Hey Roy, Those Must Be Some Fine Golf Gloves

Bloomberg has an interesting story about some of the golf outings that various members of congress take part in. 

Buried deep within the story is this interesting little tidbit about Missouri's own Roy Blunt (R-K Street):

The FEC reports offer some clues into how lawmakers use their campaign funds. Alaska Republican Representative Don Young disclosed a $3,896 payment for ``golf tees'' this year; Missouri Representative Roy Blunt, the House's third-ranking Republican, reported spending $1,764 on golf gloves in May 2004.

If their campaign contributions have to subsidize that sort of lavish lifestyle, no wonder those K Street lobbyists have to charge $50,000 for one month's worth of work.
