No matter how they try to spin it, Senator Max Baucus was slurring his words and appeared to be a tad hammered during a recent speech on the Senate floor:
The Baucus camp is in full-denial mode but they fail to explain why he sounded like a barfly on the tail end of an all day bender:
A spokesman for Baucus released the following statement: "When his friend of 30 years Ted Kennedy, with whom he had fought so hard to provide health care to children, was being used as a cheap foil to oppose health care reform, Senator Baucus gave a passionate defense. Unfortunately, those who want to kill any meaningful reform, turned it into an unfounded, untrue personal smear internet rumor. This is beyond the pale and this type of gutter politics has no place in the public sphere. 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'."
For what it's worth Mr. Spokesman, the "personal attack" was given validity because no one could understand a word of what the piss drunk honorable Senator from Montana was saying.
