The pajama pundit on Hunter S. Thompson

The "Pajama Pundit", The one true Tami has a refreshing analysis of Hunter S. Thompson's commentary in Rolling Stone.

His Rolling Stone article is a little hard to get in to, since it starts out doing the kind of steamroller approach that I think of as "fooling yourself". It works by saying the thing that you want to be true out loud, over and over again, even if it's a blatant lie.

Sounds like Hunter has stolen the technique developed by Karl Rove and the neo-cons.
