Did anyone else catch Dick Cheney nodding off during President George W. Bush's farewell speech this evening? Less than 10 minutes into Bush's rather short speech, cameras on Channel 13 caught Cheney looking sleepy.
As Bush said, "But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism. Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger..."

Cheney's eyelids briefly fluttered shut. He immediately roused himself and sat up straighter and shifted in his chair.

Bush continued. "In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad..."
