THE WEEKLY SCALAWAG..James Stephenson

[flaminbats]

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Stephenson, president and CEO of Yancey Brothers Co., a construction equipment supply company. Most of the big yellow bulldozers you see plowing over trees and digging up stream banks come from Stephenson's shop. Same goes for the pavers you see squirting out fresh layers of asphalt.

Stephenson also sits on the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority board, where he does his best to make sure that any effort to address the region's horrible traffic involves the construction of more roads -- the type of projects from which he derives a very comfortable income.

About a month ago, Stephenson took his local scalawaggery prime time. As first reported in the AJC's Political Insider column, he gave $50,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group bankrolled by Bush contributors that attacked John Kerry's Vietnam war record through TV ads and a book, Unfit for Command.

Touche. Only an asshole would go around criticizing people, especially veterans who risked their lives for our country.
