¿Quien es mas macho?

Not long ago, when asked whether Hillary Clinton stood a "good chance," Ann Coulter responded:
Good chance of what? Coming out of the closet? I’d say that’s about even money.
Gosh. Is she implying that the Senator (who is married and has a daughter) is a lesbian? Unless Coulter has personal experience to back up this claim, we must presume that she made the comment based purely on the way Hillary looks and carries herself.
