<snip>

After speaking at a preventive-care conference here last week, he was swarmed by protesters. Or, in Mr. Baucus’s words, “agitators, whose sole goal was to intimidate, disrupt and not let any meaningful conversation go on.” There were a couple of people in the crowd “with YouTubes,” Mr. Baucus added (meaning cameras), and he posited that the agitators were paid and probably from out of state. (“I could just sense it,” he said.)

1. Aren't the Internets made of a series of "YouTubes"?

God, conservatives are just so dumb.

Conservative Dems, that is.

They need to be included too. :)

2. Why in the heck were they carrying these?

Were there people there measuring gas pressure?

Oh... wait.

7. I think Baucus has never seen Youtube, he has his staff watch them for him

ditto on his email.

i have a suspicion that 30% of senators cannot use a computer and get away with it by having staff do it for them.

give me a break. :banghead:

perhaps he'll have more time to learn after he loses his primary.

8. As in "Are you happy to see me, or is that a YouTube in your pocket"?

9. Baucus: "I could just sense it"

10. Did they have some internets with them?

I used to have a YouTube, but it got lost in the ethernet.

11. Maybe Max got my message

When I called his office I expressed to his staffer that while real people out here are really dying and losing everything they own because of the disgrace of our health care system is based on profits, politicians like him (Sen Baucus) and the media are giving credibility to the nut cases who are disrupting town hall meetings who don't know what the hell they are talking about.

16. I told my son the quote. He thought Baucus meant

people with YouTube accounts. HOW did Leibovich guess he meant cameras? Do we have confirmation from Baucus that he meant cameras?
