Hypocrisy and phoniness, thy name is Rick Perry -- in more ways than one.
Charles Koch responds to Warren Buffett's op-ed calling for higher taxes on the rich by claiming that being one of the nation's top polluters makes him a boon to mankind. To paraphrase Spiderman; with great power comes a great big freakin' ego.
