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.
Wow. You must have a really exciting life!!
But doggone it - she our bi*ch
They both have the courage of their convictions. Clinton's conviction is to get re-elected, and slamming Coulter won't cost her a single vote and will set her base to cheering. Coulter's conviction is to rake in the dough by selling as many books as she can, and slamming Clinton won't cost her a single sale and might boost her fans to buy an extra copy. Both got exactly what they wanted by firing at an easy target.
Rape, Karl. The word is rape.
Bill clinton is a rapist several times over, and hillary is his enabler.
I saw her interview on Hannity tonight.
She was dead on target.
It's great to have someone like her to work her way behind the enemies lines (tactics) and expose them for all who want to see them.
There sure are a lot on FR these days who want to remain willfully ignorant of our enemies tactics, and want others to remain ignorant too.
Well I don't know how interesting it is, but I don't need the Coulter/Clinton freak show for entertainment. You're welcome to it.
Funny how AC can slap down HRC with one sentence. Exactly why Hillary cant win (or run) in 2008.
I wonder if the Hill will open her mouth some more on this subject.
Then why are you here?
I'll bet you pooped in the public swimming pools when you were a kid, didn't ya :-)

Maybe Hillary was planning to also use 9-11 widows for a 2008 election bid and Ann just hurt that.
How stupid is Hillary to not see the response coming?
I can't stand Lost myself... so change the channel!
