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.
Heard it... she was on fire.
Definitely the quote of the day!
Amazing well to sell amazing books, Ann. She has a few jabs at Hillary in her most recent, too.
ZING
I cannot imagine anything more predictable, or less interesting, than a cat fight between these two.
Miss Hillary owes the Jersey Girls for diverting attention from her husband's failings in dealing with terrorism.
Saw it on Hannity and Colmes. God how I wish the GOP in Congress had her spine!!
Well done, Ann. Hillary has balls criticizing Coulter after the smear campaigns she orchestrated against Bill's bimbos.
VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!!!!!
She was great! I was so mad at O'Reilly that I sent 2 pithy emails. He just doesn't get it.
I just bought "Godless" yesterday. I've only gotten through the first chapter, but so far it is great. No one can rip apart the hipocracy of liberals better than Ann Coulter.
btw, I thought we had rules about threads concerning her....
Anyone think that the MSM is actually going to print Ann's response to her heinous?
Ann for Pres
Perhaps her heinous can give us some definitive information on her dealings with Anthony Pellicano.
But we know who is the smartest and prettiest with the fastiest wit, the best with a gun and who we would rather have lunch with, lolololol. I am so glad Ann has the courage of her convictions.
