hunter s. thompson's political writings are genius. if you simply think of him as a drug-addled old crank -- well, you're partly right. but let no one say he led an uninteresting life. let no one say he did not contribute to the american zeitgeist. hunter s. thompson, as a political journalist, always sought the core of the matter, and that's a rare commodity these days. so thanks, hunter. you're a fucking jerk to go out this way, but thanks.
