As with the original, Thompson still concludes with the thought: "Now I am really ashamed to carry an American passport."

THEN LEAVE AND STAY OUT!

ESPN gave Hunter S. (the Nazi's weren't that bad) Thompson a pass whereas Rush Limbaugh lost his sports commentator job.

"Now I am really ashamed to carry an American passport."

Awwwww....

Then why doesn't he go somewhere else and get a different one?

Without intoxicants he'd be an unknown.

The appeal of Hunter S. Thompson and his writing totally allude me. I plodded through his book "Better Than Sex," waiting for some flash of brilliance or insight. I got neither. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" wasn't worth the ink used to write his drivel.

"Hunter can go too far sometimes," the Bristol-based ESPN employee told the DRUDGE REPORT.

If that's how he FEELS, that's how he FEELS. Why the need to clean it up? The whole point of HST is that he's "gonzo."

It is a darn shame he doesn't have the moral perspective to put the Abu Ghraib torture in context: in no way does it come close to the Holocaust by any reasonable measure. Even American troops did far worse during WWII.

These horrifying digital snapshots of the American dream in action on foreign soil are worse than anything even I could have expected

Sissy boy was never in a fraternity.

Not even the foulest atrocities of Adolf Hitler

It's getting harder and harder for these lame columnist to over-hype their work. It's like a competition, if I say the devil times ten, you say the devil times twenty. These mediocre writers are trying to sensationalize their way to
top of their profession. It's the shock jock mentality.

So let me get this straight: Rush Limbaugh saying Donovan McNabb was overrated by the liberal media was too controversial for ESPN, but Hunter S. Thompson is A-OK.
