Worth watching for a laugh (if you don't cry about the imbeciles on the House Committee on Science, etc...). Stewart takes apart the buffoonery behind climate science denial. And, lo and behold, he points out how Peabody Energy is one of the biggest donors to Indiana Republican Representative Larry "I could read that [science journal] but I don't believe it" Buchson (at about 8:30 in the video). Peabody, Murray Energy, and Koch Bros are Buchson's major donors.
Stewart noted a bit too optimistically that at least Peabody and their friends can't buy scientists - "if scientists could be bought, these motherf---rs would have already made it rain [money] in nerdtown."
Unfortunately, scientific integrity can be bought, and the "motherf---rs" at Peabody have apparently made it rain at Washington University's "nerdtown" where we have sold our integrity to repeat corporate propaganda phrases like "clean coal."
