Senator Baucus & Wife Split?
New York Daily News is reporting that our senior Senator (and 10th ranking US Senator) is on the outs with his wife Wanda:
As if Sen. Max Baucus hasn’t had enough on his mind as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, he and his wife, Wanda, have split. The Montana Democrat’s spokesman denied Baucus has been sleeping on his office couch, and released this statement from the couple: “In 25 years of spirited marriage, it is natural for differences of opinion to arise. We choose to discuss and resolve our differences privately and respectfully thank people for understanding.”
Well, politics aside, Baucus seems like a good guy, and I completely understand that he wants to keep this matter private. Unfortunately, when you live in the public eye, this sort of stuff just can’t be kept under wraps. Wanda, by the way, is no stranger to mild controversy; she was accused several years ago of an altercation over mulch.
In all seriousness - best wishes to him and Wanda. Hope they either work things out, or remain amicable.

I agree, he has worked very hard for our state and maybe he now needs a bit of time off to devote to him and his wife. i really hope they can work their problems out.
