Who Does the Beer Company REALLY Support?

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."

Oops. Freudian slip?
