Maine Governor LePage Hints At Special Session

Gov. Paul LePage is hinting that he'll call a special legislative session this fall to bring up an undisclosed issue, but says it will "push the envelope."

The Republican governor's comments were recorded at a GOP event in Bangor on Wednesday night and appeared Thursday in political columnist Mike Tipping's blog. In it, LePage says he has a plan to call lawmakers into special session but said the legislation he's looking at is being reviewed by the attorney general.

While not divulging the topic, LePage says it's what a lot of other Republican states have done.

“I think we can get it done in about a day and the Democrats, if you think they hate me now… Wow,” LePage says on the recording.

Democratic leaders say the governor should make his "secret plans" for a special session public. Rep. Emily Cain of Orono says LePage "is making partisan political threats and keeping the public in the dark."

This Governor continues to treat the people of Maine like they are morons.

This Governor continues to treat the DUmmies of Maine like they are morons.

Great name troll, Red snow, yellow snow, brown snow. Too much snow in Maine.

Maine GOP has got to keep control of the legislature or LePage will be kneecapped.

Your Zot cartoon is a good one Kent, but there is actually an even older use of “Zot!”

In the original Underdog cartoon series circa 1964 (with Underdog voiced by one of my all-time favorites, Wally Cox) the first season featured a four part serial entitled Zot!

Zot was both a planet inhabited by a race governed by King Klobber who either “zots” people by punching them or by dropping an enormous weight on their heads (The Great Zot.)

I have been trying, so far unsuccessfully, to find a suitable graphic that illustrates The Great Zot!

When I do, y’all will be the first to know.

So far all I've come up with is this opening credit to Part Four of Zot! It shows Sweet Polly Purebred held under the ominous presence of The Great Zot!

I remember that episode, as well. ;) I’ll keep an eye out for any likely jpegs, and (if I find any), will pass them along to you.

Well, snowgirlred, that was quick wasn't it? You didn't win any kudos here, just a nasty ol' ZOT. Oh, BTW, it's obvious what you're screen name realy means. "red" has nothing to do with a red state. It really means your affiliation with you're commie friends, doesn't it honey?

Anyway, now for all the fun and games...

Satchmo ZOT!!

[Old Sarge]

The Satchmo ZOT! Cool, Daddy-o, straight from the fridge, man!

[bcsco]

It just struck me one day while posting a ZOT response. I knew exactly where to find it, one of his “At the Crescendo” albums. It’s the end of his opener, “Sleepy Time Down South”. I just had to do it...

“Snow girl” either because you snort alotta “snow” or you think Olympia Snow is the bestest thing out there.
And “Red” because you’re a commie.
