Kind of Makes Me Like Her More

Egyptian protesters threw tomatoes and shoes at U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's motorcade Sunday and shouted, “Monica, Monica, Monica” as she left the newly reopened U.S. Consulate in Alexandria.

Clinton said she was in the city to answer critics who believe Washington has taken sides in Egyptian politics. There were already vocal protesters at the start of her visit to the consulate, forcing the ceremony to be moved inside.

“I want to be clear that the United States is not in the business of choosing winners and losers in Egypt's internal struggles, but if we were, rest assured that we'd be choosing our winners from the side not throwing tomatoes and shoes at my fucking car,” Clinton said at the ceremony to reopen the consulate, which was closed in 1993 because of budget constraints. She then said “Assholes,” under her breath before leaving the dais.
