This messenger is worth shooting. She was fired just last week from her insurance company lobbying organization over her lack of knowledge about healthcare reform.
You can find the appearance in question on the internet and watch it yourself. It's pretty funny where she read parts of the House bill, and Stewart then points out that it clearly doesn't say what she says it says.
Nice to see WSJ is still giving Betsy, the creator of "the government will kill your grandma!" lie, a voice.
Quote:
"During her appearance in the “Daily Show” with host Jon Stewart, Betsy McCaughey chewed on a lot more than she could handle. While meandering her way through the interview, her misinformed comments on the “Obama Health Care Reforms” triggered a wide ranging public outcry, with the resulting outcome being McCaughey’s resignation from the Cantel Medical Corp."
McCaughey, being the director of the Cantel Medical Corp., was curiously disillusioned about the basic facts of the reform bills. Which, however, did not deter her from embarking on an outright protest against the same."
