Maine Gov. Paul LePage Calls Students Idiots & Leaves During Speech

[SpankMe]

Maine Gov. Paul LePage is apologizing and vowing to cut back on public appearances after clashing with two student protesters Tuesday at the University of Maine's Farmington campus and them "idiots."

"For more than five years, the media has flocked to events where I have been asked to speak, not to cover any good news about the events, but to disparage me over issues totally unrelated to the events," LePage said. "Since I am such a distraction to the media, I will no longer attend some of these public events."

"The press takes seven seconds of what I say, and make a s---show out of it," said LePage. "I'm tired of it.

No, governor. The shit show is of your own making.

The man is a spineless pussy. He's a clueless, incompetent, corrupt, total asshole who blames the media for all his own shortcomings. All the students did was hold up signs in the rear of the event. They didn't interrupt or otherwise distract from the event.

4. If you were to look up the phrase "horse's ass" in the dictionary...

You would see Paul LePage's picture. Although that would be an insult to horse's asses.
