I’ve never thought of myself like this, but someone just reccomend me on LinkedIn:

Details of the Recommendation: “Let’s face it LinkIN, modern political writers are boring and straightlaced. In the good ole days, reporters all had a little gonzo Hunter Thompson in them. They drank too excess. They cursed and swore in public. They hung out at seedy establishments, etc. I’m not saying Jeff is any of these things but, he is a pretty entertaining writer. If there is a ever a cocaine & gay sex scandal involving the Colorado state GOP, Jeff will report on it and say something hilarious. In fact, aren’t we overdue for a cocaine & gay sex scandal with the Colorado state GOP?”

This is the third or fourth time I’ve had someone compare my political commentary to Hunter Thompson, which is cool and all, except I’m not sure I really like the guy. He once threatened to run a million dollar campaign against a candidate I was working for. Seemed like kind of a jerk, but then maybe that’s an apt comparison?
