Truth is Easier
Hi There. I’m sitting here at my computer waiting for Hillary’s live webcast to check it out.
Here is a bit from an interview from Rolling Stone. I published the unpublished parts in the Woody Creeker last year. It’s about the truth: P.J. O’Rourke interviewed Hunter for this in 1987:
HST: I’m a great fan of Reality
P.J. Well, it’s all right as far as it goes.
HST: Truth is easier
P.J. Than making up stuff?
HST: Yeah.
P.J. I suppose it is, how do you say, more truthful.
H.S.T: And weirder. And funnier. Not all the time, but you can fall back on the truth. You can’t fall back on a story you made up because, by the time you’ve done it, you’re starting to wonder if it is good or funny or right. But if it’s the fucking truth…
P.J. …it is the truth
H.S.T. Yeah. And that’s why I like it. I’m lazy.
Hillary is on now. Her answers so far are a little longer winded than Bill Clinton’s. But it is good so far in that she is showing her tough, intelligent senator side — I have already been thinking about supporting her. It will be interesting to see what her poll numbers will be tomorrow. Tomorrow her webcast continues at 7pm EST www.hillaryclinton.com
Okay.
Until next time, your friend,
Anita Thompson
