Reporter Sleeping During State Dept Briefing?

The State Department's daily briefings can get a little tedious, especially when the Free Beacon's 2013 Man of the Year Matt Lee isn't around to shake things up.

So you can't fault one reporter for appearing to use the hour to sneak in a little afternoon nap.
