Impeachable Offense? -NJ Governor Chris Christie fell asleep during The Boss' big concert

Back in the day, Bruce Springsteen said his concerts were meant to be "part circus, part political rally, part spiritual meeting, part dance party." New Jersey Governor Chris Christie might add "part nap time," since he reportedly had himself a quick snooze during the Boss' show at Madison Square Garden on April 9.

According to a witness quoted in the New York Post, the rotund Republican lawmaker "was very active" for the first part of the show but couldn't go the distance.

"Bruce started talking about 'supporting food banks in New York and New Jersey,' and 'how people have been hit hard,' and Christie was riveted," the tattler reveals. "Then Bruce performed 'Rocky Ground,' and Christie visibly started fading."

It's amazing the places and times you can nod off when your breathing cuts out over 90 times per hour while you're in bed and your blood oxygen drops to nothing.

Don't ask me how I survived that for as long as I did, and I'll bet anything that Christie needs a CPAP if he doesn't have one.

I wonder how he could keep up the schedule that Obama does each day.

Obama seems to have energy all the time.
And his wife is simply amazing -- what role models they both are -- and then there is Chris ~

By the way I have a Sleep Machine and highly recommend it for those that have problems.
