Montana Senator Max Baucus (D-Tiger Woods) had his girlfriend working on his divorce 8 months BEFORE the Baucus's even SEPARATED??????

.
(Thanks to poster "Dave" for correcting the state I had originally listed. It IS Montana, and not Wyoming as I earlier indicated that Baucus represents in the Senate. My bad, and I apologize.)

Yeah... it takes a real piece of work to have a staffer who's a girl friend... a staffer being paid to have sexual liaisons with you using tax payer dollars... and a staffer working on your divorce 8 months before you even separate from the poor woman you're married to.

Sen. Max Baucus’ former state director — and now his live-in girlfriend — met at least twice with the senator’s divorce attorney to discuss the Baucuses’ divorce eight months before the senator and his wife, Wanda, separated.

The meetings took place in the summer of 2007, according to billing documents obtained by Lee Newspapers.

Contacted this week by Lee Newspapers and asked about these documents, Wanda Baucus said she knew nothing about those discussions in 2007 and that the couple had never had a discussion about getting a divorce.

Baucus is obviously scum. He should resign immediately and take that inflatable doll with him.

And while you're at it, Senator, take Ensign and Vitter with you.

Those that lead us should have some basic level of character. They should have some level of integrity.

Do we expect those who apply for the job to be saints?

Of course not.

I'm no saint. Few of us are. But at some point, there has to be a line. We would, I believe, want those who lead us to have, and exhibit, at least a basic understanding of honor.

For those like Baucus, Ensign and Vitter, this definition seems to have escaped them. This leads to the crux of the matter:

If these scum are willing to compromise on their honor in their personal lives... how difficult would it be for them to compromise their honor in their public lives?

Why... not difficult at all.

We have enough trouble with out clueless leadership at the top. Now, we need those with integrity and character they actually live by to lead us... to blunt and then reverse the horrific damage this out of control empty suit is doing to us.

But that's just me.

So.... what do leftists David Letterman and Max Baucus (D Senator from Montana) have in common?

.
Why, they both screwed their staff.

Except Baucus, as a token of his appreciation, nominated HIS girlfriend, a staffer also his State Director, as US Attorney for his home state, Montana. That they live together in DC, and did so before Baucus was divorced from his LAST wife, is purely coincidental.

Seems like he wants to do to his state what he's doing to her.

And of course their inter-sheet combat had nothing to do with it, right?

Roll Call said Hanes, who also is divorced, now lives with Baucus in the Eastern Market neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Matsdorf said Baucus' relationship with his girlfriend had nothing to do with his decision to nominate her.

Right. And I'm the Queen of Sheba. Clearly, her skills go beyond those of the mere legal.

"Senator Baucus recommended each of the three candidates based solely on qualifications, and merit, knowing whichever one the White House selected would
serve Montana well," Matsdorf said.

The spokesman said Baucus and Hanes decided during the nomination process that she should withdraw her name because the couple wanted to live together in Washington.

Matsdorf declined to say why the senator was just now disclosing the circumstances surrounding the nomination.

Baucus and his ex-wife Wanda announced last April that they planned to divorce after 25 years of marriage, his second. In a joint statement, they said they had "parted ways amicably and with mutual respect." Baucus previously was married to Ann Geracimos before marrying Wanda Baucus.

Main Justice, the Web site that broke the story, had this comment from Hanes' ex-husband, Thomas Bennett of Billings: "She was recommended for the position because of a very close and personal relationship with Max Baucus, and she withdrew because of a very close and personal relationship with Max Baucus."

Roll Call said Hanes worked as the regional finance director for Baucus' 2002 re-election campaign. From 2003 to 2005, she served as field director and counsel to his office. Hanes was Baucus' state director and counsel from 2005 until this spring.

The newspaper said Hanes previously was a deputy county attorney in Yellowstone County and mainly prosecuted felony sexual assault and child abuse cases.

"Mel is supremely qualified and she got to her current position based solely on her merit," Matsdorf said.

So, why is it OK for Baucus to boinc someone on his staff, and then do this as a result of her "supreme qualifications?"

And more importantly, whatever is the leftist Caucus going to do about Baucus?

Nothing.

As Letterman has proven, it's perfectly OK to screw the staff and act like a lowlife scumbag, with no fear of retaliation.

And, by the way? I believe that ANY politician acting this way should get nailed, REGARDLESS of Party. Ensign should have been kicked out and Vitter with him.

SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, has to hold these scum accountable.
