Zach GALIFIANAKIS called the KOCH brothers creepy. They're offended but don't deny being creepy.

[font size=5]Creepy Koch Brothers Upset With Zach Galifianakis for Calling Them ‘Creepy’[/font]

Louis Peitzman


.... Zach Galifianakis spelled it out: it's "pretty obvious" the characters, played by Dan Aykroyd and John Lithgow, are based on the Koch brothers. ....


“I disagree with everything they do. They are creepy and there is no way around that. It's not freedom what they are doing.” ....



“We disagree with his uninformed characterization of Koch and our beliefs. His comments, which appear to be based on false attacks made by our political opponents, demonstrate a lack of understanding of our longstanding support of individual freedom, freedom of expression, and constitutional rights.”

Boring. Throw in a Hangover II reference.

“Maybe more to the point is that it's laughable to take political guidance or moral instruction from a guy who makes obscene gestures with a monkey on a bus in Bangkok.” ....



Notice that the Koch brothers' spokesperson never said they're not creepy, so perhaps that criticism still stands.

No wonder they didn't mind not denying it.

They are so much worse than creepy.
