1. Is it just me.....

7. no eastern european accent
She doesn't have the heavy eastern european accent and the 70's porn star hairdo but other than that pretty much the same.

10. What would we do without the likes of Stewart & Colbert?
I shudder to think. That TIME poll got it absolutely right on "America's most trusted newscaster". Keep keeping 'em honest, boys!

Edited on Sat Aug-22-09 06:21 PM by Douglas Carpenter
It's a great think that Jon Stewart is doing his patriotic duty - standing up for the truth and exposing this evil

13. She was fired the following day
"CANTEL MEDICAL CORP. (NYSE: CMN – News) announced that on August 20, 2009 it received a letter of resignation from Ms. Elizabeth McCaughey as a director of the Company. Ms. McCaughey, who had served as a director since 2005, stated that she was resigning to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest during the national debate over healthcare reform."

Well deserved.

14. This is a woman who helps people SELL stuff to other people who manage
ENORMOUS budgets for health care institutions. Or I guess I should say past tense; she helped people sell stuff to hospitals etc. Her paycheck affects her interpretation of ANY legislation. It IS too bad that Jon Stewart didn't mention that.

She was probably asked to quit because she drew national attention to some highly salaried people who are going to be under a microscope as our "Health" "Care" systems undergo some serious cost-cutting.

15. P.S. She wasn't fired for lying or for being stupid, but for drawing attention to herself. nt

18. They are the Republican's constituency, a.k.a. their Ba$$$$$$$$$e, so . . . . .
Right Now, We need many, many, many, many more people in the Streets.

And what we ultimately need is Re-Districting, Campaign Finance, and Voting Reform.

19. Cantel may not have known. She's probably a Sarah Palin wanna be, so she free-lanced.

on edit: so I gues that would make BM a wanna be of a wanna be.

16. Oh right, the ammendment that was written by a REPUBLICAN.
The ammendment that was written by a REPUBLICAN regarding end-of-life consultations being covered by insurance, instead of out of We The People's pockets, as it currently is & has been for years.


THAT REPUBLICAN-written "euthanasia" bullshit.
