A GREAT comment from naragonl on Politico. Funny I FORGOT all the reasons I don't "care" for Hillary. This reminded me. Sure hope she does get the nomination. Many DEMS that have seen her work first hand won't support her. Without her hench mob enforcement system she would have not had a chance. After reading this, I think I would vote for McCain if Hillary is up as Dem. A Ron Paul supporter here. Less govt. PLEASE; hint, hint!

Quote: interesting: Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the
most qualified candidate for president based on her 'record,' which she
says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or
'co-president' - and her seven years in the Senate. Here is a reminder
of what that record includes: - As First Lady, Hillary assumed
authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers
over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Patrick Moynihan, key
votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would 'demonize' anyone
who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote
in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election,
her party lost control of both the House and Senate.) - Hillary assumed
authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first two
recommendations, Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, were forced to withdraw
their names from consideration. She then chose Janet Reno. Janet Reno
has since been described by Bill himself as 'my worst mistake.' -
Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights
Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to
be withdrawn. - Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web
Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice
Department, White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell
was later imprisoned, Foster committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced
to resign. - Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons,
Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of White House
security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of
up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (“Filegate”) and the widespread
use of drugs by White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied
knowing him. FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a Senate
Judiciary Committee hearing in 1996, both the drug use and Hillary's
involvement in hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White
House Liaison Office, after serving seven presidents for over thirty
years. - In order to open “slots” in the White House for her friends
the Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be
awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel Office
fired; they were reported to the FBI for 'gross mismanagement' and
their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one,
Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White
House funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than
two hours. - Another of Hil lary's assumed duties was directing the
'bimbo eruption squad' and scandal defense: ---- She urged her husband
not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. ---- She refused to release the
Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as
Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was
spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill
lying about and later admitting his affairs. ---- Then they had to
settle with Paula Jones after all. ---- And Bill lost his law license
for lying to the grand jury ---- And Bill was impeached by the House.
---- And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and
obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, 'I
do not recall,' 'I have no recollection,' and 'I don't know' 56 times
under oath). - Hillary wrote 'It Takes a Village,' demonstrating her
Socialist viewpoint. - Hill ary decided to seek election to the Senate
in a state she had never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists
in order to get Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get
Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother's clients, for
a small fee, to get financial support. - Then Hillary left the White
House, but later had to return $200,000 in White House furniture,
china, and artwork she had stolen. - In the campaign for the Senate,
Hillary played the 'woman card' by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a
bully picking on her. - Hillary's husband further protected her by
asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012
many records of their time in the White House, including much of
Hillary's correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits
to force the release of those records.) - As the junior Senator from
New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation. She has deferred to
the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even
on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the cleanup
of Ground Zero after 9/11. - Hillary's one notable vote; supporting the
plan to invade Iraq, she has since disavowed. Quite a resume’. Sounds
more like an organized crime family’s rap sheet.

AND....coughing can be caused by a sudden intake of breath, as a reaction to an unpleasant event (or question....)

Hey I like that #3 --> Complaining about that time of the month

 If (well, when) The Dragon Lady loses her temper in a debate or reaction to a challenging question she could always explain later that it was "that time of the month." Then, if Obama or Romney or Rush or Hannity or any other man criticizes her for that excuse, her female supporters can retort, "Easy for him to say that! He doesn't know what we women go through each month!"

Another brilliant (albeit shameless, silly, and disgusting) way for the She-devil to win more women sympathy votes that would be.

So what's your take, Leon? Did she just happen to have an innocent coughing fit lasting no less than 26 seconds (just long enough to proclude having to answer that uncomfortable question), being neither a dodge nor health trouble? What was it, then?

Hillary has shown herself to be nothing if not calculating and decietful, so why should we believe this was honest? The first batch of coughs might be believable, but the much longer, second batch (interspersed with comments like thanking McGowan for not pressing the question) was either forced, or indicative of lung problems, in my humble opinion.

Still, if you think it was all pure coincidince, why not come out and say so?
