Maine Candidate's Cursing Video Hits National News

WGME 13 and their partner station FOX 23 picked up the video of Republican candidate Paul LePage cursing at a press conference that I posted yesterday and followed up with the candidate, getting him to admit that his press outings turned out to be an "absolute disaster."

Strangely, neither WGME nor FOX credit the clip to Down East, although Channel 13 did briefly show the URL of my other, more neglected blog: www.mainepolitics.net.

The story is now making national news and the video has been picked up by the Washington Post, among others.

What is your problem ? At least he is trying to address the real issues facing all of us here in Maine. Can we get a real reporter to stand up, please ? Why not report the real issues, facts and figures ? Why not a column on solutions, presented by the residents of Maine ? Sorry, I forgot that means you would have to work for a living, doesn't it.
