Jimmy McMillan, who made a name for himself during the New York Governor’s race last year, has been making the rounds at CPAC today for some reason, and he wandered into the Blogger’s Lounge about ten minutes ago.

“you may not be able to tell but for some reason McMillan has been walking around today with a shoe on his left hand”

Maybe it was a homage:
FOLLOWERS: …Look! Ah! Oh! Oh!

ARTHUR: He has given us a sign!

FOLLOWER: Oh!

SHOE FOLLOWER: He has given us… His shoe!

ARTHUR: The shoe is the sign. Let us follow His example.

SPIKE: What?

ARTHUR: Let us, like Him, hold up one shoe and let the other be upon our foot, for this is His sign, that all who follow Him shall do likewise.
