Report: Baucus' Girlfriend Worked on His Divorce While on His Staff
FoxNews.com ^ | 12/11/09 | Staff

Melodee Hanes, Baucus' former state director and now his live-in girlfriend, reportedly met at least twice with the Montana Democrat's divorce attorney to talk about the Baucuses' divorce eight months before the senator and his wife separated.

The last person to know that Sen. Max Baucus wanted a divorce may have been his wife of 25 years.

It appears that Wanda Baucus was in the dark even as a member of Baucus' staff -- Melodee Hanes, the woman who is now his live-in girlfriend -- was plotting out the senator's life without a wife.

Hanes, Baucus' former state director, reportedly met at least twice with the Montana Democrat's divorce attorney eight months before the senator and his wife separated.

Baucus appears to be another peach of a guy. What a loser.

You know, I always thought there was something really cheesy and cheap about Max. Now I know what it is.

Max, you are a regular tool and a magnificent putz.

...While on His Staff

That's what I call multi-tasking.

I figure this will get 1% of the attention the Sanford melodrama got a few months ago.

I have yet to see this reported on the evening broadcast news shows. I don't see everyone, so it's possible I've missed it. But, you'd have to be a monk or cloistered nun to have missed the Sanford scandal.

Just a wild guess. Outside of Fox News, it may get no coverage at all...but I don’t plan to watch the MSM to find out.

I understand she did the divorce work on a pro boner basis.

“Girlfriend Worked on His Divorce While on His Staff”

You have to admit, that’s efficient use of resources.

Ditto that. I can’t think of the last time I turned on the MSM.

These are both purportedly photos of Ms Hanes. Quite a difference.

""NIghtline" is gonna be all over this!! "

Speaking of Nightline - they had a story on this week that started out on Tiger, but ended with politicians that have been caught. Of course, they began with "Mark Sanford, Republican Governor of South Carolina". They went on to Kwayme Kilpatrick and someone else I can't remember, but didn't name their political affiliation. Isn't that convenient?

There was no mention of the most natural comparison, Elliot Spitzer - who had numerous affairs as well as solicited the services of a prostitute, just like Tiger allegedly.
