Some Koch Sucking Up
Wingnuts are gathering in Washington, DC for a meeting of the Koch brothers' front group "Americans for [Koch] Prosperity," the financial engine behind the teabagger movement. Perfectly lubricated weathervane Willard "Mittens/Flip/Mousse" Romney will be there, pretending to be one of the teabaggers (maybe he'll show up in colonial garb). Current frontrunner and ladies' man Herman "Herb" Cain set the tone for the supplicant Rethuglican politicians by declaring (true quote): "I am the Koch brothers' brother from another mother." His "campaign"/book tour was funded by "Americans for [Koch] Prosperity," and Herb makes no secret about his long-standing connections with the far-right plutocratic brothers, who expect their candidates to return favors once in office in the form of gutting regulations and cutting their taxes.
