We’re all guilty of the same thing, so it’s kind of hard to hold it against him, but I will anyway. Most of us don’t pass laws for a country of 300 million people. Those that do probably shouldn’t have a say in who administers those laws, given some of the legislation coming out of the senate. Could be some bias there…
Max Baucus, the Montana senator that came up with a health care bill so bad that not even Democrats wanted it, apparently had more on his mind than just coming up with shitty bills. It turns out that Mad Max recommended his girlfriend for a position as U.S. Attorney. Although he claims there was no bias, and her name was submitted to the White House with two others…Who are we kidding? Max was thinking with his zipper and he nominated his girlfriend. Fess’ up Max.
It looks like she is an actual attorney, and most likely wouldn’t be any worse than anyone else Baucus nominated. The troubling thing is that Max Baucus has any kind of clout as to who becomes a U.S. attorney. I don’t want this guy picking grapes much less something as important as U.S. attorney. On the other hand, she probably wouldn’t have done much damage in Montana, and Baucus may have kept her on a short leash just to cover himself.
Given the current political climate, we don’t know that, and although Baucus hasn’t actually broken any laws, there are certainly ethical questions. He’ll have to get in line with the other crooks, like Charlie Rangel and Chris Dodd. The line has actually moved since refrigerator Jefferson went down. Remember, Maxine Waters admitted that congress was full of scumbags. This kind of transgression is probably far down on the list of investigations. Doesn’t look like the the eunuch Republicans are putting up much of a argument either. How could they? With the skeletons in the GOP closet?
Baucus withdrew the name. My guess is this thing will be swept away. Sorry Mel. It was a stupid move by Baucus. Apparently, you don’t need common sense to be senator. All of it is moot anyway. She nailed a job at the Justice Department. Yes, the same Black Panther loving, ACORN ignoring, try KSM in New York Justice Department. Wow, who did she have to sleep with to get that job? It seems to me she could do more damage there than in some outpost in Montana. We’ll see.






Only an ass would do this. I am beginning to believe that the word “shame” is no longer a valid word.
I think these guys still have their head in “the good old days” when nobody was paying attention. They’re being watched like hawks now. Eye on you, Max.
While he didn’t technically do anything wrong, to pretend that he only brought her name forward on her qualifications and not because of his relationship with her shows us just how stupid he thinks the American people are.
Plenty of stupid people to back up his case, but there are plenty of smart and vigilant people too. Max didn’t count on that.
I just had to comment. The title alone was worth the read! I would say you nailed that one on the proverbial head! Ouch!
Heh, heh, if this ever was a family blog, it isn’t anymore.
Oh…this was a family blog. Oops!
