Looks like Koch, who funded and helped launch the tea party AstroTurf movement along with his billionaire brother Charles, is upset at the boost in political capital Obama got from the takedown of America’s public enemy No. 1. Topping off the brief interview, Koch called Obama a “hard-core socialist” and confessed, “He’s scary to me.”
Yep, poor Koch is haunted by visions of socialism. Maybe he needs his maid to tuck him in and leave the night light on in his 18-room, $17 million Park Avenue penthouse before he goes to sleep? Will that help him forget that his family made its first nut of wealth working for Stalin? –YL
