Dems get the cold Koch shoulder

Published July 8, 2011 4:00am EST



Billionaires David and Charles Koch had a little spat recently with Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chair who recently sent them solicitations by letter and voicemail for donations.

Koch Industries sent her a heated letter expressing their “chagrin” at her soliciation in light of other Democrats’ “disparaging” remarks about the company and its ties to the Republican Party.

Still, the Koch brothers seem to be forgetting they gave the DSCC 30,000 last year so why wouldn’t the Dems want some more of that Koch money?
