Barry feels better when Joe is sleeping; we all do.
He's not sleeping, he's just envisioning what he'll be dong 10 years from now… which is falling asleep in a rocking chair.
Interesting typo, Fab.
Well that's what happens when you have a five-martini lunch beforehand!
If I were Obama, I would slip Biden some sleeping pills before letting him sit that close to a live microphone, too.
I hope they woke him up before they left. Nothing is scarier than waking up and not knowing where you are. But, I imagine that happens to Snoozy often.
(Downfister must be a big Biden fan and a moran)
Actually no. The Death Panels just kicked in
Lately, just about anything Barry says puts me to sleep.
And I am sorry to say that.
Hey now, be respectful. He might be praying.
Joe doesn't think this is a big fucking deal, apparently.
Sorry that you are so tired there, Joe. Do you know who's REALLY tired? That guy at the Exxon station who has to go out and change the price of gas every freaking hour!
Recycling jokes now, are we? Good on ya!
Thanks V, you just made me feel very small. It's going to last another minute or so and then I am going to get up, stretch and walk it off. I'm not going to be rude back to you. Don't post a reply, I won't see it.
Wait a minute….I am NOT done with you.
I want a puppy. It has to be a female miniature teacup Pomeranian. They start at 5K. Don't cheap out on me.
I'm not naming my puppy after you. Don't even try it.
I want weekends off and I want a stunt double.
I also want cake. Make it a quality cake.
Let me know when my demands have been met and not before.
No way do you get a purse dog.
I don't want a Mastiff.

So Ol' Joe won't be giving the Democratic response to Barry's speech.
Oh well. Somebody please wake me up when someone does.

Now I'm curious why this merited deletion.
Donald Trump bought Intensedebate? I do like some of the stuff in Intensedebate, but I wish it wouldn't close up comments after 50 posts, and that it wouldn't page break and just let a thread run.
And it would be nice if you could edit after a comment has been added, that it didn't randomly close off posting, and that you could keep someone from following you if they are a collie molesting coward who can't think up a single funny joke.
Oh, and I want naked pictures of all the female Wonketeers. What's up with not having that Intensedebate.
Actually, they have nekkid pictures of all of us. I just alt-clicked your profile. Looking good, Mr. Hutz!
Speaking of which. No Cheney news/ sightings lately. On the verge of the Big Sleep perhaps. (It will be a crime if he gets the heart transplant to cheat death yet again.)
One more hour of life is worth the blood of at least 20 unicorns.
And 20 unicorns = 40 bags-full of drowned kittens.
He's toast — the doctors found no place for a heart.
xanax on foot + foot in mouth = sleepy Joe
Actually he wasn't asleep — he was hypnotized. Now he clucks like a chicken every time he hears the word "Medicare." And you don't even want to know what happens when someone snaps their fingers in 6/8 time…
He's saving his energy for ducking when the Retardlicans start flinging poo.
"…you're on your own." Wha? Hungh? Whaaaaa? Oh. zzzzzzzz.
He's very, very suburban.
Exurban, even.
Gets drunk with bourbon, too.
Joe has figured out that this (and pretty much everything else out of Barry's mouth) isn't a big fucking deal. He didn't need to hear the speech, he was already clued in on the cave-in strategy.
Give him a break. He was up late detailing his sweet Trans Am.
It's like with your spouse…you've heard all those stories over and over for years so this time it puts you to sleep.
This actually shows Joe Biden THINKING. Admittedly the difference between Joe Biden sleeping and Joe Biden thinking is pretty much metaphysical.
Barry's sonorous voice is like the clickety-clack of Biden's beloved Amtrak trains.
(Come on Downfisty, you know you love trains)
And articulate!
Tear down that…
I love to attend political speeches. You just can't sleep like that at home.
You ought to try local government department meetings. I've nodded off in a few after a big lunch, especially if it's about the 3rd meeting of the day.
A Committe of the Whole meeting is a cure for the worse insomnia. In my city, they don't even hold those in the formal council chambers; they hold them in some non-descript back-office area behind the chambers.
Amen to that! I had to attend one this week that featured a lengthy presentation from the sewer commissioner from a small suburb. They want to be hooked into the metro treatment system. Absolutely snore-inducing!
Who here could survive for so may years in the Senate without developing that particular defense mechanism when someone is giving a long-winded speech?
Heck, think of Biden's eyelids as the nation's bullshit detector.
i think the real scandal here is whatever is going on with the older elf lady sleeping on his chair.
to be fair, the black girl behind him almost falls asleep too
Sure, he is asleep now, but you should have seen him last night at the club snorting coke and dancing semi-naked to Lady Ga Ga.
Obama is just lucky he isn't taking Ambien, or Joe would be humping his leg.
Strange he fell asleep though, as the speaker is so clean and articulate.
'Zestfully Clean'
next thing you know Joey here is sleeping thru those boring safety briefs about impending Al Qaida attacks. Bush did.
What's with these VEEP's? Cheney fell asleep at Georgy's farwell sucka's speech.
I think Biden is done in 2012. He knows it already.
Obama will be looking for someone else to “spice up” what will be a very difficult 2012 race for Obambi.
Difficult? Who's going to run against him? The cloned offspring by-product of Trump's toupee and Paul Ryan's ball sweat? GOP has already ceded the WH.
FWIW, I tried to open this link out of curiosity, and recurrently got hung up on one of the couple dozen attached advert linkies.
So I'll just have to imagine Joe-boo nodding off.
That's not sleeping during a boring speech…..THIS is sleeping during a boring speech:

At least that way his gaffes are diminished…
Hey, let Joe zen! His face betrays spiritual questing.
Originally conceived as an alternate shipping route for barges destined for the Midwest, the route proved too awkward for large tows. However, boating enthusiasts discovered it as a great way to see Middle-America.
Many window blinds are made with slats of fabric, wood, plastic or metal that adjust by rotating from an open position to a closed position by allowing slats to overlap. A roller blind does not have slats but comprises a single piece of material.
Oh, look! I am so cute. My mommy will name me "Sugar" and she will dress me up in cute outfits.
Cocker?
