Chimpy is an idiot. He just stared at the shoe-thrower.

He has obviously lived in his bubble so long, that he couldn't even understand what was happening.

If I was as hated as he was, and saw someone hurl anything my way, no one would get a second shot, or even a second glimpse of me.

1. He did more than that

4. He ducked, but he came up looking for more, like a deer in headlights.

6. Indeed... pretty good reflexes for a drug-addled drunk...

I must admit... But then we do know that the reptilian portion of his brain, does function.

2. "Obama wants to take away our Shoes"

I don't know what that had to do with your OP
but I thought it would be the next talking point

7. I'd guarantee the Bushies* would institute that...

if they had any future public encounters planned that might include their unscreened detractors.

3. and he something like "I don't know what his beef is..." Common sense would tell him

it's something to do with the Iraq war.

5. I am surprised he was alert enough to duck. nt

8. In his defense

I think my initial reaction would be: "Is that a shoe?" and I'd be too confused to duck.

9. Looked to me as though he was used to that kind of thing.

11. What was it he said? "Laura!? Condi!?!"

[sofa king]

10. He was thinking, "can I get away with murdering this guy in the next four weeks?"
