No Fear, Just Loathing: Hunter S. Thompson Campaigns with FrankenKerry
AP via Yahoo! ^ | 6/21/04

Posted on 06/21/2004 3:23:06 PM PDT by dead

"Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered
blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored
uppers, downers, screamers, laughers, also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case
of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls... and I was still bored to tears
after five minutes with this guy..."

Actually, the caption was really:

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), D-Mass., at left, greets locals before departing from Aspen-Pitkin Co./Sardy Field Airport in Aspen, Colo. on Monday, June 21, 2004. Second from right is author Hunter S. Thompson, who accompanied Kerry on his visit in Aspen. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)

But I took liberties with it, just because I could.

And his eyes appear to have been randomly applied to his face.

And so, as "White Rabbit" reached it's final crescendo,
I lashed the toaster into Kerry's bath....or was that supposed to be a grapefruit.....it's been a long trip...
...anyway I didn't tell him about the Manta Bieoch, I figured
he would see her soon enough. Don't worry about Bush I said, he's NOT like the Clintons.

It also appears that one eye is substantially higher than the other.

My exact same thought, and I'd never noticed that before. For heavens sake.

I've heard of people who can raise one eyebrow, but not one EYE.
