Republican Thomas Ravenel indicted on drug charges

Republican Thomas Ravenel indicted on drug charges


South Carolina's Republican Treasurer, Thomas Ravenel, has been indicted on federal cocaine charges. I wonder what kinda of spin will come from the Rudy Giuliani campaign since Ravenel is the state chairman for Rudy's presidential campaign. You know, the same Rudy that Vitty-cent has endorsed. I think Oyster is right, it's the gift that keeps giving.

South Carolina Treasurer Thomas Ravenel, a former real estate developer who became a rising political star after his election last year, was indicted Tuesday on federal cocaine charges.

Thomas Ravenel is the state chairman for the Giuliani campaign, and had been urged by conservatives to oppose Senator Lindsey Graham (R-McCain's Lap) in the Republican Primary. The son of popular former Congressman Arthur Ravenel, Jr., his indictment is sending shock waves through the state.
