An Internet rumor about a Democratic senator being drunk on the Senate floor has prompted Mark Foley, the disgraced Florida Republican, to issue harsh words of condemnation that some observers see as being hypocritical.

Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) was accused last week by an anonymous YouTube user of being drunk on the Senate floor December 22.

Despite the lack of evidence, the Internet rumor made its way into the news cycle, with the Drudge Report headlining it under the title "DRUNK WITH POWER? TOP DEM SLURS ON SENATE FLOOR..."

And that's when former Florida House Rep. Mark Foley got in on the action.

Foley, who was forced to resign in September, 2006, after it emerged that he had exchanged sexually-charged text messages with underage congressional interns, posted the video to his Facebook page.
