Bill Clinton Falls Asleep During MLK Presentation

BILL HAS A 'DREAM'
EX PREZ NODS OFF DURING MLK AWARD PRESENTATION
Post Staff Report



January 21, 2008 -- Bill Clinton showed yesterday why he made it into the book "The Art of Napping."

During an appearance at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem, the former president was caught nodding off.

Clinton was there during a service to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., while his wife was nearby at Abyssinian Baptist Church,
where she was endorsed by its minister, Rev. Calvin Butts.

Clinton has had napping episodes before. Among others, he nodded off at a Mets game and at Ronald Reagan's funeral.

When he was president, he told Dan Rather, "If I can take a nap, even 15 or 20 minutes in the middle of the day,
it is really invigorating to me. On the days when I'm a little short of sleep, I try to work it out so that I can sneak
off and just lie down for 15 minutes, a half an hour, and it really makes all the difference in the world."

I defy anyone to stay awake during a MLK Day preachathon.
