Apparently, Joe Biden - already burdened with more responsibilities than any other vice president...evah - decided he would multi-task during today's budget/debt speech by President Barack Obama.

ABC News'The Note adds, "Biden, at one point, could be seen apparently nodding off -- or at least deep in thought. The bug was catching, too. The woman in glasses directly behind Biden appears to close her eyes too."
