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.

"This is beyond the pale, and this type of gutter politics has no place in the public sphere," said Baucus spokesman Ty Matsdorf.

He did not say that he had not been drinking. He sure did a hell of a imitation of Foster Brooks.

I thought he slured and repeated himself. Why don’t they have to pass a UA to be on the senate floor?

You really have to be a Democrat to claim that posting an unedited clip of your stoned Senate tirade is a “smear.”

Beyond the pale? Does that mean he was soooooo drunk that he couldn’t even get it in the pale?

Gutter politics.

Here's a link to a famous Brrrpkus ad clearly depicting his opponent (Taylor) as effeminate while accusing him of theft. I wonder why the accusation itself wasn't sufficient without trying to demean and embarrass him.

OK, let’s take him at his word. He wasn’t drunk. So he’s like that - incoherrent and emotionally unstable - when he’s sober.

How exactly is that better? I think it is worse!

Baucus, like many Democrats are scared out of their wits at the anger they have unleashed in this nation.

This is a good sign.

Did you see him before the video clip started when he was yelling at McCain, who was trying to leave the Senate chamber and Bacchus Baucus wouldn’t let him leave till he finished his tirade....that’s what caught my interest and then I watched the rest in amazement. Time for drug testing for Congress, I think.

You really just have to be a drunk who’s handlers get us to look at the youtube vid on their website so the count goes down on youtube views and comments. If you get my drift.....

I am trying to figure out what exactly he is objecting to.

It's actual video, for cyring out loud. It's not like it's his head Photoshopped onto a gay porn star or something.

I guess with the commies, recording and playing back their statements is considered wrong and provacative.

Like when you little sister says "Mom! He's looking at me!"


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
