From what I have seen so far, everything people are going crazy about are things Hunter wrote about in his book. So at least people know he wasn't making that stuff up, I guess. We know he was addicted to crack and alcohol. We know he enjoyed the service of sex workers. We know that he thought he was outsmarting his father, Joe, at every turn. Some people call that the Crack Mentality. He wrote about that in his book, too. And he talks about it.

The skinny dipping video is a non-story. People do that sort of thing. There are beaches and resorts, and private back yards, where that kind of thing is done all the time. Hell, adults sometimes get "daring" and do that in more public places. But it doesn't usually reflect on an adult's parents. Unless of course there are videos of Joe following him down the slide (which would be hilarious), this was a nothing burger.

The one thing that actually connects directly to Joe Biden is the "Pedo Pete" contacts entry. The Tom Clancy character has already been described so we know where the "Peter" name came from. I think the Pedo part is in reference to that period when Republicans were calling Joe a pedo for his (albeit unusual) hair sniffing habit.

So none of this is actually shocking. It's turning Hunter bashing into a spectator sport, though.
