She was able to dodge the object, which she thought might have been a bat, but witnesses described it as a shoe wrapped in paper. The stationed reported the object had been thrown by a woman in a cocktail dress, who was escorted out afterward. "Is that someone throwing something at me? Is that a part of Cirque du Soleil? My goodness, I didn't know solid waste management was so controversial," Clinton joked, before finishing her speech. The shoe-throwing incident brings to mind what happened to former President George W. Bush at a 2008 joint press conference in Iraq, where he dodged shoes thrown by an Iraqi journalist. His shoe-dodging record, however, now stands at two. </div>
