Via Wonkette we learn that Fear and Loathing 2004 is coming....gonzo journalist Hunter Thompson will be joining the campaign trail to write a book about the 2004 elections.

Thompson voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. But he made it clear he favors Kerry this time, and plans to train his savagely satirical rhetoric on Bush, providing the Secret Service lets him anywhere near either candidate.

Hunter is recuperating from a broken leg and finishing an article on Lisl Auman, whose felony murder conviction appeal is under consideration by the Supreme Court. Hunter has been a steadfast supporter of Lisl, who was sentenced to life in prison without parole under the felony murder rule for the killing of a police officer even though she was sitting in the back of the patrol car when the shooting occurred. The shooter, after killing the officer, then killed himself. Hunter is responsible for getting NACDL, former Sen. Gary Hart and Minn. Gov. Jesse Ventura to support Lisl.
