Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005) on the Iraq War & the Bush Presidency

On Sunday the founder of ‘gonzo’ journalism, died at the age of 67 of an apparent suicide. Today we are air a Jan. 2003 interview Thompson gave on KDNK in the Roaring Fork Valley in Colorado. An excerpt: “Bush is really the evil one here and it is more than just him. We are the Nazis in this game and I don’t like it. I am embarrassed and I am pissed off. I mean to say something. I think a lot of people in this country agree with me–a lot than that are saying anything…we’ll see what happens to me if I get my head cut off next week—it is always unknown or bushy-haired strangers who commit suicide right afterwards with no witnesses.” [includes rush transcript]
