Max Baucus, chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, recommended that the White House nominate his girlfriend as a U.S. attorney in Montana, his office announced late Friday night- another furtive news dump from the Democrats.
Earlier this year, Baucus recommended that the White House consider Melodee Hanes (photo -here-) two other names for the U.S. attorney post – at the same time that the senator was carrying on a romantic relationship with Hanes, who had been his state director, and he's finally decided that he better release before it comes out elsewhere. Of course, this all started while he was still married, to boot-
This episode comes at a real bad time for Baucus, who is now leading Senate negotiations over the troubled, unpopular, and highly controversial health care bill. Will this hurt Baucus' credibility as the bill is debated on the Senate floor? You'd think so, but who knows in today's upside-down, morally-bankrupt DC... while of course the MSM and DNC will be doing their best to smother the story or cook-up some new Alinskyite diversion.
Today's Democrats just continue to rub their power-drunk arrogance in our faces... had enough yet? And just imagine what the Left would have been saying had Mark Sanford proceeded to go and get his mamasita a government job... these people's hypocrisy knows no bounds whatsoever- disgusting.
