I can't imagine an intelligent Senator being bored with Bush's speech. Agree with him or not, any thinking person would recognize that this was a serious moment, and that our actions now will have profound consequences for many years to come, so you damn well ought to pay attention. Moreover, any astute politician should know that, even if she is bored or disinterested, she should not make it so obvious to everyone. Ideology aside, I consider Hillary's cluelessness about the image she projects to be one of her greatest failings. And after all these years, she still hasn't figured it out.

Yes, the object was a wallet.
