The White House press briefing: Snorefest!

(Video here)
A female reporter dozed off at today’s White House press briefing. Don’t feel bad, lady. Larry Summers couldn’t keep his eyes open at President Obama’s suck-up economic summit.
Next time, I’d recommend 5-hour Energy. Sugar free. Only 4 calories. And it may just save your job.

You don’t need to be too alert to cover somebody reading a teleprompter.
A) Red Bull.
B) That’s a female?
PS – I had ~9 12 oz Red Bulls the weekend at the Borgata.
I thought I was going to have a heart attack on Sat night.
Jeepers.
Or she could use Odopeys drug of choice, the coca.
Hey, isn’t that the same thing Chavez uses? He chews it every morning.
She’s weary and overwhelmed from covering Dear Leader and Turbo Tim’s harrowing struggle to repair the Bush economic disaster. She’ll be fine.
Is she sleeping, or did she faint?
No matter, she can always get my notes off of the teleprompter later…
Probably had a big “O” after listening to the Big O. Now its time to cuddle and nap. It’s all good…
As far as I can tell, she gave the proceeding the attention and respect it deserved. Being stuck in a room with Mr. Gibbs in it must be tedious indeed.
Why can’t Obama give his speeches at night before I want to go to bed ?…just not fair! /sarc
Well, what do you expect? With Mr. Perfect as president, there’s no story to scoop. When Bush was president, you had to stay awake so you could fester and get angry every time Bush picked a wedgie, or mispronounced a word, or had some beheader killed. But with “The One”, it’s smooth sailing, baby!
Nothing to see here…
Lib journalists are ugly, skank feminazis!
Don’t pick on her. If you look at the MSM she’s obviously not the only reporter asleep at the helm.
Finally, we have found a place to house the GiTMO terrorists.
Hells Bells, leave her alone–there’s nothing worth listening to out of these criminals anyway.
It is Laura Meckler from the WSJ. Look at the third picture in this link. Isn’t that one on your side?
Also, apparently she is pregnant. I will leave it to other commenter with more direct experience to opine whether this explains the case of the sleepys.
OT
Found in sidebar
Michael Steele is pro-abortion.
He needs to wait a week or two, so Limbaugh won’t be blamed, and quit, for the good of the party.
If not, he must be booted. We don’t need the male version of Christine Todd Whitman or Olympia Snowe running the party.
I admit, I was excited when he was chosen, he sounded good guest hosting for Bennett, but he is a typical Northeast (aka Arlen Specter) RINO, and needs to go.
If that’s Laura Meckler from WSJ, she might want to avoid the 5 Hour Energy. She’s pregnant.
OT
Conyers plans hearings on voting rights
I’m glad to know that Congressional districts may be drawn to represent the broad strata of residents, and not guarantee that working folks who pay taxes will be required to elect Democrats who represent non-workers on the public teat.
Oops! Chap got there first. I’d quote him but I’m afraid I’ll break the internet again.
Sleeepiness is most acute in the first trimester. Since we do not know details about her condition, nor do we want to know, we can only speculate if it was the topic, the presenter or hormones that put her to sleep.
Ahh, let’s give her a break, no, not the prego break. She was listening to “Beltway Bob”, the U.S. version of “Baghdad Bob”, only worse; he’s the mouthpiece for OUR government.
What a pile.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz….
Agreed, ED, it looks like we will have to pick our candidates one-by-one without any help/leadership from GOP. I am certainly not handing them money until they get with the program.
Once again its the grass-roots not only having to re-build a base of voters, but also having to lead it too…so be it.
I do find it very annoying that the party leadership has had so many opportunities to ream the democrats into political oblivion (at least compared to an earlier era), and yet still fail to take adavantage of this ..the latest being “Puppet” Steele.
Dang, I’m in the wrong career. I would love to take a snooze during the day. Sure would be nice.
Don’t want to get to OT here, but he also spewed a rather uninformed position on gays in the same interview.
Steele has a grand total of two years experience in politics as a lt. governor, and he is not running for anything. Why is he articulating GOP platform positions? He’s spending to little time organizing and leading and way too much time talking. Just saying.
Just like obambo sleeping in church?
competence is boring.
Well no biggie…with the majority of the MSM, the press briefings are only for the purpose of clarifying the Obama talking points they issued earleir that day to their certified propoganda outlets. (AKA CNN, MSNBC, ABC, AP, NBC, NYT, etc..)
Huh?Who’s competence? Her’s? I know you’re not talking about Spanky & His Gang. With this current Administration I half expect a nuclear exchange w/ Russia or China by the end of the week.
If she’s preggo, I’d cut her some slack. I remember when Mrs Twofoot was preggo with the boys… Wow. And that’s all I have to say about those memories.
On the other hand, if she is pregnant… Well, as was pointed out by the womens libbers on the left during the campaign, how dare she think she can continue to do such an important job while pregnant or with a newborn.
/sarc
So is Larry Summers pregnant also?
All anyone at the press conference needed to do was ask for a transcript of the teleprompter.
CAreful Michelle O and Hillary’s new Whote House Council on Women will be all over anyone’s ass who says women arent’t comepetent to do mens work — even if they’r easleep at the wheel!
Yep, there’s been some big excitement since President Obama took over. Nothing boring about a downhill ride at breakneck speed.
I’ll go with the pregnancy thing. I have seen very little come from the whitehouse that i would call “competence”
That 5 Hour Energy stuff actually works. I took some one morning and was hopped up for hours, and I didn’t crash later. It’s cliché but it’s true.
Do they really need a PC? Just email the transcript to the press corps, then they can cut-n-paste it into MS Word and send it to their editor.
Not like they really ask any important questions, hold anyone’s feet to the fire or anything that takes a few brain cells like that…
Yeah…without any brakes!!
Someone has to pick up Helen Thomas’ mantle!
