In the middle east, throwing shoes at e.g. a president means he should leave his administrative post. Throwing a shoe in this region is, at the same time, the most contemptuous action you can show for someone.
But I doubt the woman knew that ..

CNN Special report...
 
On the Special report;
Hill-dog and the cobblers son.
Mrs Clinton claims,
"I didn't know he had a girlfriend who was an Olympic shoe thrower!"

It was just my size and a pity she didn't toss its counterpart she went on to say.

Tune in later tonight for our special report on Wolfe Blitzer's female footwear fetish.

She's not the first and I doubt the last either.

I wonder how many agents got fired for allowing the crazy woman to even get close enough to toss a shoe? Those guys are supposed to take a bullet for their charges but, I guess they draw the line at footwear.:haha:

That's why! :up:

Though taking off my shoe maybe would cause collateral damage, so in cases like this I personally would opt for the slap in the face plus the firing squad waiting before the door.

I refer you to Platapus' statement:

And I bet you weren't so happy when it was Bush who had shoes thrown at him :down:

But I won't hold anything against you :)

I honestly thought it was pretty amusing when Bush had a shoe thrown at him...but Clinton made my day....

Well, you know what they say...if the shoe fits.

I think the point was that no matter how badly we may think of someone in the public eye (and I think very poorly of her, when I think of her at all), wishing physical harm on someone is just wrong. If you would like to see her beaned with footwear, which might be funny, would you also like to see her lose an eye to the right type of shoe. Crippled? In a coma? Dead?

If so, that might say more about your qualities as a human being that hers.

Well....I don't mean her serious harm or death or anything...but I think that it would be amusing if she had been hit. :hmmm:

They have regular drills for this sort of thing at the state department.
Hil-dog was in no danger and showed how spry the old gal still is.

Not to mention, ducking prosecution for so many years leaves you with a sixth sense.:O:
