I really don’t care if somebody wants to throw their grubby old sneakers at Hillary Clinton. Nobody got hurt and it probably actually improved Hillary’s chances. But now that they’ve identified the shoe-ter, so to speak, the story has taken a turn for the hilarious.
Alison Ernst
Alison Ernst, the crazy teabagger lady who threw the famous shoe, had kind of a weird love/hate/obsession thing going on vis a vis James Holmes, the crazy eyed weird dude who shot up a cinema in Aurora, Colorado a couple years back, killing 12 people, injuring 58, and causing 0 changes in gun laws. She stood up at his trial and started screaming about how she could prove he was innocent and was just ‘mind controlled by a ring of world wide crooks.’ In a more highly evolved society, she may have at that point got the help she needs, or at least been fitted with an ankle bracelet, but things being what they are, the judge was just happy to evict her from the courtroom and move on, because there’s no shortage of crazy people in the world. What the hell can you do?
(I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but – the guy who just killed 3 people at a Jewish Community Center in Kansas City is from Aurora, Missouri.)
James Holmes
After that, she soured on Holmes, maybe he wasn’t answering her letters, I don’t know. She applied for a restraining order against him, which may seem superfluous, being as how he’s in prison and all, but that’s the old-fashioned, narrow way of looking at things. “James enters my head like Dennis Quaid in ‘Inner Space’ and he zooms to my heart and plays with it and forces me to care for him,” she wrote in the application.
So, obviously nuts. I’m sure my right wing friends will say “Why do you say she’s a teabagger, though? What evidence do you have?” It’s simple, really. If she were, like most people, apolitical, she wouldn’t have been at a Hillary Clinton speech in the first place. She’d have wound up throwing that shoe at the girl behind the counter at McDonald’s. If she were a political liberal, she would have picked a different target.
Dennis Quaid in ‘Inner Space’
The fact that she was at that speech, prepared to toss a shoe to prove her point, indicates a deep and passionate hatred for Hillary Clinton, a trait which, admittedly, is not unknown among Democrats but it’s pretty much universal among Republicans teabaggers.
She was charged with disorderly conduct, which is a misdemeanor.
