If you've spent enough time in bars, especially what is sometimes termed as "old man bars" - small, smokey, dingy, dark, charmless holes-in-the-ground off some godforsaken highway - you'll know exactly what Senator Max Baucus was doing before he hit the Senate floor in this bizarre video:
All that's missing is Senator Baucus tossing the empty bottle of Old Grand-Dad at the head of Senator Wicker, and we would have drunken perfection....
Politico seems to feel this is just a "conservative" firestorm, and is awaiting comment from Baucus's office on the video. Expect to hear about flu medications and long nights saving health care for the American people as an excuse for the drunken buffoonery of Baucus. If that doesn't work, we'll hear claims of "right-wing video alteration", or something equally stupid that will fool no one except the few remaining True Believers...
But I guess a lot of things make sense now, especially that clusterf*ck of a health care reform bill, which smelled of cheap whiskey from day one...
Bush made him drink.
