Been meaning to dig out that issue of RS...interview was at a greasy spoon called Doe's Eats, if memory serves...and it does. HST was pretty adamant that he was taken in by Clinton in the last blurb that I saw on the subject.

Try reading The Great Shark Hunt...a little less Gonzo than some of his stuff.

My recall on that interview was that Hunter Thompson and PJ O'Rourke cut up like Beavis & Butthead in the back of the classroom while RS Editor Jan Wener "serviced" Bill Clinton under the table (figuratively).

Hunter certainly took issue with some of Bubba's "ideas" (like setting up a system based on India's banking system to aid poor people) but quickly fell silent after getting off a one liner here or there.

Hunter still ranks Richard Nixon as the worst. He now puts Bill Clinton up there with him but I think that he still puts Reagan and Bush and Bush ahead of Clinton in his venom (I saw it in some British magazine).

I think that Hunter did some campaign word for Jimmy Carter. Yeah. There was a brilliant president < /sarcasm >.
