 I beg to differ. As a die hard fan of Hunter Thompson I'm upset that people
missed the whole point to the Murder in High Places theme. 
Thompson character was played by the guy who played Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.
The Pres. character was a parody of Gary Hart, the town, Aspen... and so on.

While it had it's moments it could of been better. It was still good, for a network.
I saw no relation to TP, only to the reality of Aspen and Thompson.
