I think Prescott did the right thing. The "protester" threw the egg from point-blank range into the side of Prescott's face, where it shattered. Now, I know that trhowing an egg is not as damaging as throwing a brick, but where does this guy figure he gets the right to physically assault someone in the street and have it shrugged off as "protest"? I'll bet it hurt, and I'll bet it was startling. I, too, wish he had been able to follow it up with a right cross.

As for Clinton, he took it well, and it's to his credit. Then again, the egg thrown at Clinton barely touched the arm of his suit coat, after which he was surrounded by bodyguards who quickly jumped in between him and his assailant, while the latter was arrested. Prescott had to handle it on his own. Did a good job of it, in my opinion.
