Betsy McCaughey, possibly the first person to equate end-of-life counseling with government-enforced euthanasia, has resigned from the medical equipment company where she was a director.

McCaughey, a former lieutenant governor of New York, appeared on The Daily Show last night to talk about health care reform, and was repeatedly torn down by host Jon Stewart.

Cantrel Medical Corp., which creates specialized medical devices such as dialysis machines, announced today that McCaughey submitted her letter of resignation yesterday.
