… WONDER HOW THIS EPISODE WILL END?
|| By FITSNEWS || His political career is deader than a doornail, but on his disavowed reality television show Southern Charm, the Thomas Ravenel “comeback” is in full swing.
Ravenel launched his 2014 U.S. Senate bid on this week’s episode of the Bravo TV program – comparing himself to Calvin Coolidge at a swanky dinner party.
Really?
Coolidge was famously known by his nickname, “Silent Cal.” In fact a socialite once wagered she could get the conversation-averse president to say more than two words at a White House dinner party. His reply? “You lose.” And then he proceeded to remain silent for the duration of the evening.
“The words of a President have an enormous weight,” Coolidge once wrote, “and ought not to be used indiscriminately.”
Such reservation is clearly foreign to Ravenel, who spouts – and then retracts – opinions like a broken metronome.
At his dinner party, Ravenel’s campaign announcement is met with a mixture of odd looks, grimaces and chuckles. Oh, and Shep Rose – one of his wealthy Charleston, S.C. co-stars – remarks that supporting Ravenel financially would be like “lighting money on fire.”
Ha!
So … how does this story end? Do we really need a “spoiler alert?”
No … it ends in humiliation. Without putting too fine a point on it, Ravenel took a potentially viable independent candidacy and through the sheer, unrelenting force of his boundless insanity – turned it into a laughingstock.
Of course it wasn’t just his fault … he had some “help.”
For those of you keeping score at home, the second season premiere of Southern Charm drew an estimated 870,000 viewers – a tad below its first season average of roughly 1 million viewers per episode.
Last week, Ravenel railed against the show and his co-stars.
“I’m (d)oing everything I can legally to get off this ridiculous show,” he wrote on his Facebook page (where he frequently links followers to Bravo TV articles).
This week, Ravenel once again ripped into his cast mates for their “bad, unsouthernly behavior” toward his “beloved daugher and her mother,” referring to his daughter Kensington Calhoun Ravenel and his on-again, off-again girlfriend Kathryn Dennis.
“They’re not going to jump on their backs without crawling off bleeding,” he wrote.
Nice …
Will Ravenel be more successful attracting ratings than he was attracting votes? We’ll have to wait and see …

“The words of a President have an enormous weight,” Coolidge once wrote, “and ought not to be used indiscriminately.”
Apparently Obama has never read this quote.
FITS is the only one still watching that Stupid Bull-$#!t…
Ravenel may have enough life experience to carry the show. But those STUPID, uninteresting, puke, entitled kids, w/ him on the show, remind me a lot of the liberal FITS posters who hate me..
They are about as empty-headed and bland as a FITS-Obama minion…
FITS is the only one still watching? You sure seem to know an awful lot about the show to be a non-viewer.
ijs
I watched it to comment Dumb@$$…
Remember, you’re the F*#king idiot who says: ‘We have to pass it to see what’s in it”….How STUPID must you be???…
Is that sunburn or is he high as a kite on meth again?
DR. HENRY’S diagnosis: definitely not sunburn…..
Season 3 (if there is one) will be all about his fake efforts to get off of the show.
Apparently the bromance continues.
Dysfunctional as it may be…
Well, Sanford was elected to Congress, Haley was re-elected, Eckstrom was re-elected, Metts was re-elected for years, Owens was re-elected, Frazier was re-elected and Haley fooled us eagain, just like Obama, so what is new with the Republican Party?
And when you think it can’t get worse, Heard Bob Peeler wants to run for Senate too!
He actually approached me once talking of running against Shealy, or Cromer. I told him he had too much baggage.
Sick, pathetic bunch.
We need all new blood. The old is infected and tainted and probably carrying multiple STDs!
Why waste valuable electrons on turds like Ravenel?
I will give you a dollar if you will stop writing about this prick.
I heard Sanford paid 40K a year to prop this site up – after he fired FITS…..So Sanford could attack his enemies, and keep the Impeachment-seekers off his @$$….
Now reprobates like Ravenel, Ervin and ‘Pootlian probably pay FITS about 20K each a year for FITS favor…
All FITS really wants from Mindless minions like you..is continued blind allegiance…and NAZI-like loyalty…As long as they can control the stupid…it’s worth a certain amount to them….
your tinfoil hat is crooked
Yeah…everybody is crazy but You, RonPaul, FITS and Obama…LMAO…
How much did you get paid for your blog? Oh… sorry.
So you’re saying I can’t be bought…but you will Suck-off a hack who is bought and paid for…
Says A LOT about you…and your character….LMAO..
Your blog got shut down because you could no longer afford the $70/yr. to host it.
Blog’s still there Dumb@$$…Not shut down…
Oh, my mistake… I guess nobody bothers going there so it might as well be shut down.
“I will give you a dollar if you will stop writing about this prick.”

Please. Stop.
“…potentially viable independent candidacy…”
Oh my God…someone please tell Will that you can put everyone in the entire state who believes this in a high school football stadium (Hell, you can put everyone who *voted* for TR in Williams Brice and let ’em each bring a date). I mean, Brad Hutto got ten times as many votes! TR was only “viable” as a candidate in the crazy, alcohol-soaked, hubris-driven fantasy world in which he lives. Apparently FITS visits there enough that it rubbed off on him.
well said
“Ravenel took a potentially viable independent candidacy and through the sheer, unrelenting force of his boundless insanity – turned it into a laughingstock.”
I’ll tell you what is laughable. What is laughable is your statement describing his candicacy as viable.
once again Thomas the shit on my paddock boot says hello. Matthew could give you 50 lessons and U WILL STILL SUCK @ POLO. Only man(?) in the history of the USPA to be permanently rated -7!!!!
He is no longer young, cute and charming. He needs medication. He needs to learn to shut his mouth.
He has aged at least 10 years since last season. He was on Andy Cohen’s late night show Watch What Happens Live, and he was absolutely hammered and just looked like an old man.
come on, can someone just come out with what is wrong with him already? I know some people here have to know what is up.
