter:
I have already sent the George and Jeb Bush subpoenas to Referee Tunis for her signature. She may run on this, but she can’t hide. She must sign the subpoenas, as her filing [of the Thompson Bar complaints] with the federal court has made the testimony I seek in the depositions of both men highly relevant to my Bar defense.
If the President’s position is that I do not get to depose him while he is in office, then I would note that Paula Jones' lawyers were able to convince a federal judge otherwise. If President Bush is successful is convincing the court that I must wait until he leaves office, that’s something I am prepared to do.
As GamePolitics points out, this could be a shrewd move on the part of Thompson Directory. If Thompson has to wait until Bush's presidency is up, that gives him until 2009, effectively stalling the whole humiliating process. Of course, that Jacky Brown thinks George Bush has any real reason to appear when most politicians don't even know who the hell he is indicates a logic that only he could fathom. Looks like someone's running out of ideas.

I really, really, really want to see how George W. Bush can provide any testimony that is even remotely relevant to his defense.
Jack, does something productive with your life man, you'd be haveing more success in telling INDIVIDULE mom's their kids can't play videogames. In all the time you've wasted with this lawyer shit, you could of gotten a Physcology license and takled this issue on a more personal plain.

2) If the whole world can't bring Bush to trial for more serious matters like wire tapping and torture, what makes him think he can?
Bill Clinton didn't even appear in the flesh on the stand during his own freaking IMPEACHMENT trial, FFS! What the hell makes Thompson think that GWB is actually going to show up?
I'm very well read on the politics of today
I'm with ya. This isn't the place to get political, but I might have laughed more at Mechmonkeys statement than JT's subpoena.
Wait ... do we WANT that nutter to have even more free time?
Well the chap was saying that if the briket hit's the toaster the chap's monocle is going to fall off in the breiny tea bag. The crumpet over cooked the bloaks steamer and he went all wahhey wahhey and had a boiling post of anger stew.
Got all that mate?
He's not suing the president, He's requesting that the judge order GWB to court to testify.
Thats the joksy stuffs. What could the president possiblytestify about in JT's disbarment hearing? He's got his head so far up his ass, he thinks he can subpoena the president to testify on his behalf.
Maybe they're buddies? It would explain alot of things.
Quick, someone photoshop JT in there.
*entertaining.
get on that photoshop. You are lord of the shop
I like it. I like it a lot.
Obviously this is a matter of national security and deserves our leader's full attention though.
i'll be watching CNN all November!!
“Oh, you want me to take time out of my day to appear and testify in your trial? Srsly? Sorry, but I gots to run a motherfucking country, son. GTFO!”
I think he's great. A true legend of gaming. We should embrace him rather than disgrace him! Who's with me?
