Stewart vs. The Stupid

Elizabeth McCaughey has made a career of spreading falsehoods about health care reform. She was instrumental in the Clinton health care debacle in '93 and she resurfaced again and again over the years.

Till once again, she has burst on the scene. In an attempt to make it appear that she is reasonable, she appeared on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. That was a mistake, it was one of the better interviews he has done. Mrs. McCaughey comes off looking positively detached from reality.


Steve Benen has a good wrap-up. The interview goes long, way over the shows allotted time.

There needs to be more this sort of thing. When someone says something demonstrably false they need to be called on it.

-Cheers
