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."

Yeah, she looks like a real class act.

Whenever Marc Rasicot sends me letters pleading for money, I remind him that he could have easily retired Baucus rather than give him a free re-election pass in '02.

I've been searching too..... I found the ZENO name and just wet myself, laughing. .... My GAWD ... how did this freakazoid family stay out of the limelight?

Think about all the crap they've (liberal media) gives Republicans.. and this Stanford lawyer, freakazoid wife and kid from another planet named.. "ZENO"!!!! get a pass. Jeez, I'm ready to option either a take off of 3rd Rock or reality show based on the people of Montana being stupid enough to elect this dork.

[Dick Vomer]

You better watch it.... I'll sick my son ZENO "the Barbarian" on you....

"Don't you know who I am?? I am Max Baucus's wife, and you are in big trouble now, cuz I'm going to get him and bring him to this little garden center because I can"

Hope the little victim of this assault gets a brand new mansion and a free ride.

Ten bucks says she uses the "menopause defense"

Don't you know who I am? I am the wife of a very powerful United States Senator.

The problem she has is that there are other important but less well known Democrats in her neighborhood. It could be one of them, or one of their spouses, that she assaulted.

Face it. Her only hope is to blame the VRWC and George W. Bush.

She was just so angry about the war in Iraq that she lost her temper ...

"My husband is a Senator and owns about a bazillion acres of sheep ranch in Montana. How dare you go ahead of me?!"

Typical entitled limousine liberal attitude.

[TrueBeliever9]

Imagine a Senator's wife acting like a garden-variety hoe.

That is hilarious!

[Fifth Business]

That explains the b*tchiness.

Naw, that doesn't count as a whole pun. That was only 2/3rds of a pun: P.U.

[aynrandfreak]

Absolutely. Now we just need to find the Toomey of Nebraska to deal w/Hagel. No more GOP weaklings.
