Throwing it out there

Way too much attention has been given to the shoe throwing incident of last week, but I couldn't help laughing at this offering by a reader of Jay Nordlinger:

If you play baseball, you know that your first reaction to anything coming toward you is to catch it. I give high marks to the president for being quick on his feet, but I’d hate to think he’s lost some of his baseball mojo. Ah, if only he’d caught the second shoe and, in the same motion, hurled it back. That would have been something to behold.

Indeed.
