There's a little kerfluffle going on over Montana Sen. Max Baucus' late Friday revelation about his relationship with a woman he had nominated to be U.S. Attorney for the state.
Someone at Daily Kos did a little journalism and comes up with some very disturbing details about her career and behavior because of her relationship with the state medical examiner while she was prosecuting in Iowa.
This may never go anywhere in terms of Baucus' career or anything else, but it's a case study of what anyone with a computer and an internet connection can do in a matter of hours, something the traditional media — the "real journalists" — often don't bother with.
It's short and worth a read also because you get a real time view of how things often work in power circles.
Don't bother with the comments, they're mostly in the weeds about whether we should protect compromised Democrats who are going to vote our way, blah-blah.
