On the August 23 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter asserted: "[I]f you attack the Clintons publicly, make sure all your friends know that you are not planning suicide, that you're not careless when you drive a car." Coulter was apparently referring to conservative allegations that the Clintons were somehow involved in the death of Clinton deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster. As Media Matters for America has repeatedly documented (here, here, and here), numerous investigations have determined that Foster's death was a suicide. The Office of the Independent Counsel -- then headed by Republican Kenneth Starr -- completed its inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Foster's death with a report issued on October 11, 1997, which concluded that "based on investigation and analysis of the evidential record ... Mr. Foster committed suicide by gunshot in Fort Marcy Park."
I know this isn't a joke, but I think it is funny.

Vince Foster was only one of several. It must just be Clintonian bad luck
