On Scarborough Country, Schlussel misrepresented Hillary Clinton, defended Coulter

SUMMARY: On MSNBC's Scarborough Country, right-wing radio host Debbie Schlussel falsely claimed that "there wasn't a peep" from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton when Suha Arafat, wife of former Palestinian National Authority president Yasir Arafat, stated that Israelis "poison Palestinian water and air and cause cancer for them." In fact, Clinton disavowed Arafat's remarks after receiving an official translation. Schlussel also joined other conservatives and media figures in defending right-wing pundit Ann Coulter's recent attacks against widows of victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
