Maybe All the Campaigners Should Learn B. Clinton’s Art of Napping

Just not on camera.

Bill Clinton caught catching some much needed Z’s during MLK Day observance. Can’t say I blame him; nothing like hearing King’s legacy drained of all complexity at great length by a wannabee to get one to nodding. It does bring home, though, how grueling our ridiculously expanded nomination/electoral process is. Maybe that’s why he’s been such a sphincter on the campaign trail. However dangerously vicious, homey is a senior citizen. I know I couldn’t handle the stress, not without killing someone.

BTW, must be said: the NYP’s headline rocks – Bill Clinton has a ‘Dream.’ Kudos.

Update: Video of Bill’s nap after the jump.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
