Clinton dodges shoe
Print Edition
A woman rushed past security and threw a shoe at Hillary Clinton in Las Vegas on Thursday, but it missed and the former US secretary of state laughed off the incident.
The woman launched the shoe at the 66-year-old former First Lady as she was addressing a meeting of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries.
Clinton, a possible candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, ducked as the object whizzed past just left of her head.
“What was that, a bat?... Is that somebody throwing something at me?” Clinton said.
Regaining her composure and sense of humor, she added: “Is that part of Cirque du Soleil?” — a reference to the acrobatic dance troupe, which has several shows in Vegas.
The woman who threw the shoe was immediately escorted out, and later arrested.
