REALITY SHOW STAR NOW SAYS “HE’S GOT THAT STUFF I WANT”
|| By FITSNEWS || Just yesterday, this website posted an item in which former S.C. Treasurer, current reality television star and failed U.S. Senate candidate Thomas Ravenel blamed his ignominious 2014 defeat on the founding editor of this website.
“In looking back at my last race, the biggest mistake I made was hiring Will Folks,” Ravenel wrote on his Facebook page. “Several people warned me that he was an extortionist and one person told (me) that after he left me he was on my opponent’s payroll to destroy my campaign (I have no proof of this but it rings true) and even enlisted the help of my ex girlfriend Kathryn Dennis. With friends like these who needs enemies. One gal sent me an a FB message claiming that she had to get two restraining orders against this creep. I should have listened to my friends. Live and learn. Die and forget it all.”
Nice, huh? Of course Ravenel’s campaign never hired Folks, although it did purchase (and then yank) advertisements on FITSNews.
Anyway, Folks – as is his custom – responded with tongue firmly implanted in cheek, referring to Ravenel’s botched candidacy as their “shared love child.”
Anyway, “upon further review” Ravenel has reconsidered his initial barb and offered some follow-up thoughts. This time he expresses admiration for Folks – saying “love him or hate him, he’s got that stuff I want.” Ravenel even compares “Sic Willie” to Ronald Reagan.
No really …
Take a look …
I tried to take a shot a Will Folks yesterday and oddly enough I was damn impressed at his response which was not mean at all. and realized why I wanted his help in the first place despite the naysayers. As I read his story I came away with three possible conclusions:
1) I missed some of his hot buttons
2). He was just trying to get hits for his website, or
3). The guy has developed a level of self confidence and self validation that nothing I say or for that matter anything anyone else says gets under his skin.
For his sake, I hope it’s number three which is a place I’d like to be but to be honest it’s going to take a lot of work.
Or, perhaps it’s a combination of 2 and 3 which is fine too; the man’s got to make a living. Also, I doubt I’ll throw arrows his way again. What’s the point?
Love him or hate him, he’s got that stuff I want. Reagan had it. Teflon. But, I’ve got to work for it. Having a child has made me want to work not on fixing the government but on myself first.
Sometimes wisdom comes to you from the most unlikeliest places, even from erstwhile enemies.
Hmmmm …
The critique of our founding editor aside, that’s a remarkably logical, self-aware statement, isn’t it?
We think so …
The only problem? It’s invariably only a matter of time before the logical, self-aware Ravenel gives way to … someone completely different. So we await the next swing of the pendulum … along with the season premiere of the second season of Ravenel’s reality show, Southern Charm.

Like sands through the hourglass …
The recollections of one Thomas Ravenel with appropriate flashbacks and soliloquy. Or more simply stated, the evolution of a losing candidate. The cycle of going from dessert to dust. The metamorphosis from being a potential Senator to an ingredient in someone’s soup. It can only happen …. in the Twilight Zone.
Funny coincidence…Just published a Twilight Zone spoof about Will and the Donald

“he’s got that stuff I want”…
That applies to Boz too….right?
LMAO!!!
A pendulum would be regular, symmetrical, predictable, and with each swing starting off slowly but obviously.
Get a room you two.
You mean you three. You left out Trump.
Or you five, counting Bit T and Flip.
Sounds like your typical abusive relationship. Makeup sex is the greatest.
It really is like watching “that” couple everyone knows…fighting one day, awkwardly pawing at each other and making out in public the next. Creeeeepy…somebody needs to cut somebody loose.
Lock FITS, Boz and T-Rav in one room with Dr.Phil and Jerry Springer. What a show.
Talking about one’s self in the third person denotes a false sense of self importance. Plus, you just look like a sad douche.
Trikki Nikki refers to herself in the 3rd person frrquently.
“The guy has developed a level of self confidence and self validation that nothing I say or for that matter anything anyone else says gets under his skin.”
No, he just doesn’t care about anything…so long as he gets PAID.
