They talk about him just like they bought him from Walmart.

Wonder who Sorros will buy.

Kochs Defend Purchase of Scott Walker - The New Yorker

Koch Industries is defending its acquisition of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker against charges that it overpaid for the Midwestern politician.

After co-owner David Koch revealed that Walker had become a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, he set off a firestorm of criticism that the company had spent too much for a worthless asset.

Its funny, I missed where you started a thread about Hillary being purchased by foreign donors, taking millions. One thing we can be sure about-no info about this was contained in her deleted emails, those were just about yoga n stuff.
 
That's a humor column, not a news column. I love Andy Borowitz - but it's humor.

Shouldn't this be posted in a humor thread? You realize this is satire, right? :roll:

It does raise an interesting point though, is buying an election a legitimate business expense you can write off on taxes? Or if the politician is dependent on your money for election are they a dependent ?
 
Is it satire, though?



Really? What good is unloading boat loads of money into something if you don't expect to get anything back for it? Are the Kochs just the worst investors ever?
