#12 Seeing as he is from the UK and she is from North America there is a good chance their sleep patterns were not aligned and he might have been very sleepy while she was well rested. Somehow I think this is much ado about nothing.

#13 Also, she is the host and it's the gracious thing to do to insist the guest get the comfortable bed.

#14 Good God! I'm surprised the press did not leave out her sleeping on the floor and just report him sleeping in her bed, eluding they were together. Condi did the right thing here. Good on her!

#17 It's all part of Condi's new morning routine:

1) Sleep on floor
2) Jog 20 miles
3) Eat a bowl of rusty nails
4) Arm wrestle a grizzly bear
5) Consider what to do about Iran
