A woman threw a shoe at Hillary Clinton as she was delivering a speech at a Las Vegas hotel, but Clinton dodged it and continued with her remarks. The shoe-thrower was not a ticketed guest for the speech at the Mandalay Bay hotel and had been spotted by Secret Service agents and hotel security guards before the incident. As agents and hotel security approached her she threw a shoe and was immediately taken into custody by the Secret Service and hotel security. According to reports the former first lady joked about the incident as he continued her speech to some 1,000 people attending a metal recycling conference. "Is that somebody throwing something at me?" Clinton asked, "Is that part of Cirque du Soleil? My goodness, I didn't know that solid waste management was so controversial," she said. Throwing of shoes to popular politicians is becoming popular, remember in 2008 a shoe was hurled at then-President George W. Bush when he appeared at a Baghdad press conference with the Iraqi prime minister.
