    What I find truly disgusting is that this sorry excuse for a "journalist" is getting so much coverage and attention. Come on, New York Times: surely you can find more worthy and less disgusting people to cover.

      I’m actually not sure how I feel about this. His depredations are uniquely awful, but they don’t seem to be an aberration from mainstream conservative politics. More like its logical conclusion.

      It seems like less the "logical conclusion" than an argument ad absurdum mixed with an unrestrained, rampaging id.

      Honestly, the guy seems mentally ill.

      Oh it’s from one of his Coolidge YouTube videos, which are the only source of clear photos of him that we can legally use.

    Charlie Johnson is one of the worst people I've ever met. I first encountered him in 6th grade. That was the first combination of the four elementary schools in the town into one middle school. Anyway, some time had passed. I cannot recall how far into the school year it was. I knew about Charlie. He was one of those people everyone pretty much avoided. He was strange. I don't know that anyone called him a friend. We were at the point where I didn't like him, and he didn't like me either. So there must have been some previous encounter between us that was unpleasant. But I cannot recall that instance. Any previous encounter was erased by what occurred in our science class one afternoon. We were scheduled to watch the film "Stand And Deliver" starring Edward James Olmos. It's the one where he teaches inner city kids Calculus. I sat down and for some reason Charlie sat directly to my left. We weren't friends obviously and wouldn't normally be near each other. I tried to ignore the fact that he was there and watch the movie. But he was being a pest. We didn't make it too far into the film before he threatened me. I questioned the resolve of his threat. What happened next really surprised me. Charlie pulled out a ballpoint pen. From where I didn't see. Then he immediately jammed it into my kneecap. It happened very abruptly. He started muttering something to me in German with anger in his eyes and funk on his breath. Then he withdrew the pen. I immediately stood up, walked over to the back of the room where my science teacher was and explained what happened. I don't think she believed me until I raised my pant leg over my knee and showed her the bloody spot Charlie put in my knee. She called him over. He admitted he did it. But then he tried to blame it on me. My science teacher sent me to the nurse's office. As far as I know, Charlie was never disciplined for this incident.

    You may wonder why Charlie muttered to me in German when he stabbed me. The only explanation I can give is that he did so because he knew I was Jewish.

    At some point, Charles announces that he sticks to Asian women because they value intelligence, which means he can get a higher "grade" of woman. Not a completely ridiculous comment

    Oooooooo, so close but then you shot yourself in the foot there.

    While I'm no doctor, I can attest it's pretty hard to urinate with an erection and it gets harder the more erect you get. I also vaguely remember something about how the bladder is locked off when you get an erection but, again, not a doctor.

    So, I suspect the peeing thing is made up. Either people actively disliked him enough to make up the story, or he made up the story to seem cool. I'm not sure which is worse.

      Exactly! My immediate reaction: he's full of it. But of course, that assumes he could have an erection.

    For what it's worth, I grew up in Wrightwood and don't recall ever seeing any sheep anywhere in the vicinity of town. There are some wild mountain goats up the mountain a bit, but I doubt they'd let anyone get close to them, let alone...

      It sounds—sounds—like whoever owned the sheep in question owned only one sheep.

    I can forgive Gawker's lapse here because, as we all know, sometimes when chasing a story you have to discard the facts briefly in order to reel in your reader. I mean, Chuck himself has gone by that on several occasions so I'm sure he can appreciate the effort here.

      He got sent a questionnaire by "journalists at Der Spiegel" aka some Germans who wanted to fuck with him. He answered all the questions (including the poop one) but did not even acknowledge the one asking him if he was married.

      I'm assuming, and there is no evidence to the contrary, that it is because he is married to the sheep he used to fuck. And I deeply apologize to any sheepfuckers who might take umbrage at me counting Chuck Johnson as one of their own.

    I love that Gawker is investigating Johnson with journalistic integrity (citing and confirming sources). The irony isn't lost on me.
