This Will Ferrell Movie Pisses Off the Koch Brothers

• http://www.motherjones.com, By Asawin Suebsaeng
 The Campaign stars Will Ferrell as North Carolina congressman Cam Brady, a Southern-fried Democratic lecher with "strong hair" who panders unceasingly to the "America, Jesus, freedom" crowd. (Ferrell's character was inspired by John Edwards, minus the snuggly class warfare and the...you know.) Brady is locked in a brutal reelection fight against Republican challenger Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), an affable, Twinkie-slurping political novice. Huggins' campaign and super-PAC are funded by Wade and Glen Motch (Dan Aykroyd and John Lithgow, respectively), environment-hating, human-rights-screwing billionaires working to buy the 2012 elections and turn Brady's district into a Chinese sweatshop. ("The Motch Brothers"... subtle, ain't it?)
