Here's a Shocker

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was bankrolled by the Koch brothers Josef Stalin derived fortune:

Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker, whose bill to kill collective bargaining rights for public-sector unions has caused an uproar among state employees, might not be where he is today without the Koch brothers. Charles and David Koch are conservative titans of industry who have infamously used their vast wealth to undermine President Obama and fight legislation they detest, such as the cap-and-trade climate bill, the health care reform act, and the economic stimulus package. For years, the billionaires have made extensive political donations to Republican candidates across the country and have provided millions of dollars to astroturf right-wing organizations. Koch Industries' political action committee has doled out more than $2.6 million to candidates. And one prominent beneficiary of the Koch brothers' largess is Scott Walker.
Seriously, these guys are to the conservative wackdoodle movement as Gaƫtan Dugas was to AIDS.

*No seriously, Koch Industries made its money building refineries for Josef Stalin.
