Finally!!

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's thoughts on the US election.

I was going to quote you some selected extracts, but fuck it, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from quoting the whole thing.

God bless the good doctor for existing, and god bless him for still chucking straight talkin' clusterbombs like that into the face of US media monotony.

I hope with all my being that he's called it right this time.. his analysis of Bush's forthcoming loserdom is totally sweet, and his 'good horse sense' has proved fairly reliable in the past. Let's all hope and pray (to our own twisted primal heathen gods obviously, not Bush's fucking mad stupid bloody cartoon daddy god).

One quote? Oh all right, one quote;

Richard Nixon looks like a flaming liberal today, compared to a golem like George Bush. Indeed. Where is Richard Nixon now that we finally need him?

If Nixon were running for president today, he would be seen as a "liberal" candidate, and he would probably win. He was a crook and a bungler, but what the hell? Nixon was a barrel of laughs compared to this gang of thugs from the Halliburton petroleum organization who are running the White House today -- and who will be running it this time next year, if we (the once-proud, once-loved and widely respected "American people") don't rise up like wounded warriors and whack those lying petroleum pimps out of the White House on November 2nd.

Nixon hated running for president during football season, but he did it anyway. Nixon was a professional politician, and I despised everything he stood for -- but if he were running for president this year against the evil Bush-Cheney gang, I would happily vote for him.

You bet. Richard Nixon would be my Man. He was a crook and a creep and a gin-sot, but on some nights, when he would get hammered and wander around in the streets, he was fun to hang out with. He would wear a silk sweat suit and pull a stocking down over his face so nobody could recognize him. Then we would get in a cab and cruise down to the Watergate Hotel, just for laughs.

And remember, remind your friends, paste it on billboards, yell it in the streets, make sure everybody knows that, regardless of politics;

Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, in no particular order, and he is no fun at all.
