Dr. Hunter S. Thompson comes down from a mountaine on high to tell us how it really is.

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?

Quote:

That was the year I first met him, at a riot on that elegant little street in front of the White House. He was yelling into a bullhorn and I was trying to throw a dead, bleeding rat over a black-spike fence and onto the president's lawn.

We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out of the White House because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon -- which wise people said was impossible, but so what? It was fun. We were warriors then, and our tribe was strong like a river.

That river is still running. All we have to do is get out and vote, while it's still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.

I believe you mean, "Dr. Hunter S. Thompson comes down from a 'high' to tell us how it really is."

Nah, he came down from the mountain to get 'high' and tell it how it is.

Great article. He may be high, but Hunter is more in touch with reality than Bush and his supporters.
