OK, but our Editrix has unwittingly stumbled on to one of LePage's chief excuses when he engages in verbal inderpitude- he claims to have spoken only French until well into his teens (even needing a different entrance exam to get into college) so in the past when he's been caught in-flagrante-douche he's fallen back on "Well, I didn't speak much English growing up, so cut me some slack." This, of course, from the same asshole who says the things he said above.
Yep- and the 38% are concentrated in dying mill towns whose lily-white inhabitants have never amounted to anything, never will, and are furious at a world that no longer needs anything they could imagine providing. That's a tough judgement to be sure, but I speak as someone who survived growing up in one of these hell-holes and well do I know the ignorant, impotent fury of those left behind in them. But as LePage's TWO gubernatorial wins show, I would not recommend anyone discount their willingness and ability to elect someone just like them- and somehow Trump has convinced a significant number of these idiots that he's their guy...
When Ms. Rebecca referenced the ESL thing that was an invitation for us to go to the Wikipedia learn that the esteemed governor failed his first pass at the SAT because he was still learning English. No really, he grew up in the French language.
Yeah, I was so hoping that it was Richard when I went to Wikipedia and when the page loaded it was. First time LePage has come through on something good.
Did anyone check to see if Paul LePage's middle name is Rick?
He's just vying for Yam-hole's VP slot.
Google Translate recognizes it as Afrikaans, but fails to provide a translation. :-(
If there isn't an "app" for it we can't be bothered. Don't you know how important we are?

After all, what is the point of starvation wages if no one starves?
Y'ever notice how those who most stridently insist everyone 'speek English!!1!', communicate in tongues that appear to bear no relationship to it?
What the actual fuck???? People tip on Amazon? What?
I could just FEEL my brain cells crying out in despair as I listened to that.
I was in error--I should have said sociopath instead of brain damaged
It's Richard, so close enough.

That's fucking hilarious.

Still, he speaks fluent gibberish now.
Certain people bring joy and glad tidings where ever they go. LePage need not worry about being one of those people.
