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.

He was more drunken than Ted Kennedy at Happy Hour!
So youtube pulled down the video? Figures.
With the promotion of Al Franken to Democrat Senator, the picture/smell of the democrap party has become clear to any nose in range.
Comrade Franken’s stolen election is the preview of the stolen election of 2010.
You’ve got to be kidding.
He is absolutely drunk in that photo. No. doubt. about. it.
I have to conclude you’ve not seen many functional drunks.
This guy has actually gone a step beyond that- it’s quite obvious he’s drunk.
I lived in Montana and saw Baucus act just like that when completely sober. Not on TV, up close and in person.
If he’s like that all the time, he’s either got something wrong with him (other than the liberalism disease) or he’s a functional drunk. I worked in bars for years and saw these guys all the time. Suit and tie, good job, high all day long.
Max BACCHUS!
Well, boozers don't get caught just once. Baucus will do it again, and the cameras are everywhere!
‘Tis the season to be jolly,especially when you’re giddily screwing the people you are supposed to work for.
He's gone from being 'that-Senator-from-out-West-somewhere-was-it-Wyoming?' to having his name and face actually known. Even if the media tries to cover up his next binge, we've ALL got camera phones now.
it was apparent raucous Baucus got his courage from a bottle, he sounded like the Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz, with more slurring of words
Why be so tired an angry with the GOP when he didn't need them, anyway- this democrat bunch is the angriest group of “winners’ we've seen
Gee...I figured that they would use the “Cold Medication” defense.
Tired and angry? Why didn't I think of that?
He was sloshed, yet strangely capable of performing a masterpiece of liberal projection. Who pressured whom?
