Well, another leftwing moron has gone and done away with himself, sort of a la Mitch Snyder. Hunter S. Thompson, whose drug-addicted crappola made liberals chuckle and feel good about sniffing large amounts of extremely expensive nose powder, has blown his own noggin' clear off:
Hunter Thompson commits suicide; "Fear and Loathing" author dead at 67
Hunter S. Thompson died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Woody Creek on Sunday night. He was 67.
Regarded as one of the most legendary writers of the 20th century, Thompson is best known for the 1972 classic "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." He is also credited with pioneering gonzo journalism - a style of writing that breaks tradition rules of news reporting and is purposefully slanted.
Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis, who is a close personal friend of Thompson, confirmed the death. His son, Juan, found him Sunday evening.
My condolences now go out to all the drug-crazed idjits who worshipped this loser.
