The Press Herald reports that at a recent news conference at the Blaine House, Gov. LePage whined again about how the Legislature isn’t doing enough, and how the press just cares about sound bites instead of focusing on the facts.
LePage has said in the past that buying a daily paper in Maine is “like paying someone to lie to you.”
At least he acknowledges that by telling President Obama to “go to hell”, by calling protesters “idiots”, and by saying that the only side effect he knows about to a harmful chemical in plastic bottles might be for women to get “little beards”, he sure sells newspapers. Add the taking down of the labor mural to the first 100 days of the administration and it’s not hard to understand why Gov. LePage hasn’t yet done anything beneficial for the state of Maine.
Gov. LePage also complained last week that state Democrats — whom he called the “loyal opposition” — are slowing down his attempts to pass legislation. Tisk, tisk.
All this hand-wringing by the governor is because after his first 100 days in office, no one in Augusta could really come up with anything much that he has accomplished so far.
So instead of crying in his news conference that everyone was against him, why doesn’t the governor get down to work and start doing the hard job necessary to get a consensus on both sides so that things can get accomplished? That might work a whole lot better that bawling in a news conference that everyone is against him.
Hasn’t Gov. LePage ever seen the Godfather? Come on, Governor, act like a man.
