Fergawdsakes. Shoe Truthers? Really?

The right wing is staging one of the stupidest hissy fits ever. They are saying that Hillary Clinton staged that shoe throwing incident the other day. It’s so dumb even Rush seems a little bit embarrassed by it and I didn’t think that was possible:
Rush Limbaugh jumped on board the crazy train Monday, telling listeners that he can “totally relate” to those who believe that “everything the Clintons do is staged or choreographed.” While he has not studied the incident in detail, he believes what people told him about Clinton’s reaction not being “natural.”
“I’m sorry, I’m ill-equipped to comment,” Limbaugh said, proceding, of course to comment at some length. “Maybe it’s because, in my subconscious, I think it was staged, or set up, or whatever. … I don’t know why anybody would be throwing a shoe at Hillary unless — maybe it’s an attempt to make the Benghazi people look like nuts and lunatics and wackos.”
You don’t need to have shoes thrown at you to make the Benghazi people look like nuts and lunatics.
The think Clinton didn’t “react naturally” because in their minds she should have jumped on a broom and flown at the assailant cackling madly and screaming “I’ll get you my pretty!!!!”
Jesus. Did they find that plane yet?
