Hillary Health Care Plan Must Really Work
Feb 6, 2008 Satire
Yesterday morning Hillary Clinton was to do an interview on KTVU-TV in San Francisco. She was asked a question about her husband’s role in her campaign and she suddenly started coughing and the coughing continued so that she was unable to complete the interview. I know she has been around screeching all over the place and she was probably screaming quite a bit during the Super Bowl (she has always been a Giants fan) so i am sure she had some throat issues. Still, I could not help wondering if the coughs were forced to avoid tough questions about her hubby.
I realize this is cynical but the Clintons will do anything to avoid tough issues and to win so it is not beyond belief that she would have a coughing fit so that she could skip the interview and move on. However, since she had similar problems leading George Stephanopoulos to tell her to get some tea and honey for a similar coughing fit. Why the skepticism then?
I watched the election results last night and listened to Hillary give her “victory” speech and I noticed that she did not cough during it. She was able to screech and yell and point to people and praise them without a coughing fit that would force her to stop. Drudge billed the KTVU episode as a “Hillary Health Scare” (he has a flair for the dramatic) and it was serious enough to delay taping 48 hours earlier and stop an interview. How did she heal so rapidly that she did not have a coughing spell during her speech which required much more talking than the prior interviews?
I guess her health care plan really does work…
