Hypocrite

So, Senator Max Baucus (DINO-MT) submitted the name of his former state office director to be US Attorney in Montana to the President.

That's not so bad, in fact, that's what passes for normal.

What doesn't pass for normal is that they are sleeping together, and have been since before both got divorced from their prior spouses. (see also here):
“Senator Baucus is currently in a mature and happy relationship with Melodee Hanes. They are both divorced, and in no way was their relationship the cause of their respective divorces,” Ty Matsdorf, a spokesperson for Baucus, said in a statement to Main Justice.
Yeah, and Larry Craig has a wide stance.

More significantly, they started "dating" in the summer of 2008, and she was working as Baucus's state director and counsel until spring of this year, which means that he was Cheneying a subordinate, which is sexual harassment, even if the subordinate is willing, if you are not a Senator anyway.
