Betsy McCaughey Gets Smacked Down Again

Remember Betsy McCaughey?

She’s the woman who came up with the death panel argument that Sarah Palin made famous. It looked like she had some traction too, until she got smacked down by Jon Stewart last month. The results forced her to resign from her job (indirectly or directly). You can see all that here.

Yet she’s back. Getting smacked down once more, this time by MSNBC Morning Meeting host Dylan Ratigan and Congressman Anthony Weiner.

The Conservative argument for health insurance is generally emotion based without any facts. Yet Betsy is a rare exception, she deliberately uses her facts to deceive. Ratigan doesn’t let her get away with it, however, and calls her out. McCaughey’s argument degenerates into name calling and blaming Ratigan for his biased moderation.

“This may go down in history as one of the most brow-beating interviews in television history.” declared McCaughey.

“I hope it does” remarked Ratigan.

Biased or not, it is most satisfying to see her get the smack down she deserves. As Jon Stewart declared, her interpretation of Obama’s health reforms is “dangerous” and “misleading”.

/>Weiner really drills her too. He get’s her to admit she wants to cut Medicare and spells it out. Weiner has been a rising star these days among the Dems and here you can clearly see why. The man knows his stuff and how to use it.

Here’s a random photo I found of ol’ Betsy that I thought was funny. Not sure what it’s about but it is compromising.
