Video: Woman in Las Vegas throws shoe at Hillary Clinton

Video: Woman in Las Vegas throws shoe at Hillary Clinton

Hillary was speaking, in the Mandalay Bay Hotel, at a conference on scrap recycling, because you do a lot of that kind of thing when you make your living from speaking fees.

A woman, obviously young, and apparently stupid (see the sophomoric victory walk as she’s escorted out), threw an object at Clinton, reported later to be a shoe.

Seems like a waste of a perfectly good shoe, but we report, you decide on that head.  Hillary handled it pretty well, after first wondering if the flying object had been a bat.  She got off a few one-liners about solid-waste recycling and the shoe-thrower’s poor aim.  Just getting off a one-liner about solid-waste recycling seems worthy of some kind of award.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Hillary is no stranger to the increasingly popular footwear projectile.  The still-unidentified woman who threw the shoe today may have been channeling the Egyptian crowds that voted with their shoes against Hillary’s management of U.S. foreign policy in July of 2012.
