01/18/2008 - Bill Clinton - © Erik Kabik / PR PhotosKing’s son, Martin Luther King III addressed an assembled crowd at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem, and Bill Clinton, seated behind him, was caught napping as King’s son, also during the remarks of lawyer William Wachtel.Clinton was there during a service to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., while his wife was nearby at Abyssinian Baptist Church, where she was endorsed by its minister, Rev. Calvin Butts.Clinton has had napping episodes before. Among others, he nodded off at a Mets game and at Ronald Reagan's funeral.When he was president, he told Dan Rather, "If I can take a nap, even 15 or 20 minutes in the middle of the day, it is really invigorating to me. On the days when I'm a little short of sleep, I try to work it out so that I can sneak off and just lie down for 15 minutes, a half an hour, and it really makes all the difference in the world."
