McCain falling asleep on the job
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, napping on camera for ten agonizing seconds. Lack of self-control? An expression of contempt? Embarrassing in any case and it has happened twice.
