Senator to marry long time girlfriend....

[nawainwright]

....after he cheated on his wife with the staffer....then tried to get the gal a govt job as the top US attny in Montana, that didn't work (he withdrew her name when a newspaper threatened to publish the connection)...then people got upset about it. But she settled for a job with the Justice Department where she wouldn't have to do any work and couldn't be kicked out by the next administration (even though, it doesn't look like she was qualified for this position either).

I know, its a story old as time, but dang it, nepotism bugs the fecal matter outta me!! It's not about what you know, its about who you're related to or who you're sleeping with. 32 years in the Senate....and this is the most creative plan he come up with.

....(even though, it doesn't look like she was qualified for this position either).

Fromthe story:

Hanes was a former state prosecutor before joining Baucus' staff.

I hate Baucuss tricks yet don't see why you think she was not "qualified"?

Looks like he is just trying to use his power to get what he wants? Seeing this way to much lately.

Well, ethically she's certainly not qualified to run an ice cream stand. The research I've done seems to indicate that she has been "run out" of her prosecutorial positions for ethics violations. So, while I don't know what the qualifications for the "justice dept" are (if it can so be called), I would not on ethical grounds have given her that position. By looking at her resume (http://www.mainjustice.com/files/2009/12/Hanes-resume.pdf) I do not believe she was qualified to be a federal prosecutor (plus those pesky ethical things).

I wish this fellow would have cited sources, but it is what it is: ronald wesley maly: Melodee Hanes
