Hillary's a shoe-in

[Gob]

A woman threw a shoe at Hillary Clinton on Thursday as the former secretary of state was delivering a speech at a Las Vegas hotel, but Clinton dodged it and continued with her remarks, a US Secret Service spokesman said.




Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie said the shoe-thrower was not a ticketed guest for Ms Clinton's 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," Mr Ogilvie said.

Footage of the incident broadcast by KTNV-TV showed Ms Clinton, 66, crouching to dodge an object as she stood on stage.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper reported that the former first lady joked about the incident as she continued her speech to some 1000 people attending a metal recycling conference.

"Is that somebody throwing something at me?" Ms Clinton asked, according to the Review-Journal. "Is that part of Cirque du Soleil?"

The newspaper quoted Ms Clinton as saying, "My goodness, I didn't know that solid waste management was so controversial."

The throwing of shoes at political figures is a form of protest in many parts of the world. 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.

Shorely shome mishtake? Ishn't it "shrew-in"?

Hillary's cover of Gangnam style didn't go down well.

[Lord Jim]

Maybe she was actually protesting against that hideous backdrop on the stage....

I could definitely see throwing a shoe at that...

[MajGenl.Meade]

I think Bill commissioned it - it represents vaginas

[Econoline]

"Engineered vaginas"?

[dgs49]

I definitely think that anyone going to see Hillary speak in the future should be required to remove their shoes. Can't have people bruising the Next President of The United (Fucking) States.

[Lord Jim]

I've been wondering what the motive may have been here...

Did she have any association with some gadfly protest group like Code Pink or The Occupy Movement? Did she have some personal gripe? Was it just somebody who was mentally disturbed?

It strongly appears that mental health issues may have been involved:

Woman Who Threw Shoe At Hillary Clinton Has Bizarre History With Aurora Shooter

A woman accused of hurling a soccer cleat at former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton during a speech last week reportedly has a bizarre history with accused Aurora shooter James Holmes.

Alison Ernst, 36, of Phoenix, was released from Clark County Jail with a misdemeanor disorderly conduct summons after the incident during Clinton's speech for the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries on Thursday. Nearly two years prior to the shoe incident, Ernst appeared in a Colorado courtroom during one of Holmes' appearances, claiming she had evidence that he was innocent of the Aurora movie theatre shooting, which killed 12 and left 58 wounded in July 2012, the New York Daily News reports.

After Ernst was removed from the courtroom she filed a motion alleging that Holmes was "mind-controlled" by a ring of "worldwide crooks." The motion was later dismissed by a judge, the National Journal reports.

"Holmes is an innocent man. James Holmes must be released to me asap. This is a huge conspiracy," read Ernst's motion, which also alleged that a movie theatre chain owner was the culprit of the Aurora shooting and claimed he was part of a massive conspiracy led by a group that "want to control the world through false flag attacks akin to George Orwell 1984 [sic]."

In another bizarre twist, Ernst later posted a preliminary injunction document to her personal website in which said she would seek a restraining order against Holmes, whom she claimed was possessing her mind.

“James enters my head like Dennis Quaid in ‘Innerspace’ and he zooms to my heart and plays with it and forces me to care for him,” the document read. “I seek a restraining order to stop Holmes from entering my mind through subliminal messaging and causing me to be obsessed with him on a daily basis.”

Ernst is due back in court June 24 for charges relating to the shoe-throwing incident.

Well, I ain't no Sigmund Freud, but that there looks like mental illness to me...

Hillary had to go to the doctor afterwards; appears she was clogged up.

Miss Ernst is also a frequenter of the type of websites Steve likes to hang out at. This:

a massive conspiracy led by a group that "want to control the world through false flag attacks akin to George Orwell 1984

is standard tinfoil hat boiler plate; you'll find the phrase "false flag" and references to Orwell on most paranoid/conspiracy sites...

There's no way to determine this of course, but it would be interesting to know what percentage of folks who visit these sites regularly have a history of mental illness....

I suspect it's substantially higher than the percentage for those who regularly visit cnn.com....

I thought she was just the next in a long line of critics of Hillary's clothing choices.
