He was probably thinking he did a great job, quite the oratory.

I don’t know how many times I have to say this. I lived in Montana for 5 years and attended a number of Baucus events (under duress) I’ve seen him like this in public before and he wasn’t drinking at all. The man is inarticulate when not working from a prepared speech.
And yet, they keep re-electing him.

It is possible he was not drunk.
I know his actions seem to indicate that he had consumed a few too many scotches on the rocks before he stood up to speak, but I've seen people who were wacked out of their minds on qualuudes or other tranquilzers behave in exactly the same way Mr. Baucus did.
In fairness to the senator, I think we should consider that possiblity before we condemn him for being drunk.

Hey, with Teddy “the Red-Nosed Senator” gone, SOMEONE had to take up the position of Chamber Lush.

Of course he wasn’t drunk.
That’s just the way he acts normally.
You should see him when he’s drunk!

Well, go to Mark Foley’s web page. But honestly, I can’t think of another person more unlikely to be casting stones - I’d take a drunk any day over a pedophile.

If Baucus wasn’t drunk, he should check himself into the hospital for a possible stroke.

It is this type of slander that makes Montanans, and Americans, disgusted with the politics as usual in Washington. And what is even more sad is that such a personal attack would be given any validity at all, let alone being elevated to the status of news." Funny, I didn't hear Max's little mouthpiece utter these words when Sarah Palin was being pilloried by the "media."

Well, you see, he passed out shortly after his little “speech”. His “handlers” had to wait for him to wake up and recover from his hangover before they could send him out to deny he was roaring drunk.
These things take time...

If he was sober then he has no excuse for calling his esteemed colleagues liars and cowards. He did everything short of calling them outside to schettle dish like men.

I dunno, Does Baucus actually say “I was NOT drunk” or does he just talk about it being gutter politics?

I hear Chris Dodd does a good impression of Senator Kennedy. He should with all the years they caroused together (can you say waitress sandwich?).
