The Sleeper

posted by on January 24 at 16:20 PM

Was John McCain asleep during the president’s State of the Union address? Kinda looks like it.

And the pundits pounce:

If you’re McCain, who will be over 70 by 2008, you’ll want to make doubly sure to demonstrate your alertness and vigor. You definitely won’t want to slump in your seat, out cold, when Bush starts talking about Iraq. And yet that’s exactly what McCain did tonight, napping on camera for ten agonizing seconds. Lack of self-control? An expression of contempt? Embarrassing in any case.

This could be McCain's "botched joke."

Nah, early sign of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Obviously, we need someone younger like Obama or Gore.

Dude - give it up. Gore is NOT running. It's not going to happen! It's time to get on the Obama train!

It looks more like he's taking notes, to me.

i also thought he was taking notes, but didn't see much in the way of movement in either arm to indicate writing. was he reading something?
