Jon Stewart is absolutely eviscerating

this dipshit woman on tonight's TDS!!!!

idiot! This is awesome!!

"You're wrong."

And that pissed him off.

I am LOVING this.

She's looking like the total asshole that she is.

He cut her off with her bullshit anecdote.

I just hope he doesn't back off..................

And her playing to the camera with her theatrics was nauseating.

She should have just taken in a laptop and done a search. It actually starts on 431:



All it is asking is for doctors to report when they do end of life counseling and whether the people stuck to their original decisions or changed their minds.

I loved his little toons Benny Hill and Jeopardy while waiting for page 432.

Have you ever heard of post-it notes? :rofl:

who started the ...they wanna pull the plug on granny rumor...to bad he can't trip her as she gets up to leave

that would be the best, will have to stay up tonight to see it

She thinks she is smarter than she really is....I do love how Jon gives someone a beat down with a smile on his face...

he did more in that interview - or whatever it was - to explain the "end of life" provision than Obama's done so far, than anyone's done so far.

Jon put it in human terms, citing his grandparents, and also bringing up the possibility of leaving the "I want everything possible to be done to keep me alive" option open.

That was just great. Now I want to see the whole interview at the Comedy Central site: http://www.thedailyshow.com/

Does she now know what sustaining means?

He is pointing out how incorrect everything that this twit is saying about this bill

to run the fucking party! He's the only one with enough brains and balls to actually DO something.

Of course, he's more libertarian than progressive.

Make Colbert his second in command and send him out to bitch slap the religious wackos. That man knows the bible and can run circles around the religious hypocrites.

:rofl:

... and Jon said you can watch the rest of it on the website with a hot cup of cocoa and a friend who normally helps you through bad trips! LOL

I get the feeling the interview did not end well and I can't wait to see it. Actually, I can wait. I have no choice. The re-play and full interview vids go up on the TDS site @ approximately 3:00 AM CST. I will be there with my cache cleared and my popcorn ready.

like what time the stuff goes up on the site. You kill me, I swear.

That whole thing has to be a work of art if they were willing just to truncate it on the show and make that announcement. I've never seen Stewart do that before, but his crack about hot chocolate and someone to talk you down was beautiful.

That was really something. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing........................

i was actually yelling at the t.v. at how stupid this woman was - who the hell was she anyway?

Wow.

I'm gonna have to force myself to stay up to watch the late night re-run.

8pm, I'm watching O'Riled Up, 9pm, Lost My Sanity Hannity, 10, Olberman, 11 Watching Rachel now.

Then I try to DVR Jon and Colbert if I'm not able to stay up.

Must. stay. up!

And welcome to DU!

:hi:

She assumes that everyone who watches Stewart is a stupid as her normal audience.

Thank you, Jon, for giving us this opportunity to see the source of all the hysteria.

:puke:

till tomorrow to see the rest..now if we could just get John to teach some of the dems how its done....sigh

usually fabulous self. He took one page out of that phone book of papers she was carrying and destroyed her and he was so cool doing it.

:applause:

That is what they want, the government to hand them 50 million new
victims and pay them for all of them. That's why things like this "women"
make up these lies.
Great show Jon

Welcome to DU. :hi:

We had better see the other news shows covering this. This woman has been spreading her lies and the media has helped by allowing her a platform, and now, they had better show how Jon took her to task. It was a sight to behold.

:thumbsup: :hi:

Wasn't that some kind of smackdown? I never saw Stewart go so directly head-to-head with anyone before, and I must say, I want MORE!

How's life treating you, my friend? Is is blistering hot where you are?

:toast:

east coast LIBERALS!!

And god bless him for it!

Good to see ya. We rented films this week and we're on a real hot streak. CINEMA PARADISO and CLOSE TO LEO and TOOTSIE. God what fun.

Hope you're in high clover on a blue day, TL.

Can you imagine if a network anchor had the balls to do that? That was a great night..can't wait to see the rest!

Do you think they'll chat about it on Fox and morning joe ?

I came away from that interview with a sense of fear. Fear that our opponents are well funded and dishonest and energetic. And that Jon Stewart is better than I ever thought he would be.

At this point in time I see The Daily Show as one of the keenest band of journalists around. They must be researching day and night. I don't know how they do it.

