Dovish Wife Pecks at Sen. Baucus, Praises Saddam

Dovish Wife Pecks at Sen. Baucus, Praises Saddam

Poor Sen. Max Baucus. To trick Montanans into re-electing him he did everything possible to fudge his identity as a Democrat and all but licked President Bush's cowboy boots. Now his appeasement activist of a wife is causing him problems.

The senator's wife, Wanda, a painter and anthropologist, has gone so far as to desecrate the American flag by replacing the stars with doves on an appeasement poster prominently displayed at their home in snooty Georgetown.

"We are way out of line" and have no right to fight Saddam Hussein, Mrs. B told the Washington Post.

"Baghdad is where the beginning of civilization occurred, literally where the wheel was invented, where the very first city was built, where writing began, and it has a very deep and profoundly beautiful history, which we should never take lightly, no matter who the existing president is," she rambled.

Saddam 'Cares About' the Citizens He Massacres

There is no evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, she claimed. Oh, and here's what she says about Iraq's genocidal dictator:

"I think he is very proud of the history of his country. I think it's we Americans who don't know the facts about what anthropologists call 'the cradle of civilization.' When we watch the bombing on television, we really don't seem to understand or appreciate that some of these places are sacred. ... I disagree with those who say that Saddam Hussein doesn't think about this. He cares about these places and their people."

Indeed? Perhaps the senator's wife should heed a fellow appeasement activist, the Rev. Kenneth Joseph, a would-be "human shield" who changed his mind after Iraqi citizens told him they "would commit suicide if American bombing didn't start. They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain their freedom from Saddam's bloody tyranny. They convinced me that Saddam was a monster the likes of which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. He and his sons are sick sadists.

"Their tales of slow torture and killing made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, feet first so they could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from foot to head," Joseph told Arnaud de Borchgrave.

Mrs. Baucus, not surprisingly, used to teach at Harvard and "regularly visits" France.

The Post's Lloyd Grove wrote, "We wondered if Baucus is talking one way in the Senate, where he has voted to support Bush's anti-Hussein politics, and another way at home."

A Baucus mouthpiece insisted the senator "believes strongly that Saddam Hussein and his regime must be removed from power."

"I've been very proud of her that she has her own view about things," the senator said. "We just agree to disagree. Like a lot of families, we have some vigorous discussions. This is Topic A for a lot of families. There are lots of questions raised about it."

We hate to tell you this, Senator, but Montana's major newspaper, the Billings Gazette, today rehashed the Post's report, so no doubt your constituents will raise "lots of questions" for you.

WHY didn't the Republicans run a decent candidate against this boob in a conservative state that voted for Bush? Racicot's state, says something about his "talents" as party chairman.

Re #3

We should pressure her to do a "tree-sitting" duty at one of the tall trees in the local area, for the duration of this war. That will cut down the noise level.

Baghdad is where the beginning of civilization occurred...hardly. It may be one of the places where recorded history began, but civilization was maturing for a long time before it became specialized and urban.

I concur. Is it possible that the leftist democrat liberals have entered the once conservative republican party to destroy it from within; like they did with the public schools and the state department and,yuk, the pentagon and military?

No question in my mind. The repubs allowed hitlery to win, they allowed davis to be re-elected. Isn't it curious that we no longer hear of rudy g's prostrate cancer? Is it possible that a deal was made for hitlery to win? People think rudy is a hero, but, I think he;s a phony and his heroism is a result of madison avenue propaganda. I'll never forget he backed cuomo over pataki!

As for a madison avenue approach to candidates, just wait until they start promoting condi rice ( I expect a "cooked rice" campaign).

development of civilization in the fertile crescent was arrested around 700 AD and has stayed such since.

Do you think she stopped her meds completely, lowered her dose, or switched to another in a different category?

They asked Racicot to run, but he had better things to do. JERK.

what's up with MONTANA?

GOP asked former Gov. Racicot to run against Baucus. Racicot -- who was GOP national chair - - couldn't be bothered. So they ran a nonentity and let the Dems keep the Senate seat. THANKS RACICOT!!!

If you like Baucus, THANK RACICOT. Racicot wouldn't run against him. Was OK with the Dems keeping this Senate seat. SHEESH - and they still kept Racicot as GOP national chair - after he showed he didn't care whether the GOP gained Montana's Senate seat. Shows that the GOP is a party of losers.

Hey, watch it... I'm from Montana and am proud of the fact that I didn't vote for Max. These two are nitwits and do not represent the good people here in Montana. Of course, neither do the serial bombers, murderers, white supremists, tax protestors, etc. that seem to settle here . :)
