Stupid, On Many Levels

From CNN.com:

GREENVILLE, South Carolina (AP) -- South Carolina
Republicans say the Democrats owe them beer money.
In April, Anheuser-Busch
Co. -- based in St. Louis, Missouri -- wrote a $5,000 check intended for the
state Republican Party.
Instead, the envelope was addressed to the state
Democratic Party, which promptly deposited the money.
Now, state GOP leaders
say the South Carolina Democratic Party needs to return the beer money they are
owed.
Democrats say the check is in the mail.
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."
She said the company is working with both parties
to resolve the situation.
Democrats say they have sent a refund check back to
Anheuser-Busch: "Nobody should expect us to write a check to the Republican
Party," said Lachlan McIntosh, the Democratic Party's executive director.
The
GOP said the refund was sent only after it threatened a lawsuit.
