Thompson wasn't happy about Bush's re-election, of course. It's almost
impossible to describe the contempt he held for this president. He
called Bush a "butt boy" for the rich, he compared him unfavorably to
Richard Nixon, and he seemed both terrified and embarrassed by the
notion that the American people might actually want Bush to be their
president. Writing for Rolling Stone about Bush's performance in his
first debate against John Kerry, Thompson said: "It was pitiful . . . .
I almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him 'Mr.
President,' and then I felt ashamed."

Thompson predicted that Kerry would beat Bush in November, and he feared
what the alternative would say about America. "The question this year is
not whether President Bush is acting more and more like the head of a
fascist government but if the American people want it that way,"
Thompson wrote in Rolling Stone. "That is what this election is all about."

Thompson knew were he stood. In 2003's "Kingdom of Fear," he wrote: "We
have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world -- a nation of
bullies and *******s who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are
not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear
in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us
.. . . . No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or
we'll kill you.

I find it interesting that all these tributes to Hunter Thompson are
to a man who, in retrospect, was probably one of the most degenerate
public figures in modern American history.

Not to mention that he would probably just as soon shoot you as look
at you.

Sounds like he did the *right thing*.

I wonder what was the last thing to go through his mind.

Hey, if they can spend a couple of weeks talking about Regean being
the greatest president since Lincoln, no reason not to liken Thompson
to Ghandi.

ROTFLMAO!

Good one B(ubble)B(rain).

How many times are you going to post this same cut and paste (2 separate
threads already)? How much money have you contributed to the estate?

Do you have a real life besides the one you show here (reflecting your
constant hard on for GWB and the fact you cannot accept his re-election?)

May I suggest:

1. Get a real life...they are now on sale.

2. Live it.

Have a good night.

Great wisdom coming from a pill-popping acid freak that put a cap in
himself.
