Say It Ain't So Already

The Fake David Koch — Ian Murphy — Is Running for Congress

Yep, Ian Murphy, the proprietor of the BuffaloBeast.com and the guy who pranked Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker a few weeks ago in a phone call during which he pretended to be the anti-worker zillionaire, David Koch, is running for a seat in the House of Representatives.

He’s running as a Green Party candidate in New York’s 26th Congressional District.  Here’s his campaign website:  MurphyCanHasCongress.com.

He’s an introductory video Murphy released on Wednesday. Lighthearted yes, but hey, I agree with everything he says:

I’m angry about where this country’s going.  And I’m angry about where the Republicans and the Democrats are taking it.

I’m angry that the only people with a voice in this country are those who can afford it.

And I’m angry that the billionaires create their wealth not through a hard day’s work, but by stealing from those who do.

I’m angry that not one Wall Street crook has gone to jail for wrecking the economy.

I’m angry that we’re still wasting vast treasure and lives on foolish military occupations.

I’m angry because my campaign manager thought I should wear this goofy sweater.

Here’s the audio of that now-famous call to Walker, Wisconsin’s little punk of a governor:

Good luck Ian.  You’ve got guts.

(Thanks Scott!)
