Hothouse of the Right

One of my favorite lines in What's the Matter with Kansas? comes (page 82) when Thomas Frank is describing the wealthy Koch family of Wichita. Frank says:

Koch money props up such hothouses of the right as Reason magazine, the Manhattan Institute, the Heartland Institute, Citizens for a Sound Economy, and the Democratic Leadership Council.

I thought it must be the right-wingers who gave us sellouts like Clinton, Gore, Kerry and Edwards. Now I know!
