Baucus Nominated Girlfriend for U.S. Attorney
Fox News ^ | November 5, 2009

Posted on 12/05/2009 3:10:00 AM PST by Zakeet

A spokesman for U.S. Sen. Max Baucus says the Montana Democrat was in a romantic relationship with the woman he nominated for U.S. attorney.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus was already involved with his girlfriend and former staffer when he recommended her earlier this year to become the next U.S. attorney for Montana, a spokesman said.

The Montana Democrat and his former state office director Melodee Hanes began their relationship in the summer of 2008, after Baucus separated from his wife, Ty Matsdorf told The Associated Press late Friday.

Baucus nominated Hanes for the U.S. attorney post in Montana in March. But she later withdrew, saying she had been presented with other opportunities she couldn't pass up.

The wife of Montana Democratic Sen. Max Baucus has been charged with assaulting another woman following a Tuesday night dispute over mulch at a Washington, D.C., garden center.

A dispute over mulch!! I did not know there was a mulch shortage.

That was a funny DC story. Apparently Mrs Baucus was annoyed because the garden shop assistants assisted another customer before her. And she objected. After all: didn’t they know who she was?!!!!

Lucky for him he’s a Democrat. They never have to take responsibility for anything. The “news media” only hounds Republicans.

“A dispute over mulch!! I did not know there was a mulch shortage.”

Democrats can be recognized by an overbearing sense of entitlement.
