Being drunk at work is always incorrect. If you or I did it we would be subect to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

The only way he should be able to save this is to tell someone to "Go fuck yourself".

Drunk in honor of Ted Kennedy, the one this bill is dedicated to.

My hero! -Sarvis

the normal delivery of liquor to the senate democrats hasn't been adjusted since Kennedy's death. Someone needs to contact the distributor and tell them to stop sending so much.

okay, now seriously, whats worse than being drunk, he is full of shit claiming what the dems bill will actually do.

more competition among insurers???

WTF is he talking about?

One thing he is right about is that the Dems did try to work with the Rethugs, and the Rethugs in committee worked with the Dems to hammer out a bill but then later obeyed their leadership and decided to oppose the same bill they helped create.
Rethug opposition is 99% political 1% real legitimate objections.

Funny he had to get plastered before the truth hit him.

Maybe by steeping himself in alcohol, Baucus is hiding from facing the horror that is this complete sham of a democrat extortion plot called "healtchare reform".

Maybe he actually has a conscience.

Dems support is 99% political 1% real legitimate support

"Maybe he actually has a conscience."

I'm pretty sure they take that away when they put a (D) next to your name.

"Rethug opposition is 99% political 1% real legitimate objections."

WHAT!? Danni is abandoning her ideiology of...
Democrats....GOOD!
Republicans....BAD!

Bless her little objective heart, she admits republicans are 1% "good." Who woulda ever guessed...

I gladly let all of them stay drunk on out tax tab if only they will complete one frigging session without passing a thousand new laws and repealing none.

Why all the focus on the repubs opposition? the bill got passed with what the dems wanted (collectively).

why not discuss that?

oh, wait.....I know why they would rather discuss the reasons for the repubs opposition than the actual bill......because the bill is a piece of shit and Baucus along with the other dems know it and are trying to deflect.

Is there any actual proof that he was drunk and is not just a blathering idiot?

"Is there any actual proof that he was drunk ...."

I was wondering the same thing, but I have to admit he sure sounded like he was.

Cough syrup excuse coming in 5, 4, 3, 2.....

I'm pretty sure they take that away when they put a (D) next to your name.

Sheesh. What a party pooper.

Ok, in the spirit of Christmas and all, I'll play along. There is one thing that bothers me about being a partisan hack. How do you reconcile the people that change parties?

They were evil but now they are okay (or vice versa)? Is that how you play this game? Or is it much simpler than that? Do I decide if they are evil or not based on one issue?

Sadly, this fucker Baucus (with a D) is all too familiar these days. He looks and acts exactly like 3/4ths of our government, both (D) and (R). But, yes of course, let us agrue about which kind of mugger is worse, while the mugger is holding us at gunpoint.

Sen. Bacchus is just living up to his namesake.

Good thinking. Drunk is temporary. Stupid lasts forever.

she admits republicans are 1% "good."

Any chance they mentioned the $4 million Baucus has received from the Health Industry?

I was wrong about one thing.

I didn't think the spending could get worse under Obama--he was so transformative!

But as we see--it's 300 million to Landreiu, 100 million to Dodd, a trillion to Ben Nelson--since it's forever, another billion to the FL folks along with CA and WA and MI (?)

But hey who's counting--not Obama and certainly not the Dems.

He's drumk.......lol

KBM: Dan Riehl is wrong. The video started at Think Progress, but that site didn't accuse him of being drunk.

Is there any actual proof that he was drunk ...

Nope. It's a baseless smear.

Well, it's not entirely baseless, since he does appear to be drunk. Are we not allowed to question whether he was unless they breathalyze him on the Senate floor?

Bacchus?

Drunk?

Well, it's not entirely baseless, since he does appear to be drunk.

The audio is lousy and/or doctored. Watch better audio from the 4 minute mark on at this link and he doesn't sound remotely drunk:

He's not drunk, just stumbling a bit in his speech. I do that quite often when I'm sleep-deprived. Obama seems to do that as well -- Oh shit, maybe he's drunk too! And... my God, as long as we're making accusations of drunkenness based on speech alone, what about W?

Watching the video along with the audio, I don't see the drunkenness. If you look long and hard enough for what you want to see, you'll see it.

I didn't see any drunkenness either. He seemed tired and a lot angry but that's about it.

Like requiring all federal employees be the first to join this expansion? How well did that go? Just curious how many libs here are going to drop their current coverage and be the first to sign up? Would love to see a dem put their fucking money where their mouth is. Of course we already know that the leadership in DC won't have anything to do with that.

"Involves slowing down the video and audio track at key points to create the illusion of a slurring drunk."

I wonder if those who produced this, were the same ones hired by the Obama campaign, when they ran doctored ads depicting McCain as slow and challenged.

He's drunk as shit and it took the typical lefty aplogists 3 days to gather up a cover story about the video ....and 3 days to gather the courage to deny that this foolish foolish man is slobbering hammered.

Whereas, Sunday , Monday all day long nobody denied he was drunk

what changed ??

I still see Baucus stammering, stuttering, spitting, and slurring, aside from the fact he is talking in circles and repeating the same stupid points over and over and over.

He's not drunk, just stumbling a bit in his speech. I do that quite often when I'm sleep-deprived. Obama seems to do that as well

Obama slurs and drools and stammers about because Obama is whacked on crystal meth - ocassionally, and of course, off camera.

This is no secret that Obama had a crystal meth habit.

You posted the story at 11 a.m. yesterday, 8Roper. What's this three days stuff?

surely you know what Baucus is like when he is sober. And if you compare - this is not a sober Baucus.

I say three days because i did not post the story here immediately as it broke - it was out for a day beforehand.

And if you compare - this is not a sober Baucus.

The video being passed around as proof that he was drunk is as fake as that JFK story yesterday. Watch the actual video:

Rcade after watching the video that you recommend, I have to admit, that even in YOUR video not only is Baucus toasted out of his mind, he is also severly retarded.

severely

I gladly let all of them stay drunk on out tax tab if only they will complete one frigging session without passing a thousand new laws and repealing none.

Funny comment considering your dead set against bills numbering in the thousands of pages that do just that.

He's also an illegal alien and a potential suicide bomber.

I didn't read the whole thread.

From *most* of MT.

*forheaddesk*

RCADE -

Would you forward every embarrassing Max Baucus thread to my Senator's web page?

I would do it, but I'm incapable as a non-Geek.

I will write letters to the Editor's, of every major MT newspaper. We only have a few, but still.

RESIGN.

Fucker just won a six year term.

With the affair, the bonuses to the mistress, and now the drunkedness.

*forheaddesk*

(I've typed some dumb and ridiculous posts on this DR, but nothing that was embarrassing.)

Max is embarrassing.
