But here is the problem. One thing we can all agree on here is that the Clintons know how to work a camera. Since they knew they were being photographed or could be on camera at any moment during the ceremony, and since the Senator from NY has taken some heat for appearing less than reverent at other public ceremonies of mourning, wouldn't you THINK they would make every effort not to APPEAR to be sleeping or mocking?
And since they did not put forth that effort, one is left wondering whether they went home to high fives from all their hangers-on, who might consider their behavior "cool" and admirable.
Don't they realize, if they indeed are as calculating as in the past they have been, that sitting there with reverent, alert expressions would have earned them good marks by even their detractors?
I don't think they care about what their detractors or conservatives think. I think it was calculated for the democratic base's consumption. The timing is bizarre for both of them to be sleeping at the same exact time.
I'm more inclined to think that they had to close their eyes to all of the crosses and religious symbols in front of them.
I do not think this was contrived. I believe the slickmeister burns the candle at both ends especially while he is trying to pump up sales of his book. He looks like hangover type tiredness. Also nobody is talking to them,which when you are very tired and bored helps you perk up a bit.
