Bud Cramer has responded to last week’s story about his extravagant spending habits of late.

Retiring U.S. Rep. Bud Cramer of Alabama says his recent campaign expenses on meals and travel were for political and district-related functions that the Federal Election Commission considers legitimate.

…

He said he also frequently hosts meals with civic and business groups to discuss issues in his district.

Among Cramer’s expenses was a $953 dinner at Ruth’s Chris - “one of several Ruth’s Chris outings.”

I’ll be in DC twice in the next month or so.  If any of Cramer’s staff happens to read this blog then consider this my request for a dinner at Ruth’s Chris at the congressman’s expense.  I promise that we can discuss issues in the district with others in my business group.

• I want to be a Congressman
• Cramer to be challenged in 2008 - by a FairTax supporter
• Bud Cramer’s voting record
• New faces, same problems
• Well of course they don’t
