| Disgraced felon Thomas Ravenel. |
There is an adage that any publicity is good publicity. Ravenel who has exposed his life, and lifestyle on a barely-watched TV reality show, certainly puts that belief to the test.
On the show entitled “Southern Charm” Ravenel, 51, and a band of self-centered, look-at-me, cushy-life, lost-in-space cadets, tramp around Charleston. Disturbing decadence would be an understatement.
How many beers can you swill? And how many times can you act appalled that the females of the group have had “dates” with multiple males, or whatever else, in the worms-nest.
The show is appealing, only because of the beauty of the Holy City; not the un-holy gag-reflex Ravenel and Co. provokes.
So the fact that a conceited narcissist wants attention is not a surprise. If there is anyone who looks at Ravenel, with anything more than pity, or contempt, that would be unusual.
His plan to attack the Republican candidate for the US Senate is not so new either. Ravenel after serving time in prison has become a very liberal-like character. I think he threatened to renounce his US citizenship at one point, after getting out.
And the plan by the left, to siphon off just enough votes from the Republican, so the Democrat wins, is becoming more and more identifiable. It actually worked in the Virginia governor's race. But it failed in a Congressional contest in Florida.
That said: Graham is a PRIME TARGET of all third party upstarts, who want to help Democrats.
He certainly is not loved by Conservatives, and rightly so.
But Ravenel is a convicted felon, who was given the trust of the people, only to snort it up his nose.
Considering his track record, Brad Hutto, the democrat US Senate candidate, better watch out. Chances are Ravenel will bleed votes from the Democrat Party candidate, before any true Republican would fall for his PR charade. It's a made-for-the-ignorant political campaign, so Hutto, a democrat, better beware.
The overall assessment of the man, and the show, are accurate, but I respectfully take issue with the contention that his potential candidacy might harm the Democratic candidate. I believe that it just might harm the Republican one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being courteous. But Graham will win easily, I think. Ravenel is seen as a joke.
ReplyDeleteAnother Conservative, Third Party, candidate could hurt Graham but not that clown, imo.
In spite of the circus that follows him around, I have to say something in defense of his paramour. How rare is it for a young woman her age to want to have a baby, instead of an abortion? On a national stage like Bravo, where most of the women that get pregnant on their shows are about 48 years of age, and turned around to realize they now need fertility treatments from spending their lives living only for themselves, most of that time spent in a narcissistic frenzy of promiscuity, failed relationships, me-me-me, and only want a child when it is already too late. She picked a man with no heirs, with money to raise and educate the baby girl like a princess, and her eyes betrayed her--she was clearly in love with him, and I cannot imagine anything political had anything to do with it. They should have married, but it is not too late. She has been reviled by those who despise him, which is unfair. So here is my 'cheers and well-done' to a young mother, the mother and child we should all hold up as the very symbol of our love of God's son. She embraced that force of life in her youth, and should be commended for it.
