    He does a modern spin on gonzo journalism that I think works pretty well. I guess it shouldn't surprise that just like Hunter S. Thompson, he's a sex creep.

    But you know, the worst I ever heard about Thompson was that he would get drunk and make weird passes at his neice. he once threw a drink at and pushed over a woman when she refused to get into a hot tub with him. Still very bad, but not "accused of sexual assault by multiple women" bad.

      Fuck. I didn't know about that until now.

      I enjoyed a lot of HST's work, but I'm not going to treat defend him if he was a creep. :hst-pissed:

        I think you can acknoweldge that Thompson was all at once a very insightful writer, broadly on the side of oppressed peoples, and kind of a jackass in his personal life.

          Agreed. That's why I said I wasn't going to treat defend him. I can read him like I read Zizek. :zizek-preference:
