Maine Politicians Take a Break from Governing to Have Vaseline Fight
LatestA town hall held by Maine Governor Paul LePage ended a little early after an enraged former mayor tossed a jar of Vaseline at him. Nothing could make me happier than the preceding sentence. Literally nothing could be funnier than politicians throwing Vaseline at other politicians. This is pretty much direct confirmation that God is real.
Local news station WGME reports that Governor LePage and former Biddeford mayor Joanne Twomey — she’ll be the lady in the green blazer in the video below — got into a shouting match during the Q&A portion of a Thursday town hall. The two were having an exchange about LePage’s tax plan — he plans to cut various taxes for the wealthiest Mainers, including the income and estate taxes, while at the same time allowing municipalities to tax nonprofit organizations.
