Kinder passes over Missouri Women for Georgia Pair

Peter "Every Dollar Counts" Kinder is creating jobs with his taxpayer funded Tour of Missouri bike race--- too bad they're in Georgia.

Kinder has selected two Georgians, Erin Haney and Jen Caudill, as the official Hostesses for the 2009 Tour of Missouri.

Here's a look at the resumes Kinder couldn't pass over.

"Haney was named Miss Georgia USA in 2003 and has remained involved in pageants as a producer, consultant, emcee and judge. She possesses a college degree in Fashion Design and interned with fashion designer Vera Wang.  Haney also has over 15 years of formal dance training."

Caudill is an Atlanta based "model and actress and has appeared in music videos and on an episode of Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva.  She earned a degree in Advertising from the University of Georgia Grady College of Journalism.  Caudill is also an experienced equestrian."

Missourians can follow Kinder's imported podium ladies on Twitter @PodiumLadies 

Here's a recent excerpt:

"Drum roll pleeaaaseee.... we have chosen our dresses for Tour of Missouri! We're ready, down to our 4 inch gold heels! ;-)"

No word on why Miss Missouri, the State Fair Queen or other talented Missouri women were unavailable for these Missouri taxpayer funded gigs.

So much for "show-casing" the Show-Me State to the world.
