WASHINGTON -- The wife of a U.S. senator is in trouble with the law

Wanda Baucus is the wife of Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana. She is accused of assaulting a woman Tuesday at Johnson's Garden Center on Van Ness Street, Northwest.

Mrs. Baucus was released Wednesday afternoon after an appearance in D.C. Superior Court. She was officially charged with assault in court.

The incident happened in the parking lot of the garden center.

Sources told News4 that Mrs. Baucus was upset because another customer was getting help with mulch ahead of her.

Sources told News4's Pat Collins that Mrs. Baucus dropped a bag of mulch under the woman's car, then struck the woman in the body and face a number of times.

Collins reported that Mrs. Baucus drove from the scene, and returned a while later with her husband. That is when she talked to police about the incident.

A warrant for Mrs. Baucus was issued Wednesday and she was booked at the 2nd District police headquarters. From there, she was taken to D.C. Superior Court.

The judge released her on her personal recognizance on the condition that she stays away from the victim and away from the garden center.

The senator released a statement Wednesday, saying, "There was a situation involving Wanda last night. We are trying to sort it out, going through proper channels. I stand by her 110 percent, and she has my full support."

I think that says it all. Hey, just got a look at the monument to Benedict Arnold's leg. Now I know what I'm doing on my next vacation.

How is the Montana press dealing with this? Are they even reporting it or is it confined to internet and DC?

[Joe 6-pack]

I think it's obvious by now, that the police planted the evidence.

I'm surprised they haven't caught Ter-ray-zah on camera yet. She treats little people like dirt.

[fortunecookie]

Well, what nerve that anonymous woman had, not offering her place in line to Queen Wanda.

Puh-lease. What a loon the Senator has for a wife! What is it with Democrats that they feel they should be treated like royalty at the expense of the rest of us?? Just automatically and naturally offered deferential and preferential treatment...

I'm no expert, but isn't she doing "Drunken Master" Kung-fu??

I don't care that Clooney is a liberal. I can watch that movie a dozen times.

I think the most telling thing is that she accused the other woman of assaulting her. Once again, the 'rat is accusing someone else of precisely what the 'rat is actually guilty of.

It made the Missoulian this morning. And the article also brought up her 'pro Saddam' points of view. Not a good day at the Baucus house.

Lord, are you beginning to cause these idiots to fall into their own pits of vanity, evil, idiocy?

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL.

Please make a vivid lesson of their duplicitous idiocy, Lord.

[Quix]

Let's not get bogged down in this compost, now!

[Quix]

Sounds like a whole industry could grow up around LAMPOONING THIS IDIOT BROAD.

Goofy loopy hats with sayings about her loopy idiocy.

T-shirts about her duplicitous idiocy.

Bumper stickers ditto.

I think some conservative creative character should make a mint off her for the cause of conservatism.

She makes such a great foil, it seems to me. . . kind of like an idiot to the extreme.

[Quix]

I'm sure that's true.

HOWEVER, VAIN, ARROGANT, TYRANNICAL, DUPLICITOUS HYPOCRITS are

vulnerable there, than average, aren't they?

BREAK AHEAD of her or

just be there ahead of her and in the elitist's way???

Ya wanna know why Max keeps winning? For one thing, his great-grandfather was a pioneer in this state. He isn't an outsider. Max spends a lot of time in the state, and does not have that arrogant attitude---the one his wife obviously does! He is very approachable. He always answers my complaining letters and I have chatted with him during the "Rankin Run". He is very likeable.

But, more than that, we are a poor state, and he really works hard to get money and jobs into our state! He is a powerful democrat, who buys the voters off. Many are willing to over look his liberal stances, because they like him, and he brings jobs (hiway jobs) and money to our communities. And right now, we have a huge problem in Libby, which the people and the state can not afford to deal with!

To tell you the truth, I have never seen his wife before--and didn't even know he had a son!

Hey Cate, do you know who the first wife was? His son "Zeno" was born to the first wife, according to the Helena IR
