Larry Summers Is Never Awake (On The Job)

What is Larry Summers' personal motto? A-B-C. A-always, B-be, C-catnapping. Always be catnapping! Always be catnapping! Here he is putting that guiding principle into action last Friday, while the president was briefed by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate on hurricane preparedness. Now, before we jump down his throat for sleeping on the jobat all times, let's consider a few things. One-- does Weather Watch really fall under his realm of expertise, to the extent he might have something to add? We say, not so much. Just let him know where to find his life vest and he's all good. Two-- this picture was taken pretty late Friday afternoon. It'd probably been a long week, and Summs usually likes to catch a few winks before getting down Friday night. All that being said, Geithner doesn't do the guy any favors by staying not only awake but with rapt attention.
