MSNBC host Joe Scarborough hasn't been shy about his support for the industrial billionaire conservatives Charles and David Koch, but it took a weekend in Palm Springs for his liberal co-host Mika Brzezinski to see the light.

Brzezinski interrupted a discussion on Wednesday's "Morning Joe" about the Kochs' plan to drop nearly $1 billion on the 2016 election cycle to share how much she learned after attending the brothers' “American Recovery Policy Forum,” this past weekend in California.

"I thought the different programs they have had, the conversations they had, addressed really interesting questions," she said of the speakers at the event. "The kind of questions we address here at the table."

"A surprise to me," she continued, grasping for words before raving about Charles Koch's wife. "Liz Koch, ever met her? She's a ball of fire! And she's got this incredible program for helping the poorest of the poor kids in several inner cities that she's developed."

It says, "in several inner cities that she's developed." She developed the poverty-stricken inner cities all by herself. But maybe with some help from her husband. Anyway, at least she's taking ownership.

That particular case hadnt happened yet but the oligarchs knew the only way to take the country completely away from us was to eliminate what little campaign finance laws we had left.

So when there was a chance to steal, right in front of everybody's nose, the 2000 election, to actually say in the decision that "allowing the continued counting of the votes will harm plaintiff Bush" they had to jump on it and run with it.

It has been all over for a while now, all that is left is for them to divide up the spoils, the labor and resources.

They already have all the money, now they will finish it off by taking and destroying what is left of the resources and environment and turn the labor force into 3rd world stuff.

All over folks, sorry

did not fight for his votes in Florida, and the door was locked when CU was made law. It's going to run until it stops, folks, and when and where it stops, we don't know. But it will be very, very ugly.

7. Scarborough thinks he'll be anointed the GOP chosen one if he attaches himself remora-like to Koch

posteriors. Not only is he a third-rate news talker, but he's an incredibly gullible dupe too. I feel bad for the idiot.
