Comments on: Politician Charged With Coke Distribution

Indictment Accuses South Carolina Treasurer Thomas Ravenel Of Distributing Cocaine, Starting In 2005

Ravenel's a right winger? What ever do you mean?
This is an eleven paragraph article, with a title and a sub-title. Nowhere in the title or sub-title does it say Ravenel is a Republican let alone Giuliani's presidential campaign state chairman. Not in paragraph 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, nine...er... well, whaddya know?

Cocaine is a totally unacceptable drug for anyone. Marijuana is what should be made legal. But now illegal is what they are. The holier than thou republicans who claimed all religiousness for themselves are the worst of all time. The republicans in the senate and house are still rubberstamps for Bush. They have forgotten how to think for themselves and sure are not brave enough to do so. Pathetic.

Another dirty right winger, where will it all end?

Don't we have just one honest one?

[realpatriot1]

Wake up! He didn't just do coke, he dealt coke!

Maybe Rudy's the client.

[harp1963]

He'll get Paris Hiltons lawyer and be out in two weeks. Laws don't apply to rich connected people. They can traffic cocaine. Poor dope dealers go to jail. That's life in America.

The man is 44, that mean he grew up in the 70's, of course he does coke. We may as well come to terms that almost everyone currently between the ages of 35 and 65 has has at least some experience with drugs. Most won't admit it, like they really didn't inhale, but I'm sure most of our younger politicians have either used or continue to use. I'd prefer one that did so they'd be better able to relate to the public.

Last year Thomas Ravenel's daddy got a $1 billion bridge crossing Charleston's Cooper River named after him -- "The Arthur Ravenel Bridge." There is a town in South Carolina named Ravenel. Streets, schools, pathways, gardens named after Ravenel, all "paid for" by South Carolina taxpayers. Ravenel trades on his name, big time. Now maybe we should name a grade of cocaine after the man: "I'll have a Ravenel hit." The Ravenel family is very wealthy. Thomas Ravenel was BORN wealthy.

Thomas Ravenel, born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, used it to shovel cocaine.

Since the Ravenels enjoy their reputations as "blue blood" French Huguenots, plantation- and slave-owners, maybe now, after the bridge-naming for the old man, we can have a prison named after the son.

Ronald Rangoon didn't even put a dent in the war on drugs, all he did was make criminals rich and those addicted worse off.
