Hallelueah! It's the return of Dr. Thompson!
Hunter S Thompson has a sorta different gig nowadays, as a sports columnist for ESPN.com. But it looks as though the political climate in this country is too juicy for the Great Man to resist. Read and be awed:
When I went into the clinic last April 30, George Bush was about 50 points ahead of his closest Democratic opponent in next year's Presidential Election. When I finally escaped from the horrible place, less than three weeks late, Bush's job-approval ratings had been cut in half -- and even down into single digits, in some states -- and the Republican Party was panicked and on the run. It was a staggering reversal in a very short time, even shorter than it took for his equally crooked father to drop from 93 percent approval, down to as low as 43 percent and even 41 percent in the last doomed days of the first doomed Bush Administration. After that, he was Bill Clinton's punching bag. Richard Nixon could tell us a lot about peaking too early. He was a master of it, because it beat him every time. He never learned and neither did Bush the Elder.
But wow! This goofy child president we have on our hands now. He is demonstrably a fool and a failure, and this is only the summer of '03. By the summer of 2004, he might not even be living in the White House. Gone, gone, like the snows of yesteryear.
The Rumsfield-Cheney axis has self-destructed right in front of our eyes, along with the once-proud Perle-Wolfowitz bund that is turning to wax. They somehow managed to blow it all, like a gang of kids on a looting spree, between January and July, or even less. It is genuinely incredible. The U.S. Treasury is empty, we are losing that stupid, fraudulent chickencrap War in Iraq, and every country in the world except a handful of Corrupt Brits despises us. We are losers, and that is the one unforgiveable sin in America.
We can only hope he turns that elephant gun on what's left of this White House. He took aim last time we were this bad off, and helped bring down a president.

YES YES YES! Gotta wonder, though, how long he'll have a job at ESPN if he keeps firing off missives like that.
ABC/ESPN could've put this American treasure on NFL telecasts. Hell, he was already on the payroll. No, we get an American disgrace instead.

Now THERE'S an idea.. they could have a panel with THompson and Limbaugh. Pretend it's really about sports. Watch the blood fly. It really would make for very entertaining television.
