Oh boy. So glad this winner is the Chairman of the Finance Committee. Example #3,472 of what's wrong with American politics.

YouTube - Senator Max Baucus Drunk / Intoxicated...

Very true GM . Too tired to add much more .

For the country's sake, I wish all of these guys would go on a very long recess.

I'd be drinking too if I was forced to read some 1000 page thing of bs.

He should change his name to Max Bacchus

That's because the liberal mainstream media is ignoring the truth.

Yet when Cheney cursed on the floor it was a big story.

Did Baucus curse? I listened to the whole video but don't recall it.

Have you ever watched C-SPAN or coverage of a floor debate or argument? Is this type of speech new to you?

Neo-conservatives have to be the biggest sheep ever. Well, I don't know, but this guy seems like he does.. so I agree!!!!!

huh?

You actually think a Senator delivering a speech while drunk isn't as bad as the VP cursing privately on the floor and it accidentally getting picked up by a microphone? That's cool.

I don't know if he was drunk or not but he sure sounded like it to me. And yes I have watched plenty of floor coverage...both the Senate and the House. I don't give a rat's ass what he was saying but doing it inebriated seems pretty damn reckless, irresponsible and disrespectful to me. Democrat or Republican doesn't matter, if he was drunk he should be brought up on ethics charges.

The truth that he's drunk? He doesn't even sound halfway drunk to me, just slightly heated.

More propagandist BS -- the longer we split people by party line the longer this will go on. If you're not trying to work with the other party instead of oppose them you're part of the problem.. and that transcends parties and ideologies.

So if one disagrees with a bill they should just go along so they are not part of the problem? That makes no sense and then every bill ever introduced would get passed.
