Did "Good Morning America" remove a man who appeared to be dozing off during Democratic Senator John Edwards town hall meeting on Monday? Early in the 7am hour, the man (pictured at right) appeared to be sleeping, or at least dozing, while Edwards discussed his plan for Iraq.
Around 7:11, the individual, who was seated to the back and right of Edwards, mysteriously disappeared (see video below). Diane Sawyer even remarked how audience members for the New Orleans-based event had "gotten up early" to join him. Perhaps the network found it unacceptable that someone might perceive the former trial lawyer to be less then enthralling.

Could be their bias, they didn’t want us to think that the breck girl is boring, or just the need to remove a distraction from the camera’s angle of view. I prefer the latter, because it’s the simpler explanation.

I had an idiot manager for about 5 minutes at my old job that would conk out in meetings.
I'm not talking about nodding off once in awhile. I'm talking full-bore, chair tipped back against the wall, mouth open, drooling and snoring-type sleeping. And it was consistent too....not a one time thing.
Geez, that guy was an embarrassment. He finally got tossed off the account after we all quit. Knowing the company I was working with, he was likely promoted to a spot where he could sleep in peace.

Good golly, that’s real, isn’t it?!
I thought I’d seen every sKerry photo from that campaign...some of the best laughs I’ve had in a long long time. But I don’t remember that one. Sheesh...talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve.

You’re all wrong !!!
After listening to Edwards speak, the man simply closed his eyes and clicked his heels three time and said: “there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.” And poof, he was gone.
I think you can find him somewhere in Kansas.
