Cheney falls asleep during Cabinet meeting on wildfires.

During a cabinet meeting yesterday, Vice President Cheney fell asleep on camera while President Bush was discussing wildfires in California. A Cheney spokeswoman “laughed it off,” telling CNN that the vice president was “practicing meditation.” CNN’s chyron reported that Cheney was seen “meditating” — rather than sleeping — during the cabinet meeting. Watch it:

5. I hear he's going hunting this weekend. He was probably dreaming of shooting someone in the face.

To sleep -- perchance to dream.

7. i want to know how many there were praying hard he was actually dead

[Catshrink]

10. Sheesh. If he started snoring CNN could say he was purring.

12. Good one. If he fell out of his chair, they'd say it was a heart attack.

11. Fires are boring to Cheney

He seems to enjoy full scale death and destruction. California's destruction is not offset with the level of carnage that would keep him alert.
