Wednesday link dump: Koch party

• Jon Runyan, Republican nominee for Congress from New Jersey, was asked to name a recent Supreme Court decision he disagreed with. His answer: Dred Scott. (Try to make the religious right dog-whistle stuff at least make sense in context, candidates.)
• Rick Sanchez is still, sadly, Tweeting his little heart out.
• Eliot Spitzer's application to the Harvard Club was rejected.
• Republicans can't wait to fight the EPA once they retake Congress, because America loves polluters so much.
• The richest people in the nation went to a party thrown by Charles Koch where they listened to Glenn Beck's paranoid ravings. (Tim Carney, who addressed the group, says, whatever, the Demmycrats are in bed with a different segment of Big Business, which is true enough but seems beside the point.)
