MEMO FROM THE NATIONAL AFFAIRS DESK
DATE: MAY 1, 1994
FROM: DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON
SUBJECT: THE DEATH OF RICHARD NIXON: NOTES ON THE PASSING OF AN AMERICAN MONSTER.... HE WAS A LIAR AND A QUITTER, AND HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BURIED AT SEA.... BUT HE WAS, AFTER ALL, THE PRESIDENT.
Hunter S. Thompson, had he not blown his own brains out, would have been 76 years old today. Let's celebrate by reading his beyond scathing Rolling Stone obituary of Richard Nixon (via The Atlantic)
Thank you so much for that link. Best thing I have read this week. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteI really don't think he liked Nixon, huh? It's how I feel about Margaret Thatcher.
They're both gone now, thank goodness.
