A speech by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) on health care has been generating buzz on the Internet, as the Drudge Report and others are suggesting that Baucus was slurring his speech and possibly “intoxicated” during his remarks.
“DRUNK WITH POWER? TOP DEM SLURS ON SENATE FLOOR …” reads the Drudge Report headline.
Newsbusters.org writes: “How can one explain this incredibly bizarre performance by Max Baucus on the Senate floor? Was Baucus so intoxicated by the sound of his own voice that he went off the deep end? Or perhaps he was so drunk with power over shaping the Senate health care bill that it explains his strange rant.”

I suppose it’s the time of year and the man has had a few but in truth he’s saying what he thinks. I don’t agree with him and “Dem’s” are to be avoided like rattle snakes but here you go.
“Booze in — truth out.”
Demonrats are drunk on power anyway, they might as well have a few drinks and rub it in….
