I believe this was actually a tribute to the late great Ted Kennedy. What other politician, or even well known person, is associated more with overconsumption of alcohol? Sure, Dean Martin was close back in the 1960’s but Ted got it done for decades! From Chappy to frolicking on the lawn in Florida while a relative raped a woman.....

Gotta love that “conservative” fire. Those nasty old conservatives are picking on poor Max. Hey, you’d drink too if you had to work in the Senate . . . . .

There have been many court cases thrown out on appeal when it was learned a judge or lawyer was intoxicated during the hearing.

Just a thought, with Baucus obviously intoxicated durig the deliberations/voting on the bill, would his “condition” assist in an appeal to bring down DeathCare in the courts?

A unconstitutional bill, deliberated on an passed by inebriated senators, some who were openly bribed for their votes. Even the 9th Circus would have a hard time justifying the bills passage into law.

Any legal minds out there have an opinion on it?

Good point. So typical of the treason-media complex, but completely false. Even the DUers pronounced him drunk, and posters at the San Francisco Chronicle overwhelmingly agree he was smashed.

The “conservatives going after Baucus” line is rather amusing.

Even DU had a thread up - they thought he was drunk too....

One standard for democrats, wackos, liberals and other mentally-unstable individuals.
Another standard for normal people.

I wonder if the tax payer Senate bar has cocktail service? Maybe they also have Waitress sandwiches.

Perhaps he needs to get drunk to mollify his conscience.

You continue to be quoted!

I'm sort of like the Forrest Gump of the Web.
