Isn't that what Florida's governor did with the "welfare recipients pee in cups from my wife's lab" law? At least in Oregon governors who do that end up having to resign, Florida re-elects them.

Take note, Tea Party. This is what happens when you elect someone who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing just because he's just like you.

Your wonderful president from the oughts said it best, also applying to the state level: "Being president is hard."

Maybe they should have paid more attention to Yogi Berra during Teabagger Philosophy Class: "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is."

Gad. I live here (in Maine) and a whole bunch of folks (including me) have signed a petition to have the obnoxious, nasty idiot impeached. He just doesn't know/care how the government works in his own state. He is also a Republican - so it goes without saying he's evil, also too. Benghazi!!!

I'll bet you almost anything that Paul LePage has a Billy Big Mouth Bass hanging on the wall of his Governor's office.

He was banking on his good friend Chris Christie picking him for VP.

But.. but... but I understand that he declared that the Legislature can't impeach him because they're just not allowed to, so that seems like checkmate.

More lib lies and weightist claptrap! I thought you people were about tolerance? Just because two men slop at the same trough from time to time, that doesn't mean they're friends. Friendly competitors, maybe, but friends? Not necessarily.
