UPDATE: Maine Gov. Paul LePage held a press conference on Wednesday in which he blamed a reporter for the profanity-laced voicemail he left for a Democratic colleague, and vowed to never speak to the press again.
“I will no longer speak to the press ever again after today,” LePage said. “And I’m serious. Everything will be put in writing. I am tired of being caught — the gotcha moments.”

Paul LePage, the Republican governor of Maine, is an unusual character, even for a politician. Before Donald Trump entered the arena, LePage was the guy who kept getting into trouble for opening his mouth and “telling it like it is.”
For example, LePage once called for bringing back the guillotine, and “joked” about blowing up the headquarters of the Portland Press Herald. He’s also come under fire for claiming to keep a “three-ringed binder” of all the drug dealers arrested in Maine, of which he says more than 90 percent are black and Hispanic.
The governor’s most recent outburst, in which he called a Democratic colleague a “cocksucker” in a profanity-laced voicemail, may have been his last. LePage, who has endorsed Donald Trump, said Tuesday that he was thinking about resigning from the office he has held since 2011.
Or was he?
Regardless of how much longer LePage decides to stick around, he will be remembered for his unique personality.
