Hunter S. Thompson lives!

Friday November 7, 2008

Categories: Britain, Media

You've got to see this video of a drunken British correspondent for the Birmingham Mail, high as a kite and filing his election-night copy from a Miami sidewalk, admitting that he's plagiarizing the whole thing, and profanely resigning his post. It's a scream:

My hero! Alas, he's no Christopher Hitchens, I'd wager.

A wonderful reminder never to be on the wrong side of a video camera when one is a bit beyond the Thomist point of hilarity. Really, really funny.

Adam Smith, our tipsy Brit scribbler, is a great (honorary) American.

There are two more related videos, and a craploads of gleeful British press coverage. In other words, there's SO MUCH more to this story. And in the second video, he expresses a love of this country that Sarah Palin couldn't even call into question.
