Brinkley takes charge of HST Legacy, Inc.

brinkley42.jpgNice to see someone not wasting any time. Instant Hunter S. Thompson family spokesman Doug “just add water” Brinkley, who we told you here was jetting to Aspen with dispatch to get at least as much ink as the Doc, today tells the world that HST’s suicide was planned, and was not the result of a moment’s desperation.

Fishbowl would rather you shut up about it, actually, Doug, and let the man have his funeral. Who in the world cares what you think, even if Thompson did plan it? There are ways to insert oneself into a grief process. This is not one of them. And, by the way, that HST magic moon dust you hope will rub off on you? It won’t.
