From Wikipedia - “the Greek god of wine and intoxication, known as Bacchus to Romans”

classic...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

You have that right. From the linked articles, the local papers are definitely in the tank for him. I love the one article that matter-of-factly states that Baucus speaks like this all the time and that he wasn’t slurring his words. I guess people can’t judge for themselves and need reporters to interpret for them.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Sen. Max Baucus' office Monday denounced a widely viewed Internet video that suggested Baucus was drunk on the Senate floor last week, calling it an "untrue, personal smear" designed to attack Democrats’ health-care reform legislation.

Toasted.

Senator Bacchus

The question was, was he drunk or stupid. If he was not drunk that leaves stupid. Personally I’d rather plead drunk.

[Doomonyou]

I'sh was not Looooaded.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

When someone thinks they can fool people they are really drunk!

On a Slightly related note...

I would like to Congratulate Senator TED KENNEDY for completing his FOURTH MONTH of Continuous Sobriety.

[duckworth]

When gay Bacchus fills my breast,
All my cares are lull’d to rest,
Thus I sit in mind elate,
Laughing at the farce of state.

Baccus, Jove’s delightful boy,
Generous god of wine and joy,
Still exhilarates my soul
With the raptures of the bowl

Baucus Lamely Claims He Wasn't Loaded

Translation: I could have swilled down at least three or four more 'tini's before I fall over. Us "Pros" know how to handle it. I learned from one of the best, a Kennedy.

Maybe old Max was just honoring his dead, drunk, and stupid friend from Mass. Or was trying to get appointed to the chairmanship of the Senate Lush Committee. A seat vacated when Max's drunk and stupid friend from Mass. dropped dead.

Foster Brooks was really funny. May he RIP.

[ridesthemiles]

He may cont to think that he would have been better off to claim that thruout all the ‘healthcare debate’ that he WAS drunk.

It might be the only excuse he will ever have for supporting this obscene mess.

Baucus to voters: “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?”

I love the one article that matter-of-factly states that Baucus speaks like this all the time....

Maybe all Libtards sound like this if we were to actually listen to them.

I wouldn't know, I'm just theorizing here.

[jazusamo]

Yeah, I guess the several times I’ve seen him on C-Span he really was drunk because he wasn’t speaking like that. lol
