Maine’s Governor Paul “Kiss My Butt” LePage Attends MLK Event

Last week, Maine’s new Tea Party governor, Paul LePage, told the NAACP to “kiss my butt” when it invited him to attend an event honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today.
Looks like he might have gotten a crash course over the weekend about just who Dr. King was, and what he stood for, because he ended up going to a breakfast honoring MLK this morning. He even said this:
“Dr. King is someone who spent and ultimately gave his life making sure that people got a fair shake regardless of race. We have come far through the years, but the journey continues to make Dr. King’s dreams a reality,” LePage said. “I urge all Mainers to work as one for a better life for all.”
I wonder if he said it with feeling.
