Hunter Thompson
All of these articles by conservatives blasting Thompson insist that their quarrel with him was that he was a hack, a journalistic phony and a moral degenerate whose popularity can be explained entirely by his generation's desire for a champion of egomaniacal indulgence.

But they're lying. Their real problem with Thompson was that he was all of these things and a great writer. If he were really just a hack, he would have had successful imitators. But no one has come close. Hell, even Thompson himself couldn't rip himself off over most of the last 30 years. His schtick, when he was on, was that difficult and subtle—even he didn't know how to reproduce it.

Он еще по совпадению издавал http://www.exile.ru - классический гонзо сайт о России.
