So here he is in all his splendor. Former president Bill Clinton snoozing away during a speech to honor Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.
While Hillary Clinton’s rival for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama, gave a soaring speech at King’s Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Mr. Clinton too proved that he “had a dream”, albeit of a literal kind, at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem.
The former president, 61, was attending the service to honour King on Sunday when he was caught apparently napping by the New York Post.
His wife, meanwhile, was nearby at Abyssinian Baptist Church, where she was endorsed by its minister, Rev Calvin Butts.
Mr. Clinton has been caught nodding before, most famously with his wife at the funeral of former president, Ronald Reagan.
And from Associated Content:
Bill Clinton can sleep through just about anything these days, even a memorial service for a national hero. The Fox Network’s affiliate station in Greenville, South Carolina reported that Clinton dozed off in full view of cameras at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem on Monday, January 21.
Clinton was attending memorial services for slain Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. when he got a little too comfortable in his chair. To add insult to injury, King’s son, Martin Luther King III was speaking during the former President’s catnap. In addition to getting millions of views on YouTube, the makers of “No-Doz” probably will want Clinton to become their national spokesman.
Arg! So he took his catnap while Martin Luther King III was speaking.
What a chump. What a jerk.
Anyway, now that that debacle is behind him, it’s time for Bill to head down to South Carolina and pander to the black vote down there in preparation for the primary. Can’t be having those black voters actually vote for a black man, now can we?
I mean, how wrong would that be?
