Conspiracy

If I believed Senator Baucus was intelligent, I would also believe that he conspired with President Obama for his job as ambassador to China.

Baucus’s job outlook looked dim. His authorizing and support of the ACA would not go over with the voters of Montana. So he tried to distance himself from his work by pronouncing the oncoming train wreck. The oncoming train wreck being obvious to everyone but Democrats.

But that was like trying to bail out the Titanic with a teacup. Plus it probably removed Baucus from Obama’s Christmas card list.

But somebody, probably not Baucus, saw opportunity in disaster. Save the Democrat seat in Montana and get Baucus back on the bus with a bribe of a cushy retirement. Therefore we get the early retirement of Baucus, Governor Bullock getting to appoint his favorite buddy to the senate and Baucus back to supporting the ACA. This also leaves Bullock on the owing side to Obama. And leaves a Democrat senator with no ties to the ACA as an incumbent senator.

Who needs money to corrupt our elected offices, they do a fine job by themselves.
