Bizarre Baucus Behavior on Senate Floor Ignored by MSM
NewsBusters ^ | December 27, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

How can one explain this incredibly bizarre performance by Max Baucus on the Senate floor? Was Baucus so intoxicated by the sound of his own voice that he went off the deep end? Or perhaps he was so drunk with power over shaping the Senate health care bill that it explains his strange rant. In any event, if a conservative such as Jim DeMint or Jeff Sessions had acted this way in the Senate, the mainstream media would have featured the video over and over and over again. Instead, since this was Democrat Max Baucus, this video was almost completely ignored by the MSM.

Since the MSM has provided no information on the Baucus performance, your humble correspondent has searched the blogosphere for answers. Here is an observation from Susan Flowers at Examiner.Com:

Is this acceptable, NO. Is this behavior and lack of leadership acceptable to U.S. Citizens who are paying his salary?

Have all rules established over hundreds of years being thrown out and disregarded by the Democrat party? He should be brought before his peers and punished, if they don't, should Voters, as employers, write him up for inappropriate behavior and disorderly conduct?

Americans are paying taxes to support his career. If you disapprove, call and write the other Senators and request he be charged with disorderly conduct. No one in the Congress or Senate should be allowed to be intoxicated when officially representing the Citizens of the USA.

Baucus is a putz, and needs to be retired.”

Montana is already circulating petitions to get him out of his job. They are also pissed at their other Senator.

Max, the first step is admitting you have a problem.

I thought drinking on Federal Property was illegal.

Just think about what would happen to you if you showed up at work drunk as a skunk like this ?

No problem if I owned the place.

Random drug and alcohol testing for all politicians, if found to be under the influence, immediate termination and loss of all benefits.
THAT SHOULD BE THE LAW!
That's how I worked for 30 years and I'm sure that many here worked under those rules also.
