Maine’s outspoken governor, who’s clashed repeatedly with state legislators, says he’s worried that the partisanship has gone too far. In Washington, at least.

Republican Gov. Paul LePage told WEZR-FM that he’s worried about the anger that he saw firsthand this week during a visit to Washington, D.C. He said both Republicans and Democrats were disrespectful and said it was beyond "anything that I ever expected."

LePage himself has built a reputation on shaking up Maine’s collegial political world.

He threatened to withhold funding to a school that hired a political foe, accused another Democrat of having a "dark heart" and said he wouldn’t be afraid to tell former President Barack Obama to "go to hell."

2. Hypocrite of the first order

Guy left a vile threatening message on a state rep's answering machine, calls DC disrespectful. Time to turn the page on LePage.
