What? I'm not yawning, I'm..putting my jaw back into place.
I am so tired of tying to come up with new stories!
Once again enthusiasm reigns at another Presidential speech.
I wish Rod would speak..
What am I doing here? I thought I was going to wake up and find Blagojevich was just a bad dream.
U.S. Sen. Roland Burris doing his best Rodney Dangerfield impersonation"I get no respect I tell ya, no respect".
Hey lady this is a tiring solemn sleepy occasion not a crying event.
So glad this isn't a courtroom. There would be no one left...
With help from President Obama's speech, congressmen prove that yawning is, in fact, contagious.
OK LADY...STOP SNIFFLING,I'M TRYING TO CATCH A NAP!!!!!
President Obama should work on making his speeches more entertaining before he tries to fix the economy
"I can't stop yawning...must be all those late nights trying to raise funds for Blago - damn, did I just say that?"

I'm tired of waiting...come on and read me my rights!
"This seat sucks. How do I buy front row seats?"
Oh God! Where is that remote control when you need it? I'd like to fast forward this session a bit
The best bridge between Despair and hope is a good night's sleep!
Mr. President, if I sleep, you will not be upset, right?
"Blago...can I have my money back?"
" What is the money back return policy?"
"This guy next to me is making me sleepy"
Is Sen. Roland Burris just too tired to hear the calls for his resignation.
For some reason, I thought this would be more exciting now that Barack is President...
(yawnnnnnnnn..............)
oh well.. I have to stay awake.. or Anderson Cooper will put my picture on his blog..
People who say life is a bed of roses usually complain about sleeping in thorns.
I wonder if i can keep my mouth open longer than the President.
Is this what I was going to pay for? I think I need a refund.
Sleep: a poor substitute for caffeine.
Will I be out for coffee or a coke or two.
Someone will feel my absence?
ACK! ACK! ACK! Something is caught in my throat!
Oh, it's my credibility.
I tell ya I don't get no respect.
Senator Burris thinks:
"I'm not asleep... but that doesn't mean I'm awake."
Wake me when the seat auction begins...

Sen. Roland Burris realizes too late he shouldn't have accepted
that cough drop from Sen. Dick Durbin.
Yet another emBurrissing moment for the Senate.
The best bridge between despair and hope is a good night's sleep...
Economic crisis, problems of energy, problems in the health system, problems in education, bailout of banks.
"Wow! I am still a Senator. Even I find that hard to swallow."
And to think of the grief I have endured just to have the privilege to be here in person to hear this speech.... what was I thinking
How emBurrissing...
Hope and Change? More like yawns and snores.
Roland Burris took a look around him and realized nobody
else was paying attention so why should he?
(take a look at the circle of people surrounding him)
Boy this stress test is wearing me out !!!
I am just too old to be out this late. They should know my bedtime is at 7:30 p.m.
