Watch Hillary Clinton dodge a thrown shoe in Vegas

Font Size:

At this point, it’s unclear which particular awful Internet video caused someone to do this. But what difference, at this point, does it make?

Laura Myers, Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Hillary Clinton’s Las Vegas adventure Thursday might be good training if the Democrat runs for president and has to dodge critics — in this case one armed with a strappy shoe.

A female protester threw the footwear at Clinton near the start of her speech at a metal recycling conference as well as some papers that fluttered in the air like wings, prompting the former secretary of state to declare: “Is that a bat?”

When somebody threw a shoe at George Bush, it was awesome. When somebody threw a tomato at Sarah Palin, it was terrific.

This? This is an outrage!

But Hillary’s okay, everybody, and the culprit was arrested. Justice has prevailed. God bless America.
