AUGUSTA, Maine — The often-brash governor of Maine used crude language Thursday to express his frustration over the state budget, targeting a Democratic opponent with a sexually vulgar phrase to describe how he believes he is taking advantage of the people.

Gov. Paul LePage made the remark about Sen. Troy Jackson to journalists from two television stations and one newspaper Thursday.

I can’t wait to see what LePage has to say about his upcoming gubernatorial opponent, who actually is a packer.

I am not doubting what you say, I am only asking, for while I am convinced Michuad is bottom, I would love to see proof.

The only bad thing I’ve ever heard Paul say was that he would be Maine’s Chris Christie. That was, of course, before Christie showed his real colors. I believe Paul was running for gov at the time.

The party affiliations were carefully included of course, in this completely unspun news story.

LOL

“The only bad thing I’ve ever heard Paul say was that he would be Maine’s Chris Christie.”

Wow....I never heard LePage say that.

Christie, as we know, is a RINO.

LePage is the opposite. When LePage ran for governor in 2010, he was caught on video saying that if elected, he would probably spend most of his time telling Obama to “go to hell.”

IIRC that was said at a rally I attended when he was running. Christie was just becoming known.

About the only thing that I don’t like is his upcoming dinner that will feature Jeb Bush as well as Snowe (didn’t she retire?) and Collins. Bad company from a conservative’s standpoint.

Uncut Video: Gov. LePage comments spark controversy

Gov. LePage again telling it how it is. I think the American people will begin to elect politicians who tell it like it is like Gov. LePage and not sugar coat it with lies and PC statements so they do not offend somebody.

I’ve heard Ann Coulter on talk radio say she wishes LePage would run for president.

Gov LePage makes Chris Krispy Creme look like a PC Jeb Bush. While Crispy Creme tearfully hugs Obama Le Page tells Obama "Get out of my state"

Maine governor makes vulgar remark about lawmaker ...Le Page tells Obama "Get out of my state"..."the NAACP is a special interest group, they can kiss my butt" and many other gems.

A real politician would never dare say such intemperate things...simply leaving one to draw this conclusion:

He's not a politician!

He's a breath of fresh air...TEAparty.

You are right! I had thought of that after I had written it but had already hit the post button.
