When we say that Democrats spend money like drunken sailors, we meant it figuratively. It turns out, though, that at least some Dems take it literally. The video below shows Missouri State Auditor Susan Montee socializing at the recent Democrat Days in Hannibal, MO. As you can see, she is a big fan of the margaritas, which amusingly are made by the Steelworkers’ traveling margarita machine. (There is a phrase we never thought we would write.)
About 3 minutes in, the Ms. Montee, remember a Constitutional Officer, hits on the brilliant idea of getting a margarita machine for her state car. Of course, the machine would be paid for by campaign contributors.
“Margarita Machine…Fundraiser”!
The jokes write themselves, but there is a very serious issue here. Ms. Montee, remember, is the state Auditor, tasked with ensuring taxpayer money is spent wisely and appropriately.
Given that she thinks a margarita machine in her car, which we’re pretty certain would be illegal, is a wise use of campaign funds, Missouri taxpayers should shudder. Or, just have another margarita.
