Across the Pond To Congratulate Betsy McCaughey, Diva of Death Panels




The Brits over at The Economist (the magazine everyone who is anyone pretends to read) are apparently bereft of CNN, and therefore did not realize what Sunlight + The First Half of October have done to Infamous Death Panel Diva, Betsy McCaughey's famous "OBAMA WILL SWALLOW YOUR GRANDMA WHOLE" argument. So, seeking an expert to help them understand what the hell is wrong with Americans they invited McCaughey to advocate (lie) against healthcare reform with luminaries such as Mr. Rogers (of Mr. Rogers' neighborhood), Guy With Huge Face, and Newt Gingrich.
She Anglicized her "programs" to "programmes" and "Death Panels" to "Oy- They'se gonna kill your Gran-ny" beautifully. Several members of the public did pose questions and comments for bloody ol' Batsy who responded by flapping her wings and heading back to her cave deep in the Earth's molten parts to work on her next Wall Street Journal column. Here are some excerpts:
Dear Sir,

My question is directed at Mrs. Betsy McCaughey.

Mrs. McCaughey,

I have appreciated your diligent work reading the entire bill and doing your best to translate it to plain English.

I am so very troubled with the provisions you have highlighted on your twitter account (@REALMcCaughey) namely;

The sections of the bill wherein it is laid out that President Obama will swallow our nation's grandmothers whole;

The section of the bill where funding for seniors' diabetic care is slashed in favor of funding the Catholic advocacy group NAMBLA; and

The section where H1N1 flu vaccines will now be administered by ACORN; as well as

The provisions for compulsory gay marriage in order to receive medical treatment.

How can we, as active, informed citizens, take a stand since it seems the GOP is now siding "with history" and backing the Demoncrats health reforms?
I award Dr. Betsy five Spotted Dicks for a rather thorough analysis of an impressively large stack of randomized papers and stunning acrobatics with the doggone truth. (No, not the spotted dicks blokes get after a week in Miami-- the british dessert! )