Reckon it depends on whether or not he just snorted a line.
“I tried to take a shot a Will Folks yesterday and oddly enough I was damn impressed at his response”
So….you’re Will’s bitch now?
Bizarre
A “fifty two year old narcissistic, drug dealing, philandering, baby daddy, Peter Pan” wanting to “…work on himself first…” and modeling that process on a “chubby, forty two year old, ne’er do well, narcissist”.
Yeah, that’ll work – not.
Graham is no different. In fact, Graham is a super douche bag narcissistic bag of doggy poo.
I just found out ConsumptionJunction.com is no longer out there, but whatever took it’s place needs to be ready for uploads from these two jilted “personalities”.
Wonder who wrote TR’s statement
Ravenel sounds like a ding-a-ling.
He’s GOT to be using again to act this way.
Why do you think he ever quit?
THOMAS RAVENEL ON WILL FOLKS?
So Will Folks IS a bottom.
Charlie Sheen Much???….
2 TOTAL F*#king IDIOTS, for sure…LMAO…
2 TOTAL F’#king IDIOTS…
I take it tou’re the “half” man?
Will spell it out for you
B-I-P-O-L-A-R
I agree on the Bi part
FITS will be P!$$#d that one his most ardent and blind disciples has turned on him…
I’d love to be a sugar bowl on the table at the coffee klatch of the Liberal-Tarian Convention when you two encounter each other….LMAO…That will be entertainment…
What the fuck – how many times does your mother have to be told not to let you eat Fruit Loops before noon
First – I have not been ardent since the dosage on my blood pressure medication was increased
Second – ain’t blind, yet
Third – if you were to become a “bowl”, it certainly wouldn’t be a sugar bowl – a toilet bowl yes
Fourth – how you can take my comment that T-Nut is nuts is a slap to willie is $$(%@# to say the least
He’d love to be a sugar bowl? Why am I not surprised?
That may have been a nickname from his past.
Drug induced psychosis.
This is better than the Eckstrom/Payne soap opera!
We’re gonna wake up one morning to headlines: “Former SC State Treasurer and Gubernatorial Candidate Found Dead.”
By line: “Ravenel dies from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
This guy is bat-shit crazy.
That thought passed through my mind when T-Rav said, “You die and forget it all.” He’s the sort of guy who has a lot he’d like to forget.
Speaking of which, what ever happened to Andre Bauer?
Andre-Who?
“Anyway Folks-as is his custom-responded with tongue firmly planted in cheek…”
Who’s cheek is he talking about? Donald Trump’s?
Barf.
Was there any white powder residue in his nose at the time he made the follow up remarks?
What a beautiful story…..I’m weeping.
Time to crank up The Stylistics…
It takes two like T-Boner and sic(k) willie…
…two turds of a feather, to flock-up together.
As our Funding Editor said from the beginning, sic(k) willie and T-Boner-Rav-Not deserve each other. Both are flock-ups.
sic(k) willie got a few checks from T-Boner, and T-Boner will be writing child
support checks for at least 17 more years. Can’t wait for the sequel.
Wonder if this will be a chapter in the book that sic(k) willie has been promising and promising and promising?
Come on sic(k) one, where is that book?
BIN News
t-rav exhibits many hallmarks of mind kontrol. my theory is fatass fits is his handler as well as handler of kat (beta kitten) sex slave.
The bromance is really heating up here. What are the buttons Rav missed, Will? sounds like the stuff National Inquirer is made of……..mmmm. Fill us in. Briefs or boxers? cut or uncut? and ………..how BIG????????
Get mixed up with politicians and this is what you get, I don’t think it should be a surprise that you’re getting ripped by a mentally unstable person.
This constant on / off Bromance is worse than Comptroller Creepy’s relationship with Kelly Payne. Good Grief!
I wish you two crazy kids would just clear all the china off the table and fuck already.
big cry baby
I’m not clear if Wills goal is to jerk himself off more or Thomas Rav.
The funniest thing is that Folks writes this as if someone gives a sh*t.
