Baldacci and LePage share luncheon

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine Gov.-elect Paul LePage says Gov. John Baldacci has agreed to attend the Republican's inauguration next month.

In a brief interview after Cabinet announcements Wednesday, LePage said the outgoing Democratic governor had invited him to a Blaine House luncheon earlier in the day. He said the two didn't discuss politics or governing much, but talked more about the history of the governor's mansion and their families.

LePage also said he asked Baldacci, a Democrat, to break with tradition and attend his inauguration in early January and Baldacci accepted. LePage also said Baldacci's "offered to do anything he can" to make the transition easier and has been very cordial.

One and the Same

Why does it seem that "Conservamom" is actually "Momof4"? Guess because she is.

Republicans Just Prefer Failure

Apparently "Mom of 4" (her job title I guess) likes the good old days when Bush was taking Clinton's surplus and digging America to its worst fiscal point since the Great Depression. Some people prefer their fetish for the Republican party over any level of failure produced by it. Republican: Ignorant. Clueless. Worthless.

MomOf4 is a job that no man

MomOf4 is a job that no man could EVER do. She wears her title proudly, as she should.

ConservaMom is right no man

ConservaMom is right no man could be a Momof4, he would be a Fatherof4. Both jobs are tough.

Well I Bet...

That was one long lunch!!!...Educating the Governor Elect on the history of the Blaine House and the families that have lived there...I would think the Governor Elect would already know this right?....But I've always been wrong when it's come to the Governor Elect so why would I think he would know all this. Governor Baldacci probably had a terrible night sleeping after this luncheon. I'm just a lame duck here and I know a lot about the Blaine House and so do my kids...Maybe the Governor Elect should have a team of children educating him through his first few months there....This is laughable at best...And why wouldn't Governor Baldacci accept his invitation to the inauguration?...He'll have a front row seat to this fiasco....and Governor Baldacci offering to do anything he can to make the transition as easier as possible?....He knows we are the laughing stock of the United States...He just wants to make sure none of this rubs off on him...

Maine: The Mississippi of the North!

That's $10K less in yearly income earned by a family of four in Mississippi as compared to Maine! We're going to see Real Republican Prosperity under LePage and Republicans, just like they have seen for decades in Mississippi!

Welcome to Maine: Republicanland

Did LePage wear a big bib and spill the soup? I'd be surprised if he didn't. Spilling things is what Republican buffoons do after all. Next up, spill Maine's "budget" into the laps the wealthy boosters who will, in the end, turn Maine into Mississippi! Remember kiddos, that "red state" has an average yearly income for a family of four that is $10 less than Mainers make! Welcome to Maine: REPUBLICANLAND!
