It is a little known fact that joint sessions of Congress have a designated area for members with narcolepsy.
I'm finally a senator! Now I can go out and make a difference! Right after this nap.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I may be yawning, but the guy to my right is snoreing
Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.
He who sleeps in continual noise is wakened by silence!
Burris was so tired after balancing his checkbook with all of the "campaign donations" to Blagojevich.
"Jeez, this is more boring than that time I stood in line for Madonna tickets for ten hours."
Burris leads joint Congressional boredom meeting.
Senator Burris thinks:
"Every second i shut my eyes it is him i see."
"Id rather be at the White House, watching a good movie with Sasha and Malia."
Senator Burris thinks:
"Sleep is the best meditation.”
Cough! Cough! That darn Blagojevich left me with a hairball again!
"Blago never put me to sleep!"

"My, my, compared with Illinois, this town is a drag. Who knows, I might not be able to last another two years."
Hey, stop picking on me! I'm board,Just look at the guy to the right of me and the guy in front as well.I'm just doing what they are doing!!!
If I'm dreaming let me never awake, If I am awake let me never sleep!!!
Is nap time over?
The jaw's a little sore from talking out of both sides of his mouth.
Man, this senator stuff is boring... hey Blagojevich...I want my money back
Sen. Burris "Maybe a dentist pull this Blago out of my mouth"
Wow, this is a really long joint session.... I should have just waited for the AC360 highlights!
" Somebody help! This red tie is chocking me! I'll wear blue from now on, I promise!"
Yawwwwwwwwn, I knew I shouldn't have stayed up for that Seinfeld marathon last night.
Gee, I paid all that money to become a senator so I can listen to long boring speeches–what was I nthinking????
I'm tired is this speech done yet?
My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?
Economic crisis, problems of energy, problems in the health system, problems in education, bailout of banks.
I go to sleep to dream because you are my dream ...
Economic crisis, problems of energy, problems in the health system, problems in education, bailout of banks.
This will be a nightmare!
This guys isn't close to the entertainer that Gov. Blagojevich is ... not that I'd know.
Agh....That page 57-paragraph 88 of the Blagojevich complaint is not really that bad! So what if it implicates me. I'm small potatoes compared to.....oh, read it yourselves.
Caught in mid-yawn, Senator Burris realizes that he must hold the position until whatever just flew into his mouth finds its way out again.
Wow! What is the stench?...Conrad put your shoes back on!
U.S. Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL) tries to signal U.S. President Barack Obama, to remind the President to address dental care during a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress February 24, 2009 at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC.
"Oh boy! I thought we were bringing change to Washington. Doesn't that extend to political speeches?"
I paid a lot of money for this???
Who pulled my tie so tight??
Gee, If I knew this Senator job was so boring I wouldn't have paid so much for the seat.
Burris : "I'd sure put a high bid on a Lazy Boy recliner seat if it was available"
They said that President Obama was like a rock star, so I camped out early to get a good seat. When will the dancing begin?
Speech boring!
Problems boring!
Policy boring!
What sleep boring!
Aware of the inevitable, Senator Roland Burris wonders if there might be a job opening at Disney for the position of Sleepy.
Nooooooooo, I don't want to go home and you can't make me!
If "worthy priorities" don't include my beach house, I'm not interested.
Yawn...this speech would be so much better if he could spice it up a little, Blagojevich style.
If you open like this, you may be able to swallow my story.
A senator once asked me to resign. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
That's only the 15th time today that someone has said "my day of reckoning has arrived."
All this disclosing is wearing me out.
Roiland Burris announces in song that " I'LL BE LEAVING ON A JET PLANE"
Forget taking responsibility for our future. I'm just worried I'm going to have to take responsibility for my past.
Barack, if you want me to perk up, start talking about my salary increase!
