A strange metaphorical moment in Jane Mayer's awesome article
about the Koch brothers and their quiet but enormous influence:
A Republican campaign consultant who has done research on behalf of Charles and David Koch said of the Tea Party, “The Koch brothers gave the money that founded it. It’s like they put the seeds in the ground. Then the rainstorm comes, and the frogs come out of the mud—and they’re our candidates!”
I wonder if said campaign consultant's assumptions about amphibian reproduction reflect an ideologically strained relationship with science?
