Senator Max Baucus not drunk on Senate Floor (He was really just tired and angry alert)
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | December 28, 2009

Posted on 12/28/2009 6:00:46 AM PST by Zakeet

There's a video going around that claims Montana Senator Max Baucus is drunk on the floor of The Senate as he spiritedly takes on Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker in a talk about Health Care Reform.

In fact, the video that started the Conservative's nasty attack on Baucus is from Think Progress, which pointed to Baucus' articulate claims of Republican partisanship"

I want to tell the Senator that that is not what happened. I was in the room constantly, constantly. I talked to those Senators many many times. That is not what happened. I'll tell you what did happen. Your leadership pressured them, pressured them, pressured them not to work together. There is no European style effort in that room, that is a totally untruthful statement. Totally untruthful statement. None whatsoever...That assertion of working towards a European solution is entirely untrue. It's entirely false.

Now, if you can read that, and you can, then you have to agree Baucus was not "slurring" or "drunk" , or "slobbering" when he was speaking. Otherwise he could not have got off such a great blast against Wicker.

And Conservatives know it.

Rather, Baucus was just plain tired and really angry. The product of long hours of debate against Republicans who just don't play fair at all.

The San Fag chronicle apparently defines playing fair as voting with democRATS. Considering they think it is fair to bribe Senators to vote for a bill they would otherwisw oppose, I think they need a new dictionary.

Was this the same day he was scolding the Republicans for daring to invoke the name of The Swimmer? That was one day last week and I thought he sounded drunk then.

Darn! When I drank I never thought of the “I was just tired” excuse.

He was slurring and garrulous. Clearly a little tipsy...not that there’s anything wrong with that...

He was only acting like a drunken fool. When he wakes up, he won’t be drunk any more, though still a fool.

Yeah, right. I’ve heard exactly this excuse over and over from alcoholic inlaws, relatives and acquaintences. Not drunk, just tired and angry. I call BS on the drunken senator.

Those of us who have had an alcoholic parent recognize his affect.

God, it took me back.

Thanks!

Note that youtube has frozen the counter on the page Drudge links to from his site. youtube does not want the count getting so high that the video of the very sloshed loser Max Baucus hits their front page as a most watched video.

youtube only exists because of our capitalist system. They have become very rich because America is a free country. But yet they support drunks like this puke Baucus who long ago threw aside his oath of office. And in doing so youtube supports that which can destroy them. They kiss the leftist ass because they do not understand America any more than a drunk does. They can code but they are clueless.

Kind of sad isn’t it. youtube is afraid of free speech and free thought. It’s their site and their property so I say they can do with it what they want. But people have to understand that they are not at all impartial and are very active in supporting the leftist/marxist/communist way of doing things. Which may bite them on the ass someday whenever leftists like Obama or Congress decides that they want to run youtube 100% instead of just a little like they do now.

Please book mark and add your own congress critters contact info to it. A single source is much easier to use.

Local Senate contact numbers for when DC lines are busy and voice mails full

He is most definitely drunk. Pehaps he had not imbibed any spirits, but he is most definitely drunk with power, as are all of the Rats.

The Pubbies, meanwhile, just snivel ineffectively like drunks.

“Rather, Baucus was just plain tired and really angry.”

“our TSA system is working perfectly”

“and, if there were any problems, they would all be Bush’s fault”

You forgot,”Michele Obama is so beautiful.” Even when a lie just emphasizes the opposite, difficult truth, liberals cannot keep themselves from lying.
