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.
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.
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.

“No, wait, um...”
"Damn, I need another Scotch..."
Yeah, he wasn’t drunk and he’s never had a mistress. no, really...
Let me see here. Baucus is claiming he wasn’t drunk when he acted this way? That should not make anyone feel better IMO. At least his being drunk would provide an explanation for his bad behavior. By claiming he wasn’t drunk means he acted that badly on purpose?
What other job (besides Congressman) allows an inebriated person to report to work?

Burp,belch I waz not imbibing any spirits I waz sober when I supports that crap..belch.
I didn’t know C-Span was in the smear business.
This is a failure on the part of mob boss Harry Reid. If this had been Nazi Pelosi’s side of the chamber, the cameras and microphones would have simply been turned off.
Some Republican Senator should bring a breathilizer to the Senate. OH, Senator, BLOW this will you?
Baucus may be reaching the end of the political trail. He has been around long enough to have become thoroughly corrupted in the Washington, D.C. cesspool. I think it was significant that when he stood before the world to attempt to explain how wonderful his health care reform Bill was he stood alone.
Why? I don’t know, but it seemed very strange because the Democratic Party leadership was fighting hard to get this kind of legislation passed. There has been grumbling in Montana for years about Baucus being out of touch with Montanans.
In that video he certainly sounded and looked as though he was drunk. When I read this article reporting the Baucus aide claiming that this was an unfair political attack I was reminded of an old saying. It was something about “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?” In this case we are asked to disbelieve our lying ears too.
Of course he wasn’t loaded, he hadn’t passed out yet!
” Baucus was drunk on the Senate floor last week”
Let’s get our geography right. He was drunk wobbling on the senate floor.
>> “denounced a widely viewed Internet video that suggested Baucus was drunk on the Senate floor”
He probably just brushed his teeth.
Quick question.
Guy says he was not drunk.
Says he was totally sober.
Never says how many drinks he had.
Never says he didn’t have a single drink.
So. How many drinks did he have?
