Hunter S. Thompson on George W. Bush
By
He knew who I was, at that time, because I had a reputation as a writer. I knew he was part of the Bush dynasty. But he was nothing, he offered nothing, and he promised nothing.
He had no humor. He was insignificant in every way and consequently I didn't pay much attention to him.
But when he passed out in my bathtub, then I noticed him. I'd been in another room, talking to the bright people. I had to have him taken away.
-- Hunter S. Thompson, on meeting Dubya at a Super Bowl party in Houston in 1974

The scene, Thompson's 1974 Superbowl party in Houston:
Thompson claimed to know a thing or two about the president's partying past. In an interview with The Independent in 2004, Thompson said he remembered meeting Bush at Thompson's Super Bowl party in Houston in 1974. He said that Bush was "with a guy who had come to sell . . . " but then cut himself off. "Look, I'm not going to put this next sentence on the record. Let's just say that 'a friend of mine' was buying cocaine. I have friends in Houston from all walks of life. Lawyers. Professional men. Bush was hanging around with this crowd of what you might call gilded coke dilettantes."
Party on, Dubya! I hang with sellers too, more freebies that way.
Been expecting to hear that Thompson was actually murdered over his latest investigation.
Let's cross some boundaries shall we?

From Toronto's Globe and Mail:
"Hunter telephoned me on Feb. 19, the night before his death. He sounded scared. It wasn't always easy to understand what he said, particularly over the phone, he mumbled, yet when there was something he really wanted you to understand, you did. He'd been working on a story about the World Trade Center attacks and had stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive charges set off in their foundations. Now he thought someone was out to stop him publishing it:
"They're gonna make it look like suicide," he said. "I know how these bastards think . . ."
Anonymous quotes come from cowards or liars.
As a heterosexual male reporter ALL I want for Christmas is a picture of Wonkette and Kelly Ann kissing while showing their tits!
As a heterosexual male I strongly agree with Jeff Gannon's comment.
Heterosexual quotes come from cowards or liars?
anonymous quotes also come from people with excellent senses of humour who are trying to get a rise out of people like you.
i truly hope this is who we are dealing with.
thanks anonymous!

Oops! Guess Thompson wasn't a very good judge of "significance"...

Nice blog Valleri.
It needs to be pointed now that the Toronto Globe reporter has admitted he had no such conversation with Thompson. It was a "what if I had spoke with him earlier" fiction.
Great find, Kelly Ann. Just added it over at my blog. Gave you your proper credit.
Love the "bright people" line.
Hunter S. Thompson died of 'writers block' long before he pulled the trigger.
Jeff Gannon (also known as Milton deVille) is a defrocked CIA agent.(Check Chapter six "The Devil In Lucia")
I didn't need to find George Dubya Bush passed out in the depths of my bathtub to fathom out he didn't have a sense of humor.
