Former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Las Vegas yesterday giving a speech about solid waste management at a convention inside the Mandalay Bay resort.
But with the way she handled a woman throwing a shoe at her, she easily could have done a five-minute set at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club inside the MGM Grand, as well.
According to Fox News, Clinton continued to receive applause and laughter as well as a standing ovation as she threw out zingers like “My goodness, I didn’t know solid waste management was so controversial,” and “Thank goodness she didn’t play softball like I did.”
The middle-aged blonde woman who threw the shoe was taken into federal custody, and a U.S. Secret Service agent in Las Vegas said that she would face criminal charges, although he wasn’t quite sure yet what those charges would be.
Perhaps one of them will be stealing a scene from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery:
