Baucus' Ex-Wife Once Defended Anita Hill Against 'Thug' Senators

Wanda Baucus, dragged into the spotlight by the revelation that her divorce from Sen. Max Baucus of Montana may have been plotted partly by his staffer-turned-girlfriend, once spoke out on behalf of Anita Hill during Clarence Thomas' contentious Supreme Court confirmation hearings

Wendy Baucus said at the time that Hill had suffered at the hands of senators acting like "a bunch of thugs."

Now Wendy Baucus is suffering at the hand of her ex-husband, after a Lee Newspapers report on billing documents that show Sen. Baucus' former state director, Melodee Hanes, met at least twice with his divorce attorney eight months before the Baucuses separated.

The two divorced in April. Hanes now is Sen. Baucus' live-in girlfriend.

Wasn’t Wendy wife #2? Who knows, keep digging and we may find Wendy was arranging Max’s first divorce?

Are Wanda and Wendy two different people or has Fox made some typos in its story?

Time to take it to the Max. If he were a Pubbie he’d be gone by now.

You sleep with dogs, you get fleas.

And I see nothing but political mongrels here. A pox on them all.

This story reminds me of Herman Talmadge, the legendary Georgia senator who was booted from office in part because of the way he treated his wife during their divorce.

I still think Baucus may retire when his term is up.

None of this will hurt him he will easily win reelection and the chances of him retiring are about as good as Teddy Kennedy getting reelected.

Donkey doo attracts Donkey doo.

Also Anita Hill was barely touched compared to Judge Thomas.

Yeah, Anita Hill suffered! She is the one that brought it up. She was the idiot who stuck her opinions where they didn't belong.

The class that Justice Thomas showed at the hearings was incredible. I would have personally beat the ass of more than one senator. Of course if I was Bork I would have belted Ted Kennedy in his smug drunken face.
