The Washington Independent highlights Betsy McCaughey's resignation from the board of directors of Cantel Medical Corp., a medical products company, to "avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest." McCaughey's resignation coincides with her attempt to revive her false end-of-life counseling smears on The Daily Show.
According to Cantel's press release:
LITTLE FALLS, N.J., Aug 21, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- CANTEL MEDICAL CORP. (NYSE: CMN) 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.
McCaughey has been on Cantel's board since 2005, but her apparent conflict of interest hasn't kept CNN and Fox News from repeatedly hosting her to spread false attacks on health care reform.
She was absolutely pathetic on The Daily Show so she should fit right in with the FNC crew.
But given that we are trying to point out the idiocy of the comparisons to Hitler/Nazism that many seem to make with abandon, can't we, at least for the duration of that fight, abstain from resorting to such tactics ourselves? (referencing the "reich wing" comment)
When she was on the Daily Show, and she was looking for page 432, I sure was hoping Stewart would say, I think page 432 is right between pages 431 and 433.
Jon failed to ask the really important question (apologies to Jello Biafra), namely WHO PAYS THE BILLS?
Who is buying this? After Ms. McCaughey appeared on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, she "resigned." Yep, sure, ahem, NOT! If you believe that, a tangled web awaits. Spin away! Betsy McCaughey kept saying the world is flat, yet the bill said otherwise. Someone said there is nothing new under the sun. Betsy must get plenty of tickets, for running stop-signs. "Officer the sign is green, and says go."
A doctorate in anything does not give knowledge to everything.
Best wishes,

Betsy McCaughey, Adjunct Fellow at Moonie Hudson Institute (Hudson created Discovery Institute, the Moonie Creationist propaganda factory, and in the same Washington DC offices where Moonies created the SEPPtic Tank of Fred Singer) has been fired as Board Director at Cantel Medical Corp.
Responsible for creating the BIG LIE about govt DEATH PANELS going to kill grandma, made famous by Sarah Palin, Betsy McCaughey met her Waterloo on the Jon Stewart Show, August 21, 2009. This follows less than one week after famous Astroturfer and Chronic Liar Dick Armey met his Waterloo, and was forced out of DLA Piper PR company for similar frauds.
The END TIMES for liars has come, with big names dropping like flies. It's only a matter of time before David H. Koch does the perp walk and beats Bernie Madoff's sentence length.
Pete's response? "Yeah, they came in about 8:30 and resigneded me."
