Max Baucus' Political Grandstand

Larry Kudlow has a new post on Sen. Max Baucus' (D-MT) obstructionism within the Treasury Department that has received little attention. So far he has blocked the appointments for Deputy Secretary, two Under Secretaries and two Assistant Secretaries.

Mr. Baucus objects to administration policy that makes agriculture trade with Cuba more difficult. As a result, he has put a Senatorial hold on all Treasury Department nominations that require Senate confirmation. One of these includes the newly-created Assistant Secretary for Intelligence and Terrorism.

So let me get this right. Mr. Baucus is willing to trade with the terrorist Fidel Castro, who is also assisting the anti-American Venezuelan President Huge Chavez, but Baucus apparently has no qualms about undermining the intelligence/terrorist policy job that is crucial to fighting the terror war. Does this really make sense?

Come on Larry, he's a Democratic Senator...is he supposed to make sense?
