A kochsucker is anyone involved in politics who advocates policies that benefit corporations, big business and right wing interests, under the guise that those policies will actually benefit normal Americans. Very similar to a teabagger.

Side effects may include selective hearing, partial blindness, delusions of grandeur and criminal impulses.
