"I wush on the shenate floor?"
Posted on 12/27/2009 7:32:49 AM PST by Michael van der Galien
During the general debate on the health care legislation that recently passed the Senate, Senator Max Baucus, Democrat from Montana, took to the floor of the Senate and engaged in a drunken tirade. Oblivious to the fact that he was slurring his words and mangling his sentences, Senator Baucus shouted down opponents as he let loose a rambling, and at times incoherent, tirade against those dastardly Republicans who refused to be bipartisan.
This drunk is the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, charged with overseeing our taxpayer dollars. As is clearly evident from this video, the less than honorable Baucus should not be in charge of a toll booth, much less have a say in the crafting of legislation that will affect every single American.
For shame.
Watch the video at NewsReal. Baucus is truly pathetic.

I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin' bushwackin', hornswagglin' cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter.
‘Seems like their usual bipartisan drunkeness to me.
I'm outraged by this. American men and women have died all over the world so we can be free. The beacon of that freedom is our representative republic. The US Senate is part of that republic. As broken as that republic is right now this piece of garbage is still unfit to be in the Senate chamber. A chamber that was once full of real Americans who were real patriots.
Max Baucus shows everyone in America clearly what is wrong with this country. It is being run from the top down by people that should be out on the street, in the gutter instead of anywhere near a position of power.
I am agitated!

What a crock - these worthless flippin' liberal communist idiots need to be hurt real bad in 2010. And anything, ANYTHING that this congress passes needs to be repealed along with a bunch of other stuff. It's time for an enormous backlash.
That's EXACTLY what we need. Shut 'em down. I don't know about y'all, but I'm sick of being a tax slave to these morons.
Breathtaking.
He is obviously drunk but it is the lies that stun me.
Bipartisan?? Who are the folks who won’t listen to one opposing idea?? Who exactly??
Pressure from leadership?? What??? Was this before or after the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana Purchase??
Max, alcohol will only dull the pain momentarily. Losing your job will hopefully be forever.
One would think this would embarrass some rats, but rats will be rats. New day, same old crap.
Why couldn’t Wicker have had the “balls” to ask Baucus if he was okay or something to highlight the fact that he was drunk. So many missed opportunities for the Pubs!!
I kept waiting for one of the Dems to interrupt to get him “off the stage”, LOL!!
To a dem bipartisan means one thing...YOU go along with us or else.
“I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin’ bushwackin’, hornswagglin’ cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter.”
Yes. Correct.
There should be a breathalizer installed by the door to the Senate.Blow more than the legal limit,get sent home for the day.
(Yea I know,but I can dream can’t I?)
Full Disclosure: I was already seriously considering such a move.
How many times Teddy was sober and on the Senate floor is a more interesting question.
My apologies for the comparison.
Happy New Year
“Consider that the most important business of the country is being conducted by people who are in a condition that would get a fry cook fired from McDonald’s.”
Michael Savage has speculated many times that he believes most of the members of Congress are under the influence of some type of mind altering substance. If you need a drug test to work at McDonald’s, then certainly members of Congress should be subjected to the same...
