BDN Editorial Staff, Mind-Readers
How do I know they can read minds? Behold:
Paul LePage probably is fond of the cliche, “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.” We can infer as much from his first State of the State address Tuesday night.Yes, you read that correctly. The governor is, you know, 'probably' fond of that saying. Of course they can't be sure of that, but they're going to write an entire editorial on his State of the State speech based on that assumption because he used the word 'outraged' a few times and stuff. So, you know, he's almost definitely fond of that particular cliche.
And stuff.
For the record, the governor used that word exactly twice. I counted.
Then, there's this - the BDN fact-checks the speech.
Here's the weird thing. I checked two newspaper archive databases with the search terms "Baldacci state of state fact check" and got no results back from either search. It's almost as though they're treating the Republican governor differently than the Democrat. Funny, that.
