'Shoe' Thrown at Hillary Clinton During Speech

A woman was taken into custody after throwing what she described as a shoe at Hillary Clinton during a Las Vegas speech.

The incident happened moments after Clinton took the stage Thursday at an Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries meeting at the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.

Clinton ducked but did not appear to be hit by the object, and then joked about it.

"Is that somebody throwing something at me? Is that part of Cirque de Soleil?" Clinton quipped.

She added: "My goodness, I didn't know that solid waste management was so controversial. Thank goodness she didn't play softball like I did."

Ilene Rosen, a witness and the wife of a conventioneer, was seated in the second row when she saw "something orange thrown from the side aisle with papers that fluttered in the air."

Rosen said the woman walked down the aisle and got about six rows from the front of the seating area when she threw the object. The woman then turned around, put her hands in the air and walked toward the back of the room before ushers caught up with her, Rosen said.

Security officers ushered out the woman, who said she threw a shoe but didn't identify herself to reporters or explain the action. Mark Carpenter, spokesman for the recycling institute, said she wasn't part of the convention.

Authorities said she would be arrested.

Rosen said the object that went past Clinton lodged in a decoration at the back of the stage for a moment, but a security officer quickly grabbed it and took it off stage.

After her speech, Clinton answered questions posed by Jerry Simms, the outgoing chairman of the organization. Simms first offered what he called a "deepest apology for that crude interruption."

Clinton answered questions broadly, saying she felt politics today leads people to "do what they think will be rewarded."

An attendee later handed a reporter a piece of paper that was apparently thrown by the woman. It appeared to be a copy of a Department of Defense document labeled confidential and dated August 1967; it referred to an operation "Cynthia" in Bolivia. I wonder what this could be about, if anything?

The former U.S. secretary of state and Democratic senator from New York has been traveling the country giving paid speeches to industry organizations and appearing before key Democratic Party constituents.

Yeah. And she ought to know.

Just read about this, and well, it makes me wonder...

I cannot stand the wench, honestly, the dictionary should replace the definition with Her picture! However, as an American citizen, it makes me pause to think, okay, what if? What if the "shoe" had hit its target square in the face?

As far as the George W. incident, I would be outraged, and screaming bloody murder! But this took place in Las Vegas, so as a simple civilian, I have to wonder about security for our First Families?

I mean honestly, what if something really did happen? I can say it has given me pause to think on that thought, even though I hate the current administration as much as anyone, I would not be happy if domestic terrorism caused a disruption....or maybe I am wrong?

Just my .02,

Never rule out the possibility that it was staged. BO has his fainters and Hill has her shoe fetishists.

Hell, we already take our shoes off to go through TSA screenings at airports, to "make us safer", I can see we'll now have to remove our shoes when the Desil gives a speech.

Which would only seem fitting .... the pungent odor from all those feet, (with a few homeless peoples thrown in for good measure) would fit right in with the bovine scatology spewed from the wicked witch's cake hole.
