Senator Foster Brooks of Montana...
We're using the Democrats Saul Alinsky tactics against them now: Rule #5: "Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon."
How does it feel, Max?
Well, what WAS he if not drunk?
It’s a raucous Baucus caucus!
I am sure the senocrat (see second #47) was just overwhelmed with emotion, etc.
Looks like it took about five days for him and his staff to decide how to handle it. Outraged denial was definitely one way to go, but it’s easier to take seriously when it doesn’t take a week to get there.
Well, he was obviously impaired. Maybe not with booze. Perhaps it was pills. But the guy was definitely high.
He’s a democrap...if he speaks, he lies.
Perhaps “stoned” would be a better term to use then?
I guess we didn’t see what we saw.
Combine this with Napolitano saying that no homeland security director would say what she said, and I think the next thing we’ll hear is that we were always at war with Oceana and Obama always insisted that the health care takeover was going to be expensive.
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.
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!
“This is beyond the pale ... gutter politics ... slander ... disgusted ... sad ... personal attack ... .”
Ri-i-i-g-h-t!
“I’m not as think as you drunk I am!”
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 he wasn’t drunk. . he was doing his best to impersonate Otis Campbell!
If Baucus wasn’t drunk, he should check himself into the hospital for a possible stroke.
