Max Baucus drunk in the Senate; still a ranking member

I missed this gem over the holiday weekend, but here’s a video of healthcare champion/philanderer Max Baucus slurring his speech about bipartisanship on the Senate floor. I don’t blame him. If I were lying through my teeth to the American people, I’d want to be blackout, too.

Baucus gave his mistress $14K raise, is still head of the Finance Committee

Max Baucus celebrates with Melodee Hanes looking on.

It’s not even worth detailing this ridiculous story, but if you want the whole lurid thing, here’s a detailed explanation of Baucus’ outrageously ethical and upstanding behavior from Politico. In case you’re too hungover to read a real news piece, however, just realize exactly where your stimulus dollars are going. You may have noticed that the unemployment rate is also still on the rise. That’s definitely “change you can believe in” (PS: YOU SHOULD NOT END A SENTENCE/POLITICAL SLOGAN IN A PREPOSITION. I AM ADDING THIS PARENTHETICAL TO BE SYNTACICALLY SOUND. JEEZ, OBAMA).
