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..."

Duke is starting to look like one of those very old, tiny mafia guys (Myer Lansky) shuffling round Miami Beach with a walker.

Curse of Dorian Gray catching up with him?

It is hard to imagine that such a man could be elected in our TV Nation.

The guy can only wear so much make up.

But I suppose the camera men and the editors of the leftist networks can make sure only the best camera angles and most flattering shots make it on to TV.

Hunter Thompson looks like a bag lady.

Hunter isn't looking to hunter macho in those photos.

In each pic he has to hold onto the person next to him for physical support. He looks frail and feeble minded. Yeah way to go Kerry...snicker snicker

Nope, it's year of drug abuse, typical among the lunatic left fringe...they're self imposed curse, it's a good thing.

;) Yay!

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

His eyes do not track together.

This has bothered me from some of his first appearances.

...there's no denying the aftereffects of a piece of cosmetic work he had done yesterday. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee emerged from a morning of seclusion in Washington with two new pearly-white-capped teeth at a airport rally in Atlantic City. The noticeably improved smile is not only bright, it corrects the angled teeth and one prior miscolored cap. Ever coy, Kerry aides said he had the crown replaced on his right front tooth (previously lost in a hockey injury) and a new crown placed on the lesser tooth beside it (the focus of a recent root-canal procedure). Other than that, the aides insist he had his teeth cleaned but not whitened. Still, the high-wattage smile was apparent as Kerry headed off by helicopter for a fund-raiser at the home of rock star Jon Bon Jovi..."

I keep seeing Hunter Thompson referred to as "Dr." Does anyone know what subject is his doctorate in and where's it from?

On a completely unrelated note, I wish he'd get a new hat. The one he's wearing would look fine on a fishing trip, but nowhere else.

I use to think that Ozzie Osborne was the perfect "anti-drug" commerical. You just look at the man and listen to him and say, "you could look and sound like this if you do drugs."

In looking at Hunter S Thompson's photos he too might make a good anti-drug commerical. The years of abuse appear to be taking their toll as well.

I think its an honorary degree conferred by some journalism school.

Hunter Thompson is a sad echo from the psychedelic days of the 1960's and 1970's. He no longer can string consecutive thoughts together, but how could anybody tell anyway.

The "Doctor" degree is in "Gonzo" and is purely BS.

Kerry is related to Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Show.

Hunter has aged 30 years in the last 15.

He's hangin' with Kerry 'cuz they're giving him free booze.

Quote of the day, even if it is a tad misrepresented. Long live Uncle Duke!

Oh, c'mon. Kerry is too much of a pussy to play hockey. He can't even catch a football without closing his eyes....

Oh he plays hockey, he plays riding a bike, he plays snowboarding, he plays with other people's money. He's the consummate player you know, the new Renaissance Man, an Elite Lurch for the masses.
