How can we put this politely? "Choked up," our hind quarters . . . In the most blatant case of the MSM covering for a potential health issue surrounding a liberal candidate that this NewsBuster can remember, CNN's Brianna Keilar has described a Hillary Clinton coughing fit as a case of Clinton getting "choked up."

Readers are urged to watch this clip from Hillary's speech in Harlem today. This is someone experiencing a serious, extended, coughing fit. Yet on Don Lemon's CNN show this evening, Keilar described this as Hillary being "choked up so badly that she struggled to speak for a few minutes and they actually cheered to fill the time." Rightttt.

Once again, from the inimitable comedy team Puke and Snot:

Puke: I, sir, go by many names, but around here, I am known as Ralph Puke.

Snot: I spoke to your ex-wife last week, several of your names came up.
I am Sir Thomas Snot.

Puke: What an...unusual name.

Snot: It's phlegmish! [ Flemish ]

Speculation is a more severe throat problem, likely made worse by alcohol. She’s had at least three spasms like this in public, the earliest last August, again in November.

The video is available on Drudge.

It looks like a bolt came loose and lodged in the speech synthesizer unit...

The FBI probably has some damaging info that cannot be ignored and she’s starting to set up her retirement. If she gives up her candidacy will the FBI still pursue her or let her walk. The plot is sickening. She wants us all to feel sorry for this poor sick grandma.

Or it’s just a hairball. I wonder who’s hair she’s coughing up.

[RightFighter]

This is not the first time in recent weeks that she’s had these extended coughing fits.

Gotta be one of Huma’s little muzzie rats nest hairballs!

[bigbob]

Her bulls#it is backing up on her

[DoughtyOne]

I still say, gagging is not a cough.

[Toespi]

She has distemper.

[sten]

looks like she has throat cancer.

oh well.

[Milton Miteybad]

Sounds like she’s barfin’ up a lung.

You just posted that to see how many people would confess to blowing beer out their nose all over their computer screen.

Hah! It's too early for my first beer...

[crz]

Not fast enough.

[Squantos]

YEP.....COPD ?

[Daniel Ramsey]

Fukishima fits?

A bit of an over radiated thyroid?

[corlorde]

She started coughing uncontrollably while testifying at a Bengazi hearing as well

Not defending Hillary in anyway, but...I (unfortunately) take coughing fits like that for weeks (months!) after a cold. They are broncho spasms. A dry feeling irritated spot in the throat, I start coughing and I cannot stop. If I’m talking it makes it worse, and I can’t find my voice. It’s awful.

I have asthma (does Hillary?) and my rescue inhaler (or cold water w/crushed ice I can swallow) will “quiet” my fit.

I have coughed so furiously that I gag,’and during the duration of this “coughing” routine my ribs actually hurt. I don’t like Hillary, but that nagging, dry cough is tormenting (especially at night).

Ah ha! A cat trap! If anyone thinks she wants a tummy rub, they are about to lose the skin on their arm.
