The next time someone tries, with a straight face, to tell you that the Senate is the world's greatest deliberative body and that elected politicians take their jobs seriously, or that reforming health care was a moral imperative that reflected the utmost in careful thought and planning, just show them this clip of Sen. Max Baucus (D - Montana) drunk off his ass debating health care on the Senate floor. Too drunk to drive, but drunk enough to argue for nationalizing a sixth of the US economy. Do we need an interlock system for the voting buttons in Congress?

maybe if more senators followed suit and got drunk we'd get better decisions out of washington.
