David Scott’s foe just a GOP tool?

U.S. Rep. David Scott’s Republican opponent is getting embarrassing attention for her campaign’s involvement in what smells like a fund-raising scam.

Deborah Honeycutt, a Clayton County physician, was clobbered in 2006 by Scott, 69 to 31 percent. But she’s cruising for another bruising anyway this year in the state’s most Democratic district. And Talking Points Memo reports that she’s raised an astounding $1.7 million.
