Thompson knew were he stood. In 2003's "Kingdom of Fear," he wrote: "We

not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear

. . . . No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or

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.

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.

He worked for his spoils, they didn't fall in his lap unlike some
spoiled children who had everything handed to him.

Bush is a "butt boy" for the rich. Just because you hold that against
HT, doesn't make it untrue or, as you said, a piece of original
thinking.

He had many incredible insights as was proven over a lengthy history of
selling his creative efforts.

I recall when he, William Greider and PJ O'Rourke travelled to Little
Rock to meet the Democratic candidate for President, Bill Clinton.
Thompson wrote something about how Clinton buried his head in a basket
of fries and how he could make out a soft snorfling sound (like a pig
would make). I nearly fell out of bed laughing. He definitely had a
unique way of seeing the world.

Sounds like you feel about Hunter Thompson the same way I feel about Pat
Robertson.

Hunter Thompson? What socially redeeming action has he ever performed?
