South Carolina Republicans Are Confirmed Dumbasses

Thanks FARK.

The latest dispute between the two political parties began in April when St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch Co. wrote a $5,000 check intended for the South Carolina Republican Party.

Instead, the envelope was addressed to the state Democratic Party, which promptly deposited the money.

Katja Zastrow, Anheuser-Busch's regional director of governmental affairs in Washington, said in an e-mail statement that the check went astray "through a series of administrative oversights."

"Administrative Oversights" = we were too drunk to realize we mailed the check to the other guys.

The real question is why Anheiser-Busch is sending money to political parties, and why the government affairs director is involved.

AB has a PAC that sends money to candidates and parties, but the corporations themselves are, I believe, not allowed to.

Because the GOP wants their hands on every thin dime they can get their hands on, and corporations pay for tax breaks.
