Hillary Clinton brushes off heckler with quip

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brushed off a heckler during remarks in San Diego with a joke at the rude audience member's expense.

Clinton was speaking Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics and she was just a few minutes into her remarks when a man in the audience started using a bullhorn to heckle her with sound effects.

"You know, there are some people who miss important developmental stages," Clinton quipped as the man was being led out of the Convention Center.

The former first lady's speech Sunday promoted early literacy and medical care for children.
