Hunter S. on George W.

"[George W. Bush] knew who I was, at that time, because I had a reputation as a writer. I knew he was part of the Bush dynasty. But he was nothing, he offered nothing, and he promised nothing.

"He had no humor. He was insignificant in every way and consequently I didn't pay much attention to him.

"But when he passed out in my bathtub, then I noticed him. I'd been in another room, talking to the bright people. I had to have him taken away."

-- Hunter S. Thompson, writing about meeting George W. Bush at a Super Bowl party in 1974
