Oops! Max Baucus Nominated Girlfriend for U.S. Attorney Slot
As a politician once told me after I explained he could not legally hire his wife for a specific job, "If you're not in politics to help out your friends and family, what's the point?" Looks like Max Baucus feels the same way:
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus’ office confirmed late Friday night that the Montana Democrat was carrying on an affair with his state office director, Melodee Hanes, when he nominated her to be U.S. attorney in Montana.
According to a source familiar with their relationship, Hanes and Baucus began their relationship in the summer of 2008 – nearly a year before Baucus and his wife, Wanda, divorced in April 2009. The Senator had informally separated from his wife in March 2008 and they were living apart when he began dating Hanes, according to Baucus' office.
Hanes ended her employment with Baucus in the spring of this year.
Hanes, who is divorced and now lives with Baucus in the Eastern Market neighborhood of Washington, D.C., ultimately withdrew her name from consideration for the U.S. attorney position in order to move to Washington, and she now works in the Justice Department’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention as a counselor to the administrator.
But really, as Marcy points out, it's Max's other relationship that has us concerned. Guess which one isn't being covered by the corporate media?
friendly woodpeckers will chisel these politicians noses back to its original size after it had grown enormous from their incorrigible lying.
Oh wait, they believe their own lies I forgot.
I've heard that George Washington had a woodpecker.

and did martha have splinters in her lip?
Say it ain't so Joe, err I mean Max…
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
whatever it takes to get ahead and be separated a safe distance from us American Riff Raff.
We keep electing these criminals to office... When are we going to wake up and form our own group to recruit , fund and support a REAL democratic candidate instead of the ones Emanuel and the other conservative republican elected as democrats pick for us..
Moveon.org and Democratic underground is attacking the democrats which have the guts to standup and say that this bill is a give a way like Kucinich...
I certainly am not talking about Baucus , blues dogs and the centrists which have moved away from us...
This is the worst group of BOUGHT democrats I have ever seem in my life time..
Why would I donate money , support and vote for most of the persons which call themselves democrats...
I really believe that Obama and the democrats would find a backbone and really make a change instead of crawling into the same hole as the republican party has been functioning for the last 8 years.
The Change Obama and the democrats are bringing to the table is a change We can not survive with..
None

So they can focus on acquiring, milking dry, and then flipping these "assets" for cash to the next dupe instead of job creation.
From state Attorney general nominee to truancy officer? Times are tough indeed.
George Bush tried to get his girlfriend on the Supreme Court.
keep quiet, and stay with him a few more years rather then risk taking a hit on his image?
Seems to be a popular method.

"Today Americans would be outraged if U. N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government."

shut up and go away so the world can be spared from his negative influence.
will unfortunately outlive him.
Good quote Evet. Only the faces have changed, but the U.S. foreign policy agenda remains the same.

It seems Government Sachs owns a little piece of just about everyone's ass these days.

is probably "sexting" his girlfriend(s) on company time also?
womanizing, lying, and cheating Politicians, Sports Stars, etc. etc.
if I'm not back this evening run a search along the bottom of some cliff.
LOL
where the good lord split ya.
What are friends for?
...surely a former mistress, bound to become his third wife.
Can he please become a Republican now? It's not like his 60th vote was doing a damned thing for us anyway.
They're so arrogant and confident in their ability to control the media message they openly have a WellPoint exec draft "reform" legislation.
Once upon a time they would have at least put a layer or two of straw men for appearance sake. They just don't care any more. The industry is openly flipping the entire country the bird.
The message is clear: we'll take what the industry wants to give or we'll have to deal with the teabaggers. They've effectively controlled both sides of the debate and the choices are the industry's plan or the industry's plan.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
'It was an ACCIDENT, see?
I didn't realize she was the same Melodee Hanes I was banging behind my wife's back...
A mere oversight, I swear...'
OMG, living together in sin. I'm shocked, but not surprised. Well, OK, not too shocked.
I like to mention that I typed up some new stuff and nonsense on the otherwise dead minaret thread I'd like y'all to see...
We'll keep the lights on for ya.

This guy is such a smarmy weasel it's not even funny.
Thank's Harry Reid, for putting this ASSHOLE in charge of health care reform, along with the other DINO scumbag's Conrad and Lincoln.
Looks like old Max Fuckus is really living up to his name.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
Just another day at the office , given the scum bags we repeatedly elect it won't be long and these stories won't even get mentioned . It's no wonder this country is going to hell , the worst of the worst are running it .
the more despicable I find him.
I am of a mindset that a person's personal/sex life is frankly no ones business but those directly involved or affected by one's indescretions. The applicable word in Mr. Baucus' instance is 'affected'.
I would hazard a bet that many, many people have been affected by the decisions of this dillusional, horny old fart. And not in a good way.
Any one of these sleezeball, consciousless politicians or bureucrats that sells out or trades off, whichever the case, the welfare and security of the nation for a selfish romp on the desk, deserves nothing less than complete exposure and prosecution (fat chance). Baucus has not simply been exposed he has committed a crime.
The usual "pat-tronage" appointments in the World Bank and the State Department aren't good enough for the mistresses anymore?
Well, par for the course. An insurance lobby bought whore wants to do special favors to enrich his girlfriend. After all, she is eminently qualified (by virtue of the fact that, what, she is fucking him)(and he is fucking us).
What a total BUM.
Capitalist pigs like Baucus will continue to tell us to eat cake.
God speed the American Revolution!
... is there anyone in government who is serious about governing? The reason I ask is, when do they have the time? They're always off cavorting with lobbyists, being lobbyists, buggering lobbyists, taking bribes from lobbyists. That doesn't leave much room for actual governance.
It's all so whoriffic.
