Stephen Colbert absolutely rips the Koch brothers - to their faces!!!!!

[LongTomH]

Oh, God! I love Stephen Colbert! This is from 2012; but, it's still worth posting. The Kochs are still trying to buy up what's left of our democracy!

From Daily Kos: PRICELESS-Colbert Rips David Koch to His Face at Time Magazine Gala:

TIME recently held its gala celebrating the magazine's self-proclaimed 100 most influential people. Among those chosen were David Koch and Stephen Colbert, who spoke before the gathered masses.

Colbert ripped several of the magazine's selections using his signature (read: brilliant) sharp-tongued irony. However, some of his most pointed comments were reserved for David Koch, who was seated before Colbert as he spoke.

Here are excerpts from Stephen's talk:

Of course, all of us should be honored to be listed on the TIME 100 alongside the two men who will be slugging it out in the fall: President Obama, and the man who would defeat him, David Koch.

Give it up everybody. David Koch.

Little known fact -- David, nice to see you again, sir.

Little known fact, David's brother Charles Koch is actually even more influential. Charles pledged $40 million to defeat President Obama, David only $20 million. That's kind of cheap, Dave.

Sure, he's all for buying the elections, but when the bill for democracy comes up, Dave's always in the men's room. I'm sorry, I must have left Wisconsin in my other coat.

"I must have left Wisconsin in my other coat!!!!"

As I said, it's from 2012; but, the Kochs are not going away. They're still looking for a good bargain in a country.

By the way, did I mention that I truly love me some Stephen Colbert?

1. Touche Mr. Colbert!

2. Stephen starts at the Late Show on Tuesday!

I'm sure he will mostly retire the smarmy elite fool character he played, but I'm sure the pointed satire will still in evidence.

Can't wait.
