A leader we can be proud of...

LePage: "Senator Jackson claims to be for the people, but he's the first one to give it to the people without providing Vaseline."



oops... was I not suppose to applaud?

It's going to be fun listening to the "wackos" defend this buffoon (LePage, in case you were not sure) for using "real language", "speaking the truth", and not being "politically correct".

To be fair, you should listen to the governor himself and the entire interview.

Natalie Benedix Putnam · Peru, Maine

Mr. Le Page, I have defended you in conversation more than once, stating that you are trying hard to change our state for the better. I have strongly believed in your changes, regardless of your "rough around the edge approach" however you have hit home this time. My husband is a logger (self employed business man) a very intelligent, hard worker & successful one, who pays taxes in this state. I really think if you could" Taste your words before spitting them out" all the time you spend apologizing would be put to more valuable use.

*****************************************************************************************************************************

So, all of the idiotic, insulting, juvenile, and embarrassing things the governor has said in the past about the citizens of Maine were OK? Now he says something that hits a little close to home that you don't like and he's a bad boy?

Ms. Putnam, maybe now you understand how 2/3s of the citizens of this state feel about its "fearless leader".

For years, I've been searching for what it really means to be "politically correct". After reading the blogs and comments by people defending LePage, I've come to the following conclusion:

Being politically correct means you are polite, courteous, reverent, honest, empathetic, sympathetic, well-mannered, considerate, civil, and statesman-like

Not being politically correct means you are rude, crude, disgusting, vulgar, uncouth, tasteless, irreverent, and boorish

Now that LePage's budget veto has been overridden by Democrats and Republicans, I expect we'll see a lot more Tea Party types not being politically correct.

Let the entertainment begin!

What LePage's defenders need to realize is, any number of Republicans could have accomplished in a day what it has taken LePage two+ years to accomplish and done so in a statesman-like manner.

Can anyone imagine Less Otten behaving like LePage?

NORTH BERWICK, Maine (AP) - Gov. Paul LePage, who's saved some of his harshest words for newspapers, has joked that he wants to blow up the headquarters of Maine's largest newspaper.

LePage said while seated in the F-35 cockpit simulator at an event at Pratt and Whitney on Friday that he wanted to blow up the headquarters of Maine's largest newspaper. Then he chuckled.

I'd like to know what would happen if someone joked that they'd like to blow up the Blaine House.

I'm sure the authorities would appreciate...a joke...

As he strapped into the F-35 Lightning II demonstrator machine, set up for attendees of Pratt & Whitney’s annual employee appreciation day, Maine’s Republican governor joked to a nearby Lockheed Martin Corp. guide: “I want to find the Press Herald building and blow it up.”

The Politically Correct vs the Non-Politically Correct, [Re: Mike Michaud].  Even though I mostly disagree with the Non-Politically Correct crowd, I do find their rhetoric contradictory at times, but very entertaining  .

Gov. Paul LePage told a group of Republican lawmakers and political supporters during a fundraiser on Aug. 12 that President Barack Obama “hates white people”.

LePage denies he said 'Obama hates white people'
