Then again, there are Americans like the wife of Senator Max Baucus (D-Toontown) one Wanda Baucus (do these two have great names for characters on Dexter's Laboratory, or what?) who has the following opinion on Saddam Hussein:
"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."
Uh huh. I love the official senatorial reponse to this latest entry into the Mary Lincoln Bughouse of Fame:
The senator declined to speak to us yesterday, but his chief of staff said in a statement: "Max and Wanda know they can agree to disagree. They respect each other's opinions and engage frequently in thoughtful discussions about any number of topics. And they learn from each other, which makes their marriage stronger. Max's number one priority is doing what's right for Montana and America. He strongly supports the troops and is praying for a quick end to the conflict in Iraq."
Translation: "The doctors told us that it would take at least two to three weeks for the new medication to take effect. In the meantime, Mrs. Baucus has been put in a home."

We didn't ALL vote for Baucus, you know, and it's not OUR fault that Baucus' opponent self-destructed in the final weeks of the campaign! Check out MT Politics for a look at how the "average" Montanan views politics and life.
Montana is a wonderful state, certainly better our elected legislators might lead you to believe.

Posted by: David at March 26, 2003 at 08:23 PMMr. Ross,
If MT is a "PoS of a state" (which it isn't), the root cause is the influx of fatuous lefties and celebrity jerk-offs who have taken up residence in certain parts of the state. Bozeman and Missoula aren't really Montana anymore. They will also be the first targets when the Joint MT-WY-ID Liberal Eradication Project is up and running.
Mrs. Baucus has obviously been sniffing Hollywood butt too much, and the fumes have fried her brain completely. She ought to be taken out to the woodshed for a come-to-Jesus talk. It's just too bad that ol' Max doesn't have the huevos to do it.
