Gov. Paul LePage apologizes for obscene language in voicemail
Source: Sun Journal
AUGUSTA Gov. Paul LePage is apologizing to "the people of Maine" for leaving a vulgar voicemail for a Democratic legislator and says he was using a metaphor when he said he wished he could challenge the lawmaker to a duel and point his gun "right between his eyes."
LePage said in a written statement Friday that he takes it "very seriously" when someone calls him a racist and that it made him "enormously angry" when he heard from a reporter that Rep. Drew Gattine, D-Westbrook, had called him one.
LePage says being called a racist is "the absolute worst, most vile thing you can call a person." So he says he referred to Gattine as a vulgar name involving oral sex because it was the "worst word" he could think of.
The governor then held a news conference Friday in Augusta where he again defended himself for leaving the vulgar voicemail on Gattine's phone.

and then he further tries to justify himself.
He says his brain didn't keep up with his mouth, that's all.
