LePage meets with Democratic rep., then curses him

State Rep. Andrew O’Brien, D-Lincolnville, has been trying for months to engage Gov. Paul LePage on unemployment insurance and the challenges facing the unemployed.....

When Capitol News Service reporter Mal Leary questioned LePage after that closed-door meeting with O’Brien and the three job seekers, however, the governor had a different take.

Asked by Leary what he thought of the meeting and ultimately about O’Brien’s letter, LePage talked for a couple minutes about the politics involved.

“It’s all a big play and I think it’s bullshit,” the governor said, pausing for a minute then adding slowly, “Bull …. shit.”

5. No, thinking of dinner. nt

3. Governor 38%

62% split their vote between the Democrat and the Independent...this is what we end up with.

A real piece of work, this one is.

9. That's how the Koch bros did it...built in the DLC

and disenfranchised Democrats and now we have the Greens and Independents who at one time felt at home in the Democratic party.

4. After reading how many attempts O'Brien made just to talk to the governor with NO response,

it is the governor who is "in a big play". If he's too partisan to talk to his Democratic legislators, he's not fit to be governor.

Notice how he covered his tracks with a press release mentioning that O'Brien "thanked him for his time".

6. But this gov has done so much to help decrease the unemployment numbers.

(sarcasm)

He appointed his daughter, Lauren, to a $41,000 staff position within his administration. After all, she was a recent college grad so she'd need those benefits and a nice starting salary. Good to get her off the streets.

7. Oh, please. Calling a political play bullshit is NOT cursing a Rep.

Seriously, is this supposed to be important political news? Journalism.

It sounds like gossip from a junior high locker rooom, if that.

One shiny thing after another.

8. This is typical low class foul-mouthing from this guy. NOT the first time. What a jerk.

10. LePage sounds like a dick. eom.
