Tim Worstall: Thomas Ravenel

Ravenel was considered a raising political star. At 44 his political future seemed bright, but now he will not be allowed to hold public office.

Given the current trend in republican politics, one wonders if he will change his plea, re-nig on stepping down, and swear that what he did was not even a crime. He has some fine examples to follow in that regard..ala Craig and Vitter. Romney, Mc Caine, and Guliani sure show fine judgement in selecting people to head election committees. If they get elected one wonders if this will be an indication of who they choose to run things...AG office, SC justices, FEMA, HLS, Secy of Def., Secy of State,...etc.

We already have a boob doing that, we don't need yet another. Excuse me. We already have a boob being told how to do that, we don't need another.
