VEEP ASLEEP: Vice President Dick Cheney gets caught napping yesterday as Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other White House aides leave a press briefing by President Bush and Chinese leader Hu Jintao. The veep's people later insisted he was reading his notes, but if you ask us, it sure looks as if he's dreaming of quail hunting - and maybe bagging some birds this time.

8. So does mine!

What's that all about? Do men think it's not okay ever to sleep?

16. My boyfriend always says he's lying across the bed!

And I know he was asleep. I guess he feels like it's wrong to actually fall asleep? I don't get it.

5. Are you sure he isn't dead?

7. Of course he is. He has been dead for years. They keep putting fresh

formaldehyde in his veins to keep him walking and talking.

12. Stop getting my hopes up!!!

Oh well, we can dream can't we?:smoke:

[BrklynLiberal]

9. Evil Bastard Slumbers.

BTW is that his cane next to him?

[MADem]

14. Sure looks like it! Gee, back in the day, it was the CHINESE who had

doddering old leaders...the worm has certainly turned!

11. I would guess he nods off

a number of times during an hour. Poor circulation, bad ticker will do that. My ex, w/ congestive heart failure, would nod off frequently during a conversation. Brain not getting the oxygen it needs 2 work so it checks out.

unca dick needs @ B in an extended care faility not the WH!

[electropop]

13. A nice extended stay in Gitmo might do the trick.

They could keep him awake for days on end.

as close up shows he's pretty flushed.

[sabra]

18. LOL

19. Are they capable of telling the truth about ANYTHING? n/t

20. He is just checkin his eye lids for holes...

nothing to see here, don't mind the drool at the corner of his mouth, move along...nothing to see here.
