Kochhead to do for U.S. what she's done for Arkansas

She's been named national vice president for state operations for Americans for Prosperity, the front group financed by the Kochs to do nominal "education" work aimed at electing corporate stooge Republican state legislators to battle taxes, Obamacare and environmental regulation at the state level.

She'd held the national job on an interim basis previously, according to her Twitter feed.
