Too bad it wasn’t in a 55 gal. Drum shot from a compressed air cannon.

The guy still thinks people use Vaseline? Someone throw some Astro Glide or a nice silicone based lubricant at him.

LePage is taking a page out of Brownbook’s Book of Stupid.
So how’s that working for Kansas?
Maine would do well to take some time and study the debacle that the Sunflower State suffers, even as we speak.
And why is it they keep trying the same thing, over and over, expecting different results?
There’s a name for that.

Local news is reporting that the ex-lawmaker “tossed” rather than “threw” the jar at the Governor. She was not arrested, so apparently posed no real threat to the Governor.

Lepage doesn’t need Vaseline, he’s obviously got asn ample supply of Brylcream.
was LePage nimble enough to catch it?
I do not condone jar-throwing. But if she’d socked him with a big loose glob of it right in the face, well, that would have been pretty cool. I wouldn’t strictly condone that either, it’s still kind of assault and batteryish, but I’d have enjoyed it.

James Fallows remarked at the time that no matter what you thought of his policies, Dubya did a pretty good job of ducking that shoe. We’ll have to wait for the film on this one.

Yes, if she threw it at him, that’s assault. If she just lobbed it up next to him, that is symbolic.
Liquid Silk is awesome. Just sayin’ is all.
But on second thought, it’s too expensive to waste on this loser.

If bush had caught the shoe and tossed it back, he’d get my respect… ducking things like the truth about WMD’s and torture is what made W so disgusting in the first place.

If this dimwit had any sense, he’d use it to get his head out of his ass.

Video is posted on the Portland Press Herald web site. It seem quite clear that she didn’t throw it; it looks like an underhanded toss to me. The Governor didn’t flinch, so either he didn’t consider it a threat, or he’s a slow mover. I’d guess the former.

It’d be like a good old fashioned pie to the face.

Nah, smells more like battery than assault.

Sounds like Maine’s economy is about to go the way of Kansas’ economy. What is Wrong With Maine?
