I feel very sorry for his young daughter.
Yes he was,, He was also a drunk and drug abuser.

Loved his shows, not his politics, Every time I watch, he would be wandering the back streets at 3AM looking for epicurean delights in some obscure and distant foreign community,, Here was this big time traveling chief, crawling in the back allies, nobody spoke English, he usually had a local escort, always with his back to the camera.

Looking like he was just released from detox tank, Sitting on the curb, 1/2 smoke cigaret hanging from his lips, Raving about the blow-torch toasted monkey balls with Kimchi infused rats milk.

I kinda suspected he had a drinking problem until I read about the drugs?
