• Zach Galifianakis has annoyed the Koch brothers.

The Koch brothers, Kansas natives, barons of industry, financial backers of conservative causes and political-advertising buys nationwide, got their feelings hurt from Zach Galifianakis this week. Galifianakis and Will Ferrell star in the upcoming political comedy The Campaign.

CNN reports that the movie features two villainous, rich political benefactors called the “Motch brothers,” played by Dan Aykroyd and John Lithgow, that bearing more than a passing resemblance to Kansas’ Charles and Daivd Koch. Galifianakis, the star of many recent comedy hits (but will never top Between Two Ferns) mentioned the obvious lampooning in an interview on Monday. The bearded comic also weighed in with a couple of his thoughts about the Kochs.

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

The Kochs dispatched a spokesman to slap back.
