Larry Summers Falls Asleep During Economic Summit

President Obama's fiscal sustainability summit at the White House Monday apparently wasn't all that stimulating.

The Financial Times is reporting that Larry Summers, head of Obama's National Economic Council, actually fell asleep at the podium. This is the same event where John McCain ranted about the cost of upgrading the presidential helicopter.

From FT:

"Although Lawrence Summers, head of the National Economic Council, fell asleep on the podium, most attendees, including Republicans, appear to have appreciated the exercise. There was even some light-heartedness."

Looks like Georgia Gov. Sunny Perdue also would have liked an espresso shot - or three. Let's hope this was just because the nation's best economic minds have been working hard, pulling all-nighters trying to figure out how the heck to get the economy out of the toilet, instead of being hungover after a tough night out wondering "why did I take this job again?!"
