Fear and Loathing, Campaign 2004

·

Hunter S. Thompson is the greatest: Four more years of George Bush will be like four more years of syphilis. Only a fool or a sucker would vote for a dangerous loser like bush. He hates everything we stand for, and he knows we will vote against him in November.

and, “Did you see Bush on TV, trying to debate? Jesus, he talked like a donkey with no brains at all. The tide turned early, in Coral Gables, when Bush went belly up less than halfway through his first bout with Kerry, who hammered poor George into jelly. It was pitiful. . . . I almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him “Mister President,” and then I felt ashamed.”

Hunter has lots to say in this long but fun, funny, poignant article.
