My recall on that interview was that Hunter Thompson and PJ O'Rourke cut up like Beavis & Butthead in the back of the classroom while RS Editor Jan Wener "serviced" Bill Clinton under the table (figuratively).

Hunter certainly took issue with some of Bubba's "ideas" (like setting up a system based on India's banking system to aid poor people) but quickly fell silent after getting off a one liner here or there.

Hunter still ranks Richard Nixon as the worst. He now puts Bill Clinton up there with him but I think that he still puts Reagan and Bush and Bush ahead of Clinton in his venom (I saw it in some British magazine).

I think that Hunter did some campaign word for Jimmy Carter. Yeah. There was a brilliant president < /sarcasm >.

They(PJ and HST)may have percieved Clinton as the fool he eventually revealed himself to be. In spite of having endorsed him, I don't really think HST figured he could win. Better to back a Dem and lose than a Pubbie and win in his circle, no doubt. Kinda the approach that the DNC took in the war(note to DNC: wrong again, assholes.) Good ol' Jann Weiner...I think the last 2 RS issues that I squirreled away were the Clinton endorsement and the Gore endorsement issues...the guy can sure pick 'em.
