Metro Max (From Wiki)

Baucus has come under fire from critics calling him a beltway insider who no longer really lives in Montana and only occasionally comes to visit.[47] Until 1991, Baucus owned a house in Missoula, where he practiced law for three years before running for Congress in 1974. He didn’t own a home again in Montana until February 2002, when he bought half of his mother’s house from the Sieben Ranch Company, the ranch started by Baucus’s great-grandfather in 1897. The ranch company, and Baucus’s mother, still own the other half of the house. Baucus has owned a home in Washington, D.C.’s upscale Georgetown district since 1984. As of November 2007, the Missoulian newspaper reported he owned no other property in Montana.

In April 2009, The Associated Press reported that Baucus and his wife, the former Wanda Minge, are divorcing after 25 years of marriage and have “parted ways amicably and with mutual respect.”[48]. Starting in 2008, Baucus had been carrying on an affair with his state office director, Melodee Hanes, who he later nominated to be U.S. Attorney in Montana.[49] Hanes later withdrew her nomination when the conflict of interest became known, though she and Baucus are still involved.

Baucus has one son, Zeno, by his first wife, Ann Geracimos

SO THIS MAN IS TWICE DIVORCED, DOESN’T LIVE IN MONTANA, AND ABUSES HIS POWER TO HELP HIS GIRLFRIEND.

Phew, what a great ‘representative’ of the people!
