Perino Back—With Shiner

Press secretary takes a hit during shoe melee

Share

(Newser) – White House Press Secretary Dana Perino took a hit for her boss during the Iraq shoe fiasco, Gawker reports. The unsung victim came home with collateral damage—a black eye she's dubbed her "shoe-venir." Perino was hit by a microphone pole sent flying by Bush's lead agent as he jumped to rescue the president from the flying boots, MSNBC details.
