Clinton would have done it only as part of a carefully staged setup for the cameras.

Had it been Slick, it would have gone this way:

Bill and Hillary walk towards Marine One. Wind blows Marine's cover off. Bill chuckles and Hillary cackles. As they ascend the steps, Axelrod rushes up with an idea: what if they film the President retrieving the cover and giving it back to the Marine? "It'd look great!" says the Chief Strategist.

Problem is, of course, it's already happened. "No problem!" says Axelrod, and finds a big fan. He places it off to the left, and positions everyone for the cut.

"And...ACTION!"

Bill and Hillary walk to the helicopter. The fan blows, but the Marine's cover doesn't come off.

"What the f@#$!" curses Hillary, and storms toward the helicopter. She flicks the Marine's cover off his head as she passes by him. "There!" She cackles and goes inside.

Bill sighs. "OK, David, let's do this." They try again. This time, they get it right!

"OK," Axelrod nods to the assembled media, "you all have your evening news story," they all hurry to their vans to take care of the dispatch.
