Observation from Hunter S. Thompson on the "clubby" relationship between politicians and journalists

1. Another prescient item from HST

Interesting how much is both wrong and right with this article. He ponders an estimated 20,000 dead!

It's very eerie how he foretold exactly what the USA and GWB would do after the attack.

"The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives."

And this from The Onion on GWB's January 2001 Inauguration is even more prescient;

Don't mean to hijack, I've loved HST since the early 70's. His insights and understanding of politicians, especially about Nixon, is remarkable in it's accuracy.
