Max Baucus: Hey, You Know Who'd Make an Outstanding US Attorney? My Special Friend. She Knows All About Oral Arguments, Legal Briefs, and Penal Colonies, If You Know What I Mean.

I'm Banging the Stuffings Out of Her, Is What I Mean.

Nominated his mistress for US Attorney.

Well, at least his affair didn't have anything to do with his job performance. Except for the, you know, nominating his schmumpie-wumpie to one of the most powerful positions in the US government.

Takes balls. Two of them, preferably.

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.

Fortunately he's not a "right wing pro-marriage type guy against gay marriage" or else there might be some rule about nominating the bit of crumpet you're schtupping this week to a top federal prosecutor slot.

So long as you're not right wing and pro-marriage, this stuff is easy-breezey-lemon-squeezey.

Man, gotta be great to be a Democrat. It's like 1977 at Hef's pad over there. Nothin' but fondue and sodomy over on that side of the aisle.

What the hell am I doing over here? With you guys? On a Friday night?

I have made some disastrous lifepath decisions.

Thanks to Edward.
