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!

Obama would not have coughed unless his teleprompter told him to cough.

I looked at the vid and missed the coughing "fit". More Arianna trying to position Senator Clinton? An absurd headline that missed the point of the question/answer...

I missed the "fit." I think this is the wrong clip.

Is HuffPo fir real?

Maybe you can show a video of Hillary eating lunch with the headline, "HILLARY SWALLOWS", and claim 1st Amendment...

sheesh....

That was not a coughing fit. That was a cough. You are liars.

"..strange bedfellows with Coulter" parish the thought. If Ann the man wasn't so skinny I might entertain the thought invoked by Hillary (perhaps intentionally). Rather, much rather, envision her in bed with Malkin though. That would be hot.

Anyone else appreciate her using the term 'bedfellows' in this context ?

This is advertising.

Puhleez. You call that a coughing fit?? You people (HuffPost) truly have become a tabloid.

[bikerdude]

You notice that she also used her LEFT hand to cover her mouth...How absurd a story! Why not comment on what she said instead of what some rabble rousing wench like mAnn has to say?

[noapologies]

that was a fit? she coughed once, i guess.

Pretty much everyone has to keep from puking up thier lunch whenever that "Man-thing" Ann Coulter is mentioned. Just think of how many guys have tossed after seeing her naked, and realizing she has a penis...like that scene in the "Crying Game".

Good softball, George. When did you go back on the Clinton's payroll?

[nicho]

Coughing fit? WTF? You've apparently never had a coughing fit. She kind of cleared her throat once -- and that gets blown up into a coughing fit.

What is this -- Pox News?

I'd pay to see Hillary and M)Ann go at it in a vat of cherry jello.

What is it with these over the top, melodramatic headlines -"a coughing fit"! Good grief, it sounded more like a- trying not to laugh, hiding it behind a gaspy cough, cough.
