Senator Foster Brooks Roasts Health Care Reform...(Updated...Foster Brooks responds)

Update: Senator (cough cough) Max Baucus' office has responded to allegations that he was three sheets to the wind while roasting the health care deform bill.

According to Emily's Post on Politics Daily, Maxieeeeee's ofix ishued this state ment:

"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".

See, I told y'all Max was taking up the mantle of Uncle Teddy. (End of update)

Just in case you missed it, Senator Max Baucus (Dimwit - North Dakota) hit the egg nog a little early.

After all, this was Uncle Teddy's pet issue. I reckon somebody has to take up his mantle, now that he's in a warmer place.
