AUGUSTA — Maine Gov. Paul LePage has ruled out talking to the media – except “respectful and fair” talk radio hosts.

LePage told WVOM-FM on Tuesday that although he doesn’t always like the radio hosts’ questions, he thinks they’re “appropriate.”

The Republican governor says he wants to “move on” almost two weeks after leaving a Democratic lawmaker an obscenity-laden voicemail and saying he wished he could challenge the lawmaker to a duel and point a gun at his forehead.

LePage apologized and blamed the media for fueling the controversy. He then vowed to never speak to the media again.
