Running campaign, high on cocaine
Joo-lee-an-ee up an, fired mah ass. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, I don’t really care cuz, coke blows my mind.
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.
The millionaire is accused of buying less than 500 grams of the drug to share with other people in late 2005, U.S. Attorney Reggie Lloyd said. Ravenel, 44, is charged with distribution of cocaine, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
The investigation into Ravenel arose from a drug case last year in Charleston, Lloyd said. State Law Enforcement Division Chief Robert Stewart said his agents were aware of the allegations before Ravenel was elected in November, but they didn’t have enough information to pursue criminal charges. The case was turned over to the FBI in April.
“The investigation is just beginning,” the federal prosecutor said.
Thomas Ravenel is also the state chairman for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign. Giuliani’s campaign issued a statement saying Ravenel had stepped down.
Yeah. I can imagine that phone call. “Rudy, I’m calling to tell you that///” “I already know, asshole, and you’re fucking so fired. I’m running for god-damned President of the god-damned United god-damned States of god-damned America here you dick. I will throw you a bone though. We’ll just say you stepped down. Be thankful I don’t have you killed.”
Who even does cocaine anymore? Who does this guy think he is, Bud Fox snorting lines off Darien’s tight young ass? It’s not 1987, dude. Up your shit, bro. Ritalin. Meth. Something.

I don’t know… the wife and I still enjoy the “club scene” and the number of people I know who do a line now and then is… substantial. And it seems like everyone else is doing “E”. Personally, I don’t do drugs (other than alcohol) - not for moral reasons, I just can’t afford the associated downtime. When I do have free time I’d rather do something other than being all crashed out. It’s just not worth it. Other people want to live their lives that way, well, that’s their choice.

no matter what, they all end up dead, in prison or in a drug treatment center. why do they do it? for those 5 mins - 1 hour of ‘joy’ and 1 day of not-knowing what happened? why do they do it?

I think ol’ Rudy would get some serious street cred if this shit for brains just happens to quickly and quietly disappear. What a tool.
