A lot more fun covering McCain than Hillary looks like: Friday March 17, 2000; 3:10 PM EST Hillary's Secret Service Agents Rough Up Reporters as St. Pat's Crowd Boos Secret Service agents protecting First Lady Hillary Clinton roughed up several reporters along the route of New York City's St. Patrick's Day parade, the city's WABC Radio affilliate reported Friday afternoon. To make matters worse, the US Senate candidate was booed at several points along the Fifth Avenue parade route. A crowd of holiday revelers gathered at St. Patrick's Cathedral shouted "Go back to Arkansas" and "Find your own state." "Secret Service agents literally are pushing press to the ground," reported WABC's Glenn Shuck. "They get back up again. Mrs. Clinton stops to shake hands again along the route and she's mobbed again by Secret Service." According to Shuck, Mrs. Clinton's security got rough with reporters at several points along the parade route. "At one point one (Secret Service agent) grabbed me on my right side with his hands, and kind of grabbed my coat to hold me back, definitely forcefully," Shuck told afternoon drivetime talk host Sean Hannity. "The Secret Service just lost their minds, in my opinion," said Shuck. "I mean they just started pushing and shoving; female camera people five feet tall were getting thrown to the ground, cameras flying. Myself, I was grabbed by the shoulder, I was thrown back over. I think somebody from Channel 11 landed on my back. From that point it really didn't get any better." Minutes after Shuck's interview with Hannity, WABC's in-studio reporter George Webber announced, "Hillary Clinton's Secret Service agents today roughed up several members of the news media trying to cover the First Lady's visit to the St. Patrick's Day parade. At least six reporters, including WABC's Glen Shuck, were pushed and tossed to the ground as they tried to get quotes from Mrs. Clinton." The First Lady's reaction: "I love being a New Yorker. And this is the first time I've been able to march in this parade as a New Yorker. I could not be happier to be here." newsmax.com
