He doesn't even have the sense to avoid bragging about a friendship with an accused rapist.

He absolutely was a pig toward women, early in his career but got right, married a great girl, has a family and does his share of good things in the community. NOT SAYING some of the things he did were ok, but he grew up and is a decent person now.

AND addressed this issue already.
