From an August 14 post by Washington Post Co. blogger Greg Sargent:

If you're a top prospective GOP Senate candidate who's introducing herself to voters in preparation for a nationally watched Senate race, it's probably not great form to spend any time hangin' with the anchor-woman who described Obama and Michelle's fist bump as a “terrorist fist jab.”

That, at any rate, is what national Dems are charging, now that Kelly Ayotte, the national GOP's top choice for Senate in New Hampshire, is set to speak at a local event being keynoted by E.D. Hill, the former Fox anchor who sparked a big controversy when she offered up the aformentioned “terrorist fist jab” line.

Ayotte is set to attend the Nashua Area Republican City Committee's annual “Steakout” fundraiser on September 12th with keynote speaker Hill, according to the local party's calendar.

Sayeth DSCC spokesperson Eric Schultz: “With Kelly Ayotte surrounding herself with Washington insiders, lobbyists, and now this - it raises a lot of questions about what she stands for and what she's all about.” Ayotte's campaign didn't immediately return a request for comment.

In 2003, Hill told USA Today that she's a “primary-voting Democrat.” Hill later said on Bill O'Reilly's now-departed radio show in October 2008 that she had a “transformation” and changed her affiliation to Republican.