I'm frightened most by those who continue to lie even after being exposed. I believe it gives them an air of legitimacy their followers can hang on to. We're really living in the Twilight Zone. We're at continuous war with a gang of crooks called the Republican party.

And I want to say that it's not even the Republican party. They are just the working end of big corporations. The state of affairs in America today is the people versus the big corporations. That's what we saw tonight.

they just keep going, and, yes, "relentless" is the exact right word. She never stopped, never considered another perspective, not for a moment.

She kept saying "You're wrong," which, really, would have had me slapping the crap out of her on national TV. I commend Stewart for channeling his anger into taking her apart.

But, you're right. They operate as if their words are the only ones being spoken, and if they just keep saying them often enough, loud enough, they will prevail.

The fucked-up part is that they're right.

The White House should study that entire interview when it goes up on the Daily Show website, and then get out there and start taking these lying scum apart the way Stewart eviscerated that horrible woman......................

:kick:

"I would like to see the US spend more on on health, not less"

"I want to make sure patients get the health care they need"

"I support health insurance for anyone who can afford it"


I guess in her last statement there is a "small" grain of truth-(afford it)


Betsy Mcaughey is on the Board of Directors at Cantel Medical Corporation.

She is also an Adjunct Fellow of The Hudson Institute, a conservative think-tank that lists notable Trustees, Fellows and Advisor's, past and present such as:

Pierre Dupont
Al Haig
Scooter Libby
Robert Bork
Richard Perle
Dan Quayle

I'm slowly learning to do my own research. I failed to follow up like you did. I had a hunch she had big money behind her. Duh. And you proved it.


By the way, are you in Mendocino? That's where I am.

Claims she didn't want the appearance of a conflict of interest. Ya.... right. More likely IMO that Cantel didn't want anyone snooping around them because of her connection.

Upon listening to the TSD rebroadcast today I realized that she said "can't afford" rather than can afford. Still it doesn't change the fact that she's a hypocrite for claiming that she supports health care for all, while taking it apart.

And I'm not in Mendocino, though I visited 6 years back. Liked it so much I adopted the name. Wonderful place, I envy you.

"I support a chicken in every pot for those who can afford a chicken."

But that woman needs to get-the-hell-away-from that loose leaf binder full of her nonsensical pretzelistic read

We don't get TDS here (the UK) so I'm watching it for the first time.

EDIT, TEN MINUTES IN: This woman is a frickin' MORON!

:hi:

Repeatedly turning toward the audience and avoiding direct eye contact with Jon reminded me of Armey on Meet the Press, unable to look at Rachel and rubbing his hands together.

K&R

He tore Page 432 out of her book! I was choking with laughter.

Kristol plays to Stewart's strengths (quit wit, intelligence, preparedness) rather than trying to find a weakness. He also laughs when the audience boos him or cheers Stewart. As a result, Kristol always makes a point or two.

McCaughey tried to find a weakness in Stewart ("Did you only read Section 1233?"), butted heads with him, inferred he was ignorant, waved pages to the audience as "proof Jon is wrong", and talked directly to the camera.

She seriously needs an infusion of humor -- joke enema?

I had a laughing fit. Indeed I started laughing when she walked on the set. By the time JS was finished destroying her I was laughing so much that I was shaking and I mean tears steaming down your cheeks kind of laughing. I can't tell you the last time I laughed like that.

That was a thing of beauty.

A bad combo.

Jon Stewart is the best of the best.

Hekate

like all right wingers and conservative corporate shills she makes leaps with any validity. Sophistry bullshit...

Take a victory lap, Mr. Stewart!

I think one point she was trying to make was that doctors would be rated on whether or not patients stuck to their decisions made in counseling. A real small point at that. I think doctors should be paid for this advice, but not be judged by whether the patient stuck too it or not. So to this extent I agree with her. How the Hell anyone could get death panels from this is beyond me. I have made my own "to pull the plug or not to pull the plug" decisions myself and communicated them to family and friends. It would have been great to mull this decision over with an MD. However I certainly would not want him to be rated poorly if I changed my mind in the future. I don't see anywhere where I would be forced to stick to any decision made before the event, only that the doctor would be judged, and thereby pressured to in turn pressure me...

I tried really hard to understand where this woman was coming from. Her comments had a huge effect on the debate, and right or wrong it is important to understand how she came to this opinion, on the remote chance she could actually be right (really really remote)

By the way she resigned from her job
