With speculation swirling over Hillary Clinton’s health, comic Jackie Mason has spotted a pattern.

“I noticed that the coughing spells come at very strange times, depending on what the issue is and what the question is. When she’s ahead in the polls, the coughing never showed up. Now, all of the sudden, as she is slipping lower . . . the coughing is getting louder and louder,” he said on AM 970’s “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio.” “If it’s a very hard question, you hear a fantastic cough. The cough never stops! And when the question is a little more pleasant, there is likely less coughing.”

But in Mason’s medical opinion, “Anybody who can’t talk without lying shouldn’t see a doctor . . . She should see a psychiatrist.”
