Hey Rube : Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine & the Downward Spiral of Dumbness

[9780330510745]

For decades, Hunter S. Thompson galvanized American journalism with his acerbic wit, radical ideas, and gonzo tactics. He continued his reign as 'the Unabomber of contemporary letters' ("Time") with "Hey Rube". Fear, greed, and action abound in this hilarious, thought-provoking compilation as Thompson doles out searing indictments and uproarious rants while providing brilliant commentary on politics, sex, and sports - at times all in the same column. Filled with critics' favorites, as well as never-before-published columns.
