“For years I've regarded (Nixon’s) very existence as a monument to all the rancid genes and broken chromosomes that corrupt the possibilities of the American Dream; he was a foul caricature of himself, a man with no soul, no inner convictions, with the integrity of a hyena and the style of a poison toad. I couldn't imagine him laughing at anything except maybe a paraplegic who wanted to vote Democratic but couldn't quite reach the lever on the voting machine.”
This was written by the late journalist Hunter Thompson on Richard Nixon, former president of the US. It is undoubtedly one of the most vitriolic pieces of writing I've ever read in my life.
