Actually, I thought the Nixon remark was ludicrously assinine, as is the article. I loved Hunter in his heyday at Rolling Stone, but reading this article just makes me feel sad at how badly he wasted his talent for social (not political!) commentary. Hunter was never much of a pundit, but his "analysis" of the Nixon Republicans and the Washington Redskins was some of the best social commentary ever written in the US.

But this article is really crap, when you know what Hunter has done in the past, and what he was once capable of writing before he pickled his brains with a thousand addictions. It is just one more pathetic pro-Kerry/anti-Bush rant, and not even a very good one at that.

Which just makes me sad, like I said. There isn't another Hunter on the scene these days, and that includes Hunter. Which is depressing.
