-
- First of all, Jim is apparently Swedish.
- Second of all, it is very nice to make fun of the President, as long as he
- is expected to survive the fun. To quote a very valuable piece of information
- I received in email some years ago:
-
- >From an interview of Hunter Thompson by P.J. O'Rourke:
-
- Q. Recently you told a college audience at Marquette University,
- ``George Bush should be killed. He should be stomped to death, and
- I'll join in.'' .... How did the students react?
-
- A. Hey, they cheered! Then I called for a voice vote. It was
- two-thirds to stomp him. Meanwhile some fucking maniac recorded it
- and took it to the Milwaukee Journal. And the U.S. attorney in
- Milwaukee was about to indict me on two felony charges: five years for
- threating the vice-president and another five for inciting others to
- do it. ... I started getting calls from the Secret Service.
-
- Q. Did you answer any of those calls?
-
- A. Not at first, because I thought they were cranks. If it was
- important, they'd leave a message. And then the Secret Service showed
- up at the Examiner and at my lecture agency. I realized they were
- serious. So I called the Secret Service guy in Denver, Larry Hoppe.
- And he was very nice. And I said, ``What's going on here, man?'' And
- Hoppe said, ``Dr. Thompson, let me tell you one thing: I would advise
- you not to go to Washington without talking to me first.'' So I said,
- ``Come on over. What the hell.''
-
- Well, we talked for a while, and by that time Hoppe knew it was a
- joke. I said, ``Have times changed? I've threatened to drag people
- around Washington by their nuts behind Oldsmobiles at a hundred miles
- an hour. I've advocated the slaughter of all politicians. What are
- the guidelines now?''
-
- He had a pretty good sense of humor. He said, ``Well, you can't say
- that he should be strung up. If you say that to people, WHAP! Ten
- years. You can say he should be tarred and feathered.'' And I said,
- ``Wait a minute. I don't grasp it. What's the difference?'' And Hoppe
- says, ``I don't know. That's the way it is. Don't go out anymore and
- threaten to string George Bush up or stomp him to death.''
-
- Q. Now, to what level of public figure does this extend? Take somebody
- I really hate, like Meese. Meese is not an elected official. Can I say
- that somebody should slice Meese open and wrap his intestines around a
- phone booth?
-
- A. No, you probably can't. He should be flogged -- just not to death.
-
- Q. What if we said Messe should be fucked by an elk?
-
- A. That's apparently harmless as hell. I believe that Ed Meese --
- being a person without any honor, a fat bastard, really a congenital
- cheap pig in the style of and on the level of Richard Nixon -- should
- be locked in a large concrete basement with an elk. And the elk
- should be ram-fed full of acid before he's put in there.
-
- Q. An angry, horny, acid-crazed elk.
-
- A. Meese is naked, and the elk is huge, maybe 800 plus.
-
- Q. Elk can be ugly customers.
-
- A. And once they're full of acid, and they're really horny -- oh yeah,
- all night long!
