The Disposable Heroes Of Hipoprisy: Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail

Last week's American election was the most dramatic in recent history. For the first time in a generation, there was a chance that the Republicans would be swept out of office on a wave of profound disaffection with the rambling uselessness of George Bush.

And no one was more active in the run-up to the final poll than the Disposable Heroes Of Hipoprisy. ANDREW SMITH joined them in San Francisco and the gangland war zone of South Central Los Angeles as the presidential campaign went into its final hours.
