Oh, tired, are we?

He's probebly blinking, or praying, or doing one of the BILLIONS of other things that involve closing your eyes, but don't involve sleeping.

You think ONE picture is gonna show me that he slept through Reagan's Eulogy?

if you notice, the lady behind him also has her eyes closed

To notice that, you'd have to take your eyes off Clinton and stop making fun of him for a second to confirm reality around you.

And we can't do that now, can we?

He didn't sleep through it. He was caught in a blink.

Or he was praying. Nice snow job, though, FoB. Full points for manipulation of the facts to suit your purposes. The Shrub would be proud.

If you'd actually watched it, you would have seen that both Bill and Hillary did indeed have their eyes closed for more than a blink's time - they had their eyes closed throughout the whole shot. On FOX News, which is what I watched the service on, they showed them on two or three occasions and commented afterwards that they were probably just concentrating on deep prayer or maybe even in meditation. One of the reporters happened to attend services in that cathedral regularly, and noted that the seats were so uncomfortable that it would be nearly impossible to fall asleep in them.

I have to make one quick note here after trying to post this three times, only to have to wait a minute each time for an error message, only to find out that my post actually did go through three times, so I had to delete the other two - whatever server these forums are on really sucks!

Take it from me as a person who mastered the art of sleeping in class without getting caught, it is impossible to actually doze off and hold your head upright. The second you slip into atual sleep, you do that head bobbing motion like you're the cork on a bait a bass has just taken. You have to have something to rest your head on or else you get busted.

And trust me, if there were actual footage of Bill and Hillary sleeping, the video would already be up instead of this lame-ass still shot. You think the right-wing would skip a chance like that? Not a chance in hell.

they were bobbing their heads quite a lot earlier on when the choir was singing lol with eyes closed

So. What? :?

I have lost count of the number of times I have seen politicians asleep during official functions and debates.

And to be honest, I would have been bored as f*ck as well, having to sit through that. At least I had the option of switching off my TV, which I did in an instant. Poor guys had to be there.

*EG* - Thanks for that - you reminded me of an 8 AM Expository Writing course I had to take in freshman year. Several times I would actually go into such a deep sleep that I snored! It broke up the class - fortunately the instructor was kind about it.

Regarding this thread? GMOLFB! But it does look like he's suppressing a laugh. *VEG*

Depends on what the meaning of married is. Or is it is is?

id fall asleep too---the mans been dead for years anyway-

Man, considering all the fluff that was said about Reagan that's actually MORE true (statistically) of Clinton's achievements (such as being MORE popular, shrinking government MORE than Reagan did, and being far, far more fiscally conservative than Reagan), at least he was only physically closing his eyes instead of closing his mind's eye to the truth! :wink:

Or he was praying. Nice snow job, though, FoB. Full points for manipulation of the facts to suit your purposes. The Shrub would be proud.

I would have to agree. I see many people close their eyes in prayer. And why is it that polilticial nutjobs always seem to exploit events like these?

When I am in church and pray, I close my eyes as well. Some people were raised that way, to be complete in your prayers by closing your eyes.

But enough about that......isn't it odd that Republicans, who have been slamming Democrats all week for not feeling enough sympathy for Reagan's passing, take the opportunity of pointing out even the most trivial of things done by Democrats instead of mourning like they complain that Democrats aren't doing enough of? Did you happen to notice the Clintons before or after you finished mourning Reagan???

if you notice, the lady behind him also has her eyes closed

Yeah, but I think she's dead.

Nice try all of you, Bill Clinton was asleep. I wathced the whole thing, he was doing the head bob, mouth open. Spherical objects, the only fool around here is you, you sad little woman.

I doubt he was sleeping, they would have been woken up.

Well, I am sure he has an ecuse, he was probably up late with an intern.

That was witty.

No, it wasn't. It was a lame attempt at humor.

Strange how EVERYONE there was asleep, huh?

'You sad little woman'. That says more about you than it does about me.
I too watched that clip, I too agree that the two were 'dozing' slightly. I also noticed that Prince Charles was doing the same, as were several others. It was a long service, highlighted with only a few moments of wit and compassion. I saw all that, but why you should find it a cause for amusement, I fail to see. I can only conclude by your original post and your comment about me that you are indeed, a bitter fool.

Lame humour is directly proportional to the lameness of the original topic?

well, hillary is closing her eyes too.
as are the people behind them.
haha

probably praying, reflecting, something. closing eyes is a part of many services... mmhmm

this thread is making me laugh

It's beginning to make me yawn and close my eyes.

Don't fall asleep; people will call you on it, and if you say "it was just a light nap," it's immidiatly a "leftist scheam!"

I love how people hurl "left" and "right" as if they were insults :p

Even though he isn't, I sure as hell would be. Lol. Eulogies are booooring.

And besides, you silly Christians get so scared about death, I bet ol' Will is praying or doing something else equally n00bish.

id fall asleep too---the mans been dead for years anyway-

lmao. :twisted:

OMG!!!!!!!11 William is whacking off! Look at that smile! Look at the position of his hands!

Seriously, is there a point to this thread other than the fact that another American politician got caught blinking?

Bill looks like he's about to laugh, Hilliary looks asleep. Awwwww....so cute! HOLY SHIT! Look at that lady behind Hilliary, dear Lord! She looks like an ancient ape.

But seriouslly, people blink, and close their eyes at funerals. They could be praying.

He's probably masturbating! That traitor.

id fall asleep too---the mans been dead for years anyway-

In a way you're right. Alzheimer's does that to people, it's really sad. I'd rather be dead

Look, he was sleeping, he is disrespectful, and you people don't have to defend him anymore. Whatever legacy he had is tarnished well past the point of polishing, and your sad little excuses only prove what sad little people you are.

And that would make you a happy giant person? :shock:

Two people falling asleep at once with another person behind them asleep too? That woman must be a total pinko! Seriously, though, this can be taken out of context as much as you like. Even Fox News said it was probably prayer or meditation.

And Clinton-bashing is so four years ago.

My question is: why do you get insulted when people don't jump on the "OMGWTF!1!1!one11!! I H8 CLINT0N HE'S SUCH A DMBA$$!" bandwagon?

I missed most of the California ceremony, but I heard that a soldier that recently returned from Iraq was there. He was missing both his hands and his leg was really messed up. I heard that he then saluted his President with what arms he had left.

R.I.P Ronald Reagan

1) Now I remember why I almost never post in general. :roll:

2) Speaking from memory, the first funeral I ever went to was for my Grand-father, only a few years ago, now, he died, we went to the funeral, and the size of the church and custom the the close family sitting in the front row meant I had my knees 3 feet from the coffin of the person I respected the most all my life.

( Its almost funny, I still get choked up over it. )

Now, being able to close my eyes and remember the good times, that and an iron will I lost when I finally got home and threw up from the stress of the day, was the only thing that got me through that service with-out going into hysterics.

Okay, I doubt Bill and Hill are going to be that wrought up over R.R.'s death, but I think you can under-stand what I am saying.

Might I further add, I find it pathetic so many people seem intent to objectify this funeral into something to ridicule or defend a pair of politicians. You all seem rather hell bent on remembering it as been anything but an occasion to mourn and have respect for persons passed on now.

To you people, I say go to bed tonight, and try to think what the most remembered point of your life and finally funeral will be. I can only hope that may put some perspective into you, something which many people here seem to be lacking.

Any disrespect on this thread was what you wanted by posting the picture.
Anyone with half a brain can see that. And tell me, who are you to call anyone who dissagrees with you 'sad little people'? Especially when the whole thread was flame-bait. You should be more careful.
