Mitch Deep-Throats the Kochs

I've seen some desperate Koch-sucking in my day, but Mitchie-poo takes the cake

Charlie Pierce:

Dear Democrats: Here's the thing.  A full 74 percent of Americans polled favored raising the minimum wage. Mitch McConnell just spit in their eye to curry favor with two Americans. A full 69 percent of Americans polled favored extending unemployment benefits. But none of them are named Charles Koch or David Koch, so Mitch McConnell believes they don't count. Mitch McConnell has handed you a nice juicy steak out of which you can make a meal. Please don't waste time waiting for the sauce.

Mitch McConnell has pronounced to himself, and the Republican Senate majority, that he proposes to lead in the next Congress, completely open for business on behalf of two radical conservative yahoos who have maintained their fortune by buying politicians and despoiling the planet. (By the way, screw them and their charity work. Mobsters used to buy stained-glass windows for the church, too.)
