Droit du seigneur, Koch-style

For most people -- well, non-Republicans for certain -- funding a right-wing group with your billions and calling it "grass roots" would be a bit rich, and not just as a pun. But not for the Koch Brothers.  

And hell, while we're at it, for most people secretly dealing with the government of Iran is only the province of the Reagan Administration pre-whitewashing. But apparently, it's good if you're the Koch Brothers.

Good thing their name isn't George Soros, or they'd be in real trouble.

Is it any wonder, then, that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been lobbying fiercely to get rid of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act?

I'll bet ol' Charlie and Davey have Tom Donohue's home phone number and have been calling him a lot.

And, the Koch brothers probably aren't the only ones....

Behold right wing patriotism in all its glory, skirting the law to enrich themselves, weaken their own country and empower America’s enemies.

The fit, the look, the feel? Oooh la la la! C’est Magnifique

Koch Brothers break the law. Koch Brothers fund the Tabaggers. Can we get the Teabaggers named in the RICO indictment?
