From the New York Daily News: Maine’s often-brash Republican governor — who once told the Portland branch of the NAACP to “kiss my butt,” called protesters “idiots,” referred to government managers as “corrupt” and compared the IRS to the Gestapo — has done it again.
But this time critics say he’s gone too far.
Gov. Paul LePage 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.
The remarks, made to journalists from two television stations and one newspaper, were targeted at state Sen. Troy Jackson, an assistant Democratic Leader who criticized the governor’s veto announcement and call for 60-day reprieve to negotiate a new budget as a political stunt. Jackson said that the Legislature had enough votes to override the veto and that there was no need for lawmakers to negotiate with LePage.
LePage said Jackson “claims to be for the people, but he’s the first one to give it to the people without providing Vaseline.”

He later added: “Dammit, that comment is not politically correct, but we got to understand who this man is.
“This man is a bad person,” LePage continued. “He doesn’t only have no brains. He has a black heart and so does the leadership upstairs.”
WMTW reporter Paul Merrill told him others might find the Vaseline remark offensive.
“Good,” LePage replied. “It ought to, because I’ve been taking it for two years.”
Seriously, the libs are upset about that comment?
To them, I say, "Grow a pair".
Or is that too offensive.
Want to piss off the liberals:
A GOP presidential ticket of Scott Walker and Paul LePage.
The hell with Chris Christie.
