According to an agenda (PDF) for an earlier Koch seminar (Aspen, 2010) that accompanied the leaked invitation, previous Koch seminars have featured "such notable leaders" as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, Sens.

1. Well someone has to ruin the country!

The 1% won't be done with us, until we are a powdery residue on the sidewalk.

2. We're getting there. The 1% have some very efficient helpers in Washington

and we seem to be in the last phase of the 'going to hell in a handbasket' ride we've been on.

From the Urban Dictionary:

you're going to hell in a hand basket

When the inevitable political tsunami lands, there will be forces in play that will dig up all the dirt and put them behind bars.
