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."

This is the same woman that praised Saddam during the war last year

This sounds like an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." It seems that Larry David gets arrested or thrown out of a store in about half the episodes.

Disgusting. The elitist b*tch thought the fact that her hubby was a U.S. Senator was going to get her off the hook.

And maybe since she's such a Saddam-lover they oughta throw in a treason charge.

Ah, for the days when words meant things...

"I stand by her 110%, and she has my full support."

Translation: I support my wife's right to act like a jackass in public.

When Baucus got the call, he probably said that now famous line I see posted here often:

"Aw Geez, not this $#!^ again!"

This woman (D) is one person the media won't ask to issue an apology.

This is off topic a little bit but still related.


There was a big hoopla in the office about a year ago about the Muhammid Ali museum coming to town.

One of the ladies got to talking about how unjust it was that he was imprisoned for being a contientious objecter.
I commented that it was totally just.

When asked why I felt that way my response " How can you claim to be a pasifist when you make your living with your fists."

Just another peacenik hypocrit.

As the previous article said:

The senator's wife, Wanda, a painter and anthropologist, has gone so far as to desecrate the American flag by replacing the stars with doves

Sounds like she's only a peacenik when she's not personally involved.
