Actually, I had no idea this guy even existed until this story came out.

He's a conservative (fool in my opinion) who is semi-famous for being an ineffective drug czar and a hypocritical big-stakes gambling addict.

He was also Secretary of Education under Ronald Reagan in the 80s.
A classic blowhard, I remember him writing/talking about a list of the great books in the Western Canon (ah, the fondness of some folks for lists). I was surprised that I had read many more of these books than he had. But when I learned that he was a high stakes gambler who used a lot of his money from lectures and book sales at the casinos, I understood why he had little time to read.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against gambling, but when a person makes big bucks pointificating on virtue, and how the rest of us should behave, and doesn't use a lot of that money helping people in a virtous fashion, but instead blows it on casino gaming, they are a hypocrite of a high order.
