- GONZO TOP COP SEARCH
-
- -- Look out, Aspen, Hunter Thompson wants to help pick your next police
- chief.
- Mayor John Bennett may have been kidding when he suggested
- that the renegade resident be named to the panel interviewing
- candidates. But Thompson's not.
- "I'd be happy to help in any way I can, short of acceping the
- job myself," the gonzo journalist told the Aspen (Colo.) Daily News.
- Bennett floated the idea after reports that the city manager
- intended to name to the search panel a member of the Aspen Partnership
- for a Healthy Community, an anti-alcohol and drug group.
- Thompson has flaunted his use of both substances, and
- complains that the panel is starting to look like a group "selected by
- Dan Quayle."
- "We don't need somebody to come in and clean up the mess," he
- told the newspaper, "because we don't have a mess."
- As it stands, the idea of Thompson joining the search
- committee remains a joke. But City Manager Ann Margerum says she just
- may expand the five-member panel.
