Hillary Clinton ducks after a woman threw a shoe toward her Thursday in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS, NEV.—A woman was taken into custody after throwing what she described as a shoe at Hillary Clinton as the potential presidential contender gave a speech in Las Vegas.
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.
In 2008, an Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at President George W. Bush during a news conference with Iraq’s prime minister in Baghdad.

The only thing wrong with the woman’s action is that the object missed its target. It should have been a dead hit.
