Just amazing:
Democratic Senator Max Baucus nominated his girlfriend to be US Attorney in Montana while they were dating.
Roll Call reported:
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.
First off: Just imagine if this had been a Republican!
Anyways – here we see the complete disregard for basic decency and the contempt our political class has for us and our morals. It should (a) never have occurred to Senator Baucus to have an affair with a subordinate; (b) never have happened before his divorce was final; (c) never should have occurred to him to nominate the party to his adulterous and possibly illegal affair as US Attorney. But, Baucus didn’t care – he’s a Master of the Universe and we peons just don’t have the right to question him.
Get out, Senator – resign, right now.
