LePage blamed the media of making too much of a slip of the tongue.
Freudian slip, not the ordinary “tongue-tied” kind.

About time they took a stand and made some kind of a statement —

I hope Maine Democrats thank LePage for botching the veto of 19 bills from Democrats that became law against LePage’s intentions, just before they kick his ass out of office. It’s only right.

What took them so effing long?!
Book 'em dano.
Maine = Mississippi with snow thanks to the 1st and 2nd term of Republican Tea Party poster child Paul Lepage.
The Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson LOVE and finance Paul LePage.

Oh please, let’s stop this talk about impeachment…whether on the part of Republicans or Democrats. The best impeachment is to vote when election time rolls around. I agree that LePage is an embarrassment. He’ll dig his own grave.

Most GOP governors are interchangeable. Styles vary, but they all have the bottom line thug mentality.
I don’t think impeachment is automatically a bad thing in every instance, but given that the Senate in Maine is controlled by the Republicans, going through with it seems like an exercise in futility.
LePage is such an obvious embarrassing buffoon and Mike Michaud is so dramatically more qualified to be governor that I believe Michaud’s sexual orientation had to have played a decisive role in his defeat, along with preening jackass Eliot Cutler.
I’d bet that support for Trump and Cruz is extremely high among LePage supporters. Basically they’re rural brownshirts, just like Snotty Walker’s fans in rural Wisconsin.

Because the vote was split three ways LePage was elected with 40-something percent of the vote, not a majority, if memory serves, no Googling involved, so he started out fraudulently and the legislature should go with this. Sure, he’s a hateful offensive SOB but I learned this the other day. He was one of 18 children with an abusive father, ran away from home at age 11, doesn’t make him any more likeable but maybe made him the bitter SOB he is today.

We’ll be the judge of that.
It’s well-known that the Sage of the North Country has looked to that great frontier orator Gabby Johnson as a model for communicating with the public. And, so, one of Gabby’s most eloquent speeches seems particularly appropriate to this moment: “I was born here, and I was raised here. And dad gummit I’m gonna die here. And no sidewindin’, bushwackin’, hornswogglin’ cracker croaker is gonna roll away my biscuit cutter.”
