Hunter S. Thompson said:
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.

Karl Rove, the president's political wizard, felt even worse. There is angst in the heart of Texas today, and panic in the bowels of the White House. Rove has a nasty little problem, and its name is George Bush. The president failed miserably from the instant he got onstage with John Kerry. He looked weak and dumb. Kerry beat him like a gong in Coral Gables, then again in St. Louis and Tempe -- and that is Rove's problem: His candidate is a weak-minded frat boy who cracks under pressure in front of 60 million voters.

Ah, good to see the old boy writing again. Obviously hasn't lost a beat. But wait! It gets better:

Dr. Thompson said:
The Republican establishment is haunted by painful memories of what happened to Old Man Bush in 1992. He peaked too early, and he had no response to "It's the economy, stupid."

Which has always been the case. Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard Nixon comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous "trickle-down" theory of U.S. economic policy. If the Rich get Richer, the theory goes, before long their pots will overflow and somehow "trickle down" to the poor, who would rather eat scraps off the Bush family plates than eat nothing at all. Republicans have never approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to preindustrial America, when only white male property owners could vote.

:lol :lol :lol

Well, there goes his credibilty. He's a moonbat.
It's time to RUMBLE, young man, RUMBLE.

If you don't have blood on your hands by the end of a campaign for the Presidency of the United States of America, YOU AREN'T TRYING HARD ENOUGH.

And bitch, please. Bush would be only too happy to call off the elections. Remember Ridge saying they might have to be postponed? Yeah.

It's a much more amusing piece to read when you imagine it being read by Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Hmmm. And with that, I think I'll show myself the door, as it's probably going to get very hot in here.

Actually, you're right. I forgot the LieBald fix was in. Bush is going to cruise to an easy "majority" victory on Nov. 2.

FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

Say Makura, how old do you happen to be? I hope your ass is in shape for your deployment in a couple years. My blind, fat ass will be laughing from the underground freedom caves. Viva la Revolucion!

You like what he's saying about your boy Ralph?
No. But Thompson and I are kindred spirits, stone drunks in love with guns and liberty, and I have a sense of humor about my marginalized candidate.

I will also be laughing from my gay, crippled, psychiatrically-loony cave (in Canada, if needs be) at you. Viva WA!

The odd thing is, I tried to join the Air Force several months before 9/11. I was rejected because my right knee locks up. Well, basically.
