Conservative author Ann Coulter is firing back at Sen. Hillary Clinton, after the former first lady attacked her for being "vicious [and] mean-spirited" towards a group of politically active 9/11 widows.
"I think if she's worried about people being mean to women she should have a talk with her husband," Coulter told radio host Sean Hannity, who was hosting a book signing for the conservative firebrand on Long Island.
"This is, I remind you, Bill Clinton's wife," Coulter added. "[And I'm the one who's] mean to women?"
Earlier in the day, Mrs. Clinton complained about Coulter's attacks on the Jersey Girls, a group of 9/11 widows who blamed President Bush for the attacks that killed their husbands and who campaigned for John Kerry in 2004.
"Perhaps [Coulter's] book should have been called 'Heartless,"' the top Democrat said. "I know a lot of the widows and family members who lost loved ones on 9/11. They never wanted to be a member of a group that is defined by the tragedy of what happened."
An angry Clinton added that she found it "unimaginable that anyone in the public eye could launch a vicious, mean-spirited attack on people whom I've known over the last four and a half years to be concerned deeply about the safety and security of our country."
But Coulter told Hannity: "She may know the 9/11 widows, but you and I know Juanita Broaddrick" - a reference to one of Mr. Clinton's accusers.
Coulter delivered her broadsides against Mrs. Clinton as a phalanx of TV and print reporters looked on.
The heavy coverage was prompted by the New York Daily News, which frontpaged Coulter's comments on the Jersey Girls in Wednesday editions.
I think that it is real...and she ate it ...8-((
It was not photoshopped...IMHO.
LOL! Hillary, what the 5 fingers say to the face?
Yes, the truth is ugly, but that doesn't mean it should be silent, how wonderful to have such beauty speak it!
I don't pay any attention to what Ann wears. I do appreciate what she has to say. If she's got money in the bank, good for her. I think you are quibbling.
If it's the true, and she backs it up with solid evidence, then it is not irresponsible. A distinction that you don't get with the leftist writers. For example, the recent tongue and quill produced by Robert F. Kennedy Jr's Rolling Stones Was the 2004 Election Stolen, which did not stand up to any scrutiny.
I haven't read Coulter's new book - yet. But what I know of Ann Coulter, she is very good at documenting her writings.
I guess Ann could have been more diplomatic and said, A few Trade Tower widows are behaving publically which is consistent with people who are enjoying in the aftermath of their husbands deaths.
But that's not Ann. :)
You have proved nothing except that you are an idiot looking for a fight.
I don't begrudge her her money and I used to agree with her almost all the time but she appears to be in a 3 way race with Malkin and Ingram and now Noonin as to who can make the most over the top statement of the day.
Boy, how I love Ann, the one/two punches are priceless.
Hey, Ann you go girl and hope you stir up the pot to a boiling!!
I want to see you on every magazine's front page in the US and abroad, and don't you dare to back off on me!
Annie, you're doing a super great job exposing the hypocrisy of the left. It hurts them big time and that's why they are besides themselves.
You go Ann and watch your back girl!
2 pithy e-mails...LMFAO!
Ann is that you?
She specifically used the term,"The Jersey Girls" which are the four who bill themselves as such, and are politically active liberals, who use their widowhood to avoid criticism.
You know watching her on Hannity and Colmes tonight I truly could see it in her face at the book signing...she is beyond fed up with the spineless chumps we elect and she is doing a major calling out that has needed to be done for quite some time.
I wish Ann nothing but the best and continued success as she faces off with the lunatic press in the days and weeks ahead.
I think she is on Lou Dobbs tomorrow night.
Be that as it may. You prefer to attach the messenger over the message. While the messenger can have any manner of motives, its the facts expressed, regardless the messenger, that one finds meaningful.
Hillary, is that you?
Gosh aren't these the same sort of charges you were making about tom Tancredo last night. No Principles, in it just for the money. I'm beginning to believe that you just dont like anyone who is a little farther right than a RINO.
"but she appears to be in a 3 way race with Malkin and Ingram and now Noonin as to who can make the most over the top statement of the day."
I don't think so. I think what is going on is a natural backlash to the libs. And if "over the top" describes the truth, then so be it.
;)
I wish it could be the spark to light a firestorm of calling out.
These spineless chumps are inedible dangerous weeds in our garden.
They need pulling and burning back to compost.
LMAO!!!!!
