Question #1: He doesn’t actually expect us to believe that performance was given without him being drunk, right? This must be a wink-wink-nudge-nudge denial.

Question #2: What took his office so long to issue a statement? The video has been prominent for several days now. You’d think they would’ve immediately smacked-down the story if it really was baseless.

Question #3: Why should we believe anything he says? He’s already admitted to having an affair, appointing his mistress as U.S. Attorney, taking her on taxpayer-funded junkets, and giving her a salary increase courtesy of Uncle Sam. He’s not exactly the most trustworthy individual.

Note to Baucus: Just admit you were hammered. You’re already a disgrace (see the previous paragraph). It’s not like your reputation is going to suffer any further by admitting you were drunk on the Senate floor.
