Dynamite As He Says; Don't Dynamite As He Does

Lee Beaman--Republican swift-boat funder and financier of Fred Thompson and Charlie Tygard campaigns--has been called out by the Nashville Scene for explosive hypocrisy. Mr. Beaman and his wife have done their own blasting even as they lead the charge against the Governor's plans to blast for a ballroom. Mr. Beaman's logic that his blasting did not include public dollars seems pretty lame to me, since he has donated so much money to conservative causes that I would suspect he has won himself a few tax breaks and special privileges from government through the years.
