Clinton Responds To Coulter Support With Coughing Fit

Candidates on the campaign trail are frequently faced with any number of tough questions and confronted on all sorts of difficult and divisive issues. But only Hillary Clinton has had to face down the harrowing prospect of earning the support of wackadoodle dandy Ann Coulter. When asked to respond to the news by George Stephanopoulos, Clinton was either forced to choke back a dollop of gorge or else found the prospect so amusing that it prompted a coughing jag. Anyway, who can blame Clinton for reacting the way she did? It definitely "humanizes" her!

Well .. have to give Hillary credit for always coming with an answer why she should be the President, whatever the question may be!

Wow..."Cou­ghing fit"?

I would hat to think what would happen if the media found a zit on Hillary's face.

"In a major upset today, a massive, life threatening, ulcerated skin tumor was found on Mrs. Clinton's face. While no one would comment on the malignancy of the disease, Dr Fubar has this to say...."

"Coughing fit"? Are you kidding me? That's another in the growing legion of exaggerated or completely misleading HuffPo headlines. What the hell is wrong with you? You've got an excellent site and you sully it with this outrageous bullshit. A tiny little involuntary cough and that's inferred as commentary by Hillary? The merits of her answer are irrelevant to the fact that your headline is total crap.

Yes, she's a practiced cougher... she can cough, cry and fart on cue. It the Clintons secret weapon.

Ah, the "coughing fit" scenario is being play. They held this out for the end. But just wait for the fart - it will be the death blow to the Obama campaign. It will be a MIGHTY WIND!

I cant wait to see what will happen when Dubya endorses Hillary.

Sure to Poison her Koolaid.

Coulter and her ilk will Shake Hillarys death rattle.

Hey did anyone here see the mAnn video???

SHE WAS WEARING AQUA! NOT BLACK!

No little black cocktail dress. I have never seen her wear anything but black, maybe once, black skirt, white shirt. But blue? Maybe mAnn went for the final surgery and had it removed? They still can't touch the adam's apple! mAnn wearing other than black represents a big change in strategy! A kinder, gentler mAnn? Is she impersonating Cindy McCain?

Colorful minds want to know!

NO!!!! Hillary is elated. As she said, "I'll take every vote I can get." Wow! REPUBLICANS are are eager for that endorsement. They know the outcome if it happens.

That was an authentic cough because hours earlier I seen live footage of her campaigning in that same outfit and she was coughing up a storm. If I visited that many States in such a short period of time I'd probably get pneumonia from it, from all those people around me. I go to the Supermarket and I come home with a cold.

Jason, I too appreciated seeing Hillary's human side this morning.

Her instant reaction of coughing was appropriate to the question and had me laughing.

An endorsement from Ann Coultergeist or a rattlesnake bite... Hmmm.... Which would Hilary prefer? At least there's antivenom for the snake bite....

[jadez]

Man..ahhh.­.Ann ,Coulter and
Man..ahh hillary, clinton
PERFECT together.

I thought that when she heard of Ann Coulter's support during the insightful interview she actually vomited in her mouth. Now that is a true humanizing moment. I have never seen Obama vomit in his mouth. Where is the passion?

[mcaste2]

I probably would have reacted the same way!!!

I just want to know, did they change Anne's meds or something???

Clinton 08!!!

[mcnairbo]

Did Jason Linkin say Hillary Clinton appeared human???? You're getting soft boy!!! You're suspended from the Post for one week!

[wadenelson1]

Ann Coulter's enough to make anyone gag.
