Tonight is a very special night in Washington, D.C. Because tonight, the Kochs will be exposed — again!
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will be cohosting a live congressional press briefing that will feature clips from Brave New Films’ reissue of “Koch Brothers Exposed.” Check out this sweet graphic from the documentary’s website:

Well, that’s … something. Or something.
@hboulware Meanwhile, this obsession has grown beyond a little creepy and skin-crawling.

Mockery makes this ridiculousness a little more palatable:
Apparently @SenatorReid thinks someone unleashed the Kochen, and it’s up to him to slay the beast. http://t.co/Hh2oCFeOnL

@OrwellForks I can't wait to see Kochtopus vs. Sharknado on Syfy in a few months. @BecketAdams

But seriously, do Dems like Reid and Pelosi realize how their creepy obsession makes them look?
Probably reads better in the original German. MT @hboulware Gotta say, this graphic is more than a little creepy. http://t.co/sfsQ9cGz64

Insane … and possibly against congressional law:

Via Politico:
Rep. Candice Miller, the chairwoman of the House Administration Committee, wrote to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Monday saying a scheduled film screening of an anti-Koch brothers movie in the Capitol Visitor Center is violating House and Senate rules.
…
In letter obtained by POLITICO, Miller (R-Mich.) wrote that she has “several serious concerns” that using the Capitol Visitor Center for the film “may cross the line into partisan politics.”
Rules created by the House and Senate committees charged with administration of the Capitol complex state that “no audio visual presentations in the CVC may premiere, preview, showcase, or publicize a film.”

Update:
When confronted about tonight’s event, Harry Reid had this to say:
Reid says dispute over showing part of Koch Bros film at the Capitol complex "shows how the tentacles" work.
