It's emblematic of the turbulent and Orwellian times we live in when you get more truth from the fake news on Comedy Central than from the actual established media outlets. Stewart and Colbert have the balls and the humor to call the Bush Administration on its b.s., unlike most of the mainstream journalists. We've gotten to the point in this country where even the few basic constructs of reality are completely spun by the Administration so that even science is debated.

If Uruguay were to build these state of the art plants (Argentina's pulp mills rely on outdated and heavily-polluting technology), it would …

Brian28, What the hell does a controversy over a paper mill in Uruguay have to do with impeaching the President? Not that I disagree with you, but it's this kind of thing that turns people off to your message. It's the same phenomenon when you go an anti-war rally. It turns out that in addition to Iraq, you end up protesting on Palestine, Agribusiness, Plan Colombia. The lack of focus only hurts the original cause, whether its opposition to the Iraq War or support for impeachment.
