[jlake]

9. I haven't seen it either - 3times tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

3. Shut UP!

:rofl::rofl:

[WillTheGoober]

[durrrty libby]

7. well, I doze off now and then in church too, but not when I'm

sitting up on the dias.

8. Men do that as they get older. Look at Cheney.

Wake me up if he starts dozing off during sex and I'll start getting concerned.

(that's During, Not After)

10. Ahahahahahahahahahah...heheheh

Somebody needs a good night sleep. See him checking his watch near the end there??

[eleny]

11. Hee-hee! ... Erm... I mean...- There, there...

[originalpckelly]

12. Oooooh! Uh oh, looks like the "First Black President" wasn't too into that speech!

:rofl:

:spank:

[originalpckelly]

13. Holy shit, this reminds me of Bush's pappy looking at his watch during the debates...

Hillary is so losing South Carolina because of this. How committed is someone to black civil rights, when they fall asleep during a civil rights speech?

14. uh oh, he should have had a Red Bull. nt

15. Heart troubles will make one sleepy.

[Canuckistanian]

16. That's a good point

Although Bill is not an active public official anymore, he's been VERY busy with HRC's campaign.

Probably not the best occupation for a former heart patient.

17. As will jet lag and lack of sleep. The M$M are idiots for making a big deal out of this, imho.

I'm sick of hearing about that and not hearing a damn thing about the war on Iraq and other pressing issues!!

[cutlassmama]

20. thinking that too, plus heart medication. I have that same issue.

[H2O Man]

18. Campaigning

is tiring, especially with all the travel involved. I do not think this is a serious issue. There are plenty of other Bill Clinton-related topics that are important, though.

I have a picture of RFK sleeping between a couple seats on a plane in '68. And he was a young man, in good physical condition. But campaigning was exhausting.

19. From the New York Post, no less. The pinnacle of journalistic excellence

Look, although I am most definitely not a Hillary Clinton fan, I really don't see the point of this "gotcha" stuff (especially when it's once removed) other than it distracts us from discussing serious issues and working to solve some pretty ominous problems.

But I know that some people just can't get enough of it.

Carry on.

21. Heck, I've done that flying a plane...

(statute of limitations is long expired) :D

[CatWoman]

22. you're one of DU's bad boys

:)

[karlrschneider]

28. And don't you fergit it!

:D

[debbierlus]

23. The New York Post

The man has a heart problem & he is traveling constantly. I am no Clinton supporter, but this is just silly, petty, & inflammatory.

[I work for workers]

26. And very, very disrespectful.

[Bucky]

24. This is absolute proof of what everyone has been saying all along.

Unfortunately, all along, they've all been saying different stuff from each other.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. i dont know what the big deal is. overworked people fall asleep during

lectures and speeches

i have done it several times

27. Is A Bit Of An Embarrassment For Him, But At The Same Time I Feel For Him.

It's pretty clear that he has over exhausted himself with all the running around he's doing, and he simply couldn't fight what his brain was forcing upon him. I've been there myself before, so I know exactly how that feels.

The reason I'm on his side with this, is because you can see throughout the video how genuinely hard he's trying to keep himself awake. He was fighting mentally to override it as much as he could, but could only do so much. I hope when viewing the video objectively, people will see what I'm talking about.
