According to the suggested reports, the alleged “death panel” originator and former lieutenant governor of New York and adjunct fellow of the Houston Institute, Betsy McCoughey has reportedly resigned from her post after suffering ample amount of humiliation in the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Stewart, who was well informed and prepared reportedly demonstrated McCaughey’s entire foothold in the health care reform to be “as solid as Swiss cheese”. Obama’s health care reform has recently triggered a wide array of controversies off late.

Betsy McCaughey who has also been termed as the serial mis-informer wrongly claimed in the Stewart show that the Page 432 of the House Health Care Reform Bill would make end-of-life counseling “mandatory” after backtracking from her previous statement that stated Page 425 would provide for “mandatory” end-of-life counseling. She had also stated that a provision on that page “penalizes doctors who do not follow or adhere the policies and rules that is set by the government

1. Jon Stewart's contribution to showing up the crazies

has been immeasurable.

Thanks you Jon!!

[malaise]

2. Wicked Subject

:fistbump:

3. That show was a thing of beauty

Normally I don't like to watch someone get eviserated like Jon did her but in this case I loved it. This issue is too important to let someone like her derail the whole process with her lies. Jon Stewart done a superb job I must say.

4. Okay, you get today's prize for humor. nt

19. thanks

5. Once again Jon Stewart doing the media's job for them...

He not only illustrated her wrong thinking but the complete lack of serious journalism being practiced in this country. If she and her ideas had been seriously vetted by a newspaper or television editorial staff, none of this crap would have spent more than a few days in the news cycle.

Propaganda, yellow journalism... that's all we have folks.

10. butbutbut

that would mean READING the bill!

6. One question

How did she get to be on the Board, the lieutenant, adjunct of anything? Seriously, even without the amazing bit of precision swordsmanship Jon Stewart displayed, she does NOT seem all that brilliant.

Next....Grassley?

7. A prime example of Getting Ahead in America.

It is NOT a matter of education, intelligence, or competence.
Its not what you know....Its WHO you know.

[Sheepshank]

8. So maybe we can assume

that her "who's" are abandoning her, throwing her under the bus, turning their backs on her etc? Wouldn't that be a wet fish slap in the face. lol

[walldude]

13. Or who you are willing to fuck over.

In her case... everyone.

[bvar22]

15. Closer to the Truth.

With a few rare exceptions, our political and economic system rewards the most cold hearted Sociopaths.

[704wipes]

16. & it is whose disinformation agenda do you spew far & wide

as well....

[stuball111]

17. or....

"It's not who you know..... it's who you Blow":rofl: I don't think her "intelligence" got her the job.Had to have been something else.And I love the way they dump her when she gets stomped... keep it up Jon! Take em down one by one!

[Papa Boule]

9. The answer

She was never seriously challenged or exposed by the media, who now see their role now as "umpires" with no obligation to point out which side is speaking truth and which is lying. In fact they believe they commit a foul when they do.

Even a house of cards can stand like a bastion when no breath of wind dares blow against it.

Stewart was simply the first to do something simple -- challenge and confront with facts.

11. chalk up another for Jon...

Cramer slimed his way through

12. I wonder if that troll who said Stewart should stick to "making faces" is reading this right now

But I'm pretty sure you all remember him.

"The thing is, we get creamed when we're shown to be obvious liars and idiots."

Yep, and that's why she got "creamed".

:rofl:

14. That had to be Tucker Carlson

[sunnybrook]

18. Maybe Palin will sue him!

Oh wait she just cares about advancing her own career...
