Kerry invited Aspen resident and writer Hunter S. Thompson to ride in his motorcade and brought three copies of Thompson's book about the 1972 presidential race, "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail" for autographs."Just to put your minds all at ease, I have four words for you that I know will relieve you greatly," Kerry told the fund-raiser. "How does this sound -- Vice President Hunter Thompson."
it's not fair to tease like that

It's good to know Kerry has a sense of humor.
As your attorney I advise you to vote. Often. And buy more grapefruit.
I assume carnivorous plants will be members of the cabinet?
Indeed. Bad craziness.
"Vice President Hunter Thompson"

OK, what we need now is
- The Kerry/Thompson '04 bumper stickers
- The campaign slogan
The mind reels with possibilities....
I would pay a lot to see Thompson debate Cheney.
Hell, I'd pay to just see Thompson disembowel him.

Thompson has some of my most favorite email quotes! lol, i love reading stuff by the guy. It's too bad that kerry was only kidding.
I saw a bumper sticker recently that said something along the lines of 'remember when all we had to worry about was our presidents sex life?'
Dude I would pay good money to watch thompson slip the un hits of acid!
He had that rare weird electricity about him -- that extremely wild and heavy presence that you only see in a person who has abandoned all hope of ever behaving "normally". -- Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
