There are few things more important to our country, our society, our very way of life than the United States Supreme Court. Therefore, the selection of a new justice is one of the most interesting news stories possible. Every few years, we, as Americans, get to sit back and literally watch history being made in front of our very eyes. We get to see our country’s future being written. We get to- Oh my God! Is Al Franken falling asleep? He totally is!
During Elena Kagan’s opening remarks today, Sen. Franken had a bit of a hard time keeping his eyes open. In his defense, I’m sure many people who watch the confirmation hearings felt the same way. Seriously, do these people know how to blather, or what? Still though, you’d think Franken, as a graduate of live television, would know better than to nod off with so many cameras around.
The clip of Franken’s snooze is below. Kagan’s full remarks are here. Watch them and see if you do any better.

“Sen. Al Franken Falls Asleep During Elena Kagan Hearing”
(Added June 29, 2010)
I’d do a lot of things for a laugh.
[but that’s *not* one of them]
That picture is one bit of the past that I’d gladly put down the Memory Hole.
Which is why it’s our sacred duty to post it often, wherever and whenever we can.

Let the idiot sleep!
People in his district need to bring this up a election time
Who’s complaining. I’d rather he sleep through his 6 year term than actually doing anything.
Minnesota and SNL are very very proud.
The people of Minnesota should be ashamed of themselves for electing this bozo, eh?
Minnesota is getting the representation they deserve.
I’m OK with him falling asleep. The bad part is that he woke up...
The idea is to punish the state back. Don't buy anything from Minnesota and don't vacation there. If they are going to stick it to us, we will stick it to them. For the conservatives in Minnesota.....get your fellow citizens in line or get out.
Thanks, all you idiots in minnesota who brought this guy to town for 6 years.
Agreed. The more this fool sleeps, the safer we are.
