That'll show 'em

Maine has apparently thrown its hat into the competition for Which State Can Elect the Most Ridiculous Official?, a contest that had until now been led by Minnesota with its reelection of Crazy Michele Bachmann. The statement by their entry is not so much crazy as just fucking stupid:

Maine's governor is telling critics to "kiss my butt" over his decision not to attend the state NAACP's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations this weekend.

...

The NAACP's state director said the group felt it was being neglected by the new governor, a Republican elected in November with tea party support.
When asked by a reporter Friday to respond, LePage said: "Tell them to kiss my butt."

Yep - nothing like being disrespectful to a rights organization on the matter of commemorating a historical figure to burnish your leadership credentials!
