Conservatism Did In Hunter S. Thompson
Hold the presses....
We now have another charge to lay at the door of the Bush administration.
Outlaw, druggie, Dunhill-smoking, Chivas Regal-drinking, anti-establishment literary icon Hunter S. Thompson committed suicide after becoming depressed about the United States' shift toward conservatism, said one longtime friend who spent the weekend at the Aspen, Colo., home of the late "gonzo" journalist."He was depressed about the state of society," said Loren Jenkins, foreign editor for National Public Radio in Washington.
A vehement opponent of President Bush, Mr. Thompson, 67, "was feeling maudlin about the current conservatism sweeping the country," Mr. Jenkins said. "He felt he'd had a long run, trying to create a freer society in the '60s and '70s and he felt it had all been closed down."
This is not surprising to those of us who have long suspected that Bush is to blame for everything.

If Nixon was HST's "foil" to fame, then it's only proper that W and the Republican Revolution was his downfall..Yin=Yang.
