GOP Congressman Takes Nap As Gohmert Blathers

One Congressman is finding the whole government shutdown a total snoozefest.
Rep. George Holding was caught napping Thursday while he presided over a House session, as his Republican colleague Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) launched a passionate protest against Obamacare.
The Texan’s soft-spoken drawl must have been a soothing sound to the North Carolina Republican, who rested his head in his hand to catch up on some shuteye during Gohmert’s nearly 45 minute speech.
