Hillary ducks shoe thrown at her during speech
American Thinker ^ | 04/11/2014 | Rick Moran

If the shoe fits...

Hillary Clinton receives $250,000 in speaking fees  - peanuts compared to Bill  - but I'll bet she'd give it all back to avoid this kind of embarrassment.

Clinton was addressing a convention of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries in Las Vegas when an unknown woman approached the stage and tossed a shoe at the former secretary of state.

Hillary ducked and then joked about the incident:

Mark Carpenter, a representative for the organization hosting the event — the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries — stressed that the woman “was not affiliated with our organization and was not credentialed for this event.”

“Our staff denied her access before she later rushed past security,” he continued in a statement. “An ISRI staffer then stopped her as she approached the stage. She was then handed over to law enforcement.”

The incident is reminiscent of a 2008 scene in which then-President George W. Bush ducked during a news conference in Baghdad when an Iraqi attendee threw two shoes at him.

Sounds like a staged event to make cankles look like a victim to me.

That’s a very strange pose....

*******************************************************************

Nah, that’s the type of reaction when she hears something along the lines of “Putin’s on the phone for you...”.

And it’s funny how her first thought was that it was a bat flying around her head. That’s something she’s familiar with and used to.

Why did they say she “ducked”. She reacted way after the show had passed by her. Her reaction was way way off. As Reagan said “I forgot to duck”.

Quite accurate throws by the shoe guy. Both in the mellon zone had Pres been as slow as Cankles.

Someone spotted a POS in the scrap recycling.

That was for real as anyone can see. This one with Hitlery was contrived to make her look heroic.

She did NOT DUCK. The show missed, and then she flinched, and started muttering about bats.

another orchestrated show??

That would be my guess. When you watch the video, she appears to be smirking through the whole 'incident'. She treated it like she was doing stand up comedy with a *planted* heckler in the audience. And all the brain numbed dolts will say, "Man she's one quick comeback." And Hitlery just put herself in the headlines...

Too bad it wasn’t an anvil (or buckshot).

$250,000 to speak. I would take half that and have more expertise than her on any topic (well most any that don’t involve lying, Bill, cankles...)
