Please, join me as we step inside the mind of the president-elect as he becomes the target of a drive-by shoeing...
Hmm. That man over to the right - looks like he's waving. You know, most people wave from side to side; he appears to be waving from front to back.
Oh, I see. He wasn't waving; he was winding up to throw something at me. Hmm. It, uh, appears to be a shoe.
Interesting. That shoe looks to be a bit worn at the heel. I need to consult with Rahm about whether we have made any promises to the leather-workers' union.
Throwing a shoe is probably an indication of discontent. Maybe if I take Sean Hannity up on his offer to buy me a beer, people wouldn't be throwing shoes.
I probably ought to consider some course of action to avoid actually being struck by the shoe; it appears to be aimed at my head, and I believe that would hurt.
Do I have any advisors on shoe-avoidance? It seems like I should have someone to advise me on situations like this.
I wonder if Hillary ever had to dodge shoes in Bosnia. Seems like she would have said something about it.
Hmm. The shoe is getting much closer now. Looks like Italian leather. Can't say anything bad about the shoe, now; it might be perceived as being an insult to the Italians.
Oh, look at that stitchi...ow.
