...this is just too good.
Gov. Mark Sanford has suspended state Treasurer Thomas Ravenel after it was announced Tuesday the Charleston Republican had been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to possess with the intent (to) distribute cocaine.
Federal and state authorities made the announcement in a news conference at SLED headquarters this afternoon.
According to the indictment, beginning in 2005 - before he was elected state treasurer - Ravenel conspired with Michael L. Miller to possess with intent to distribute cocaine.
If convicted, Ravenel faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million.

Ravenel in April was named the state chairman for former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s presidential campaign.http://www.thestate.com/136/story/96446.html---
