Former Maine governor LePage is now a busy bartender as he ponders his political future

BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Maine — Two days a week, 12 hours a shift, the waterfront bar at McSeagull’s is tended by an amiable 71-year-old who pours 200 drinks a day and poses for dozens of pictures with beaming patrons who sometimes drive for hours to chat him up and watch him work.

It’s just a job to keep him busy in retirement, the bartender says. A part-time diversion from caring for the dogs. But slinging drinks in Boothbay Harbor might be something more: an improbable prelude to another stormy chapter in a polarizing and pugnacious political career.

The man holding court behind the horseshoe bar is Paul LePage, the former two-term Republican governor of Maine who once proudly proclaimed he was “Donald Trump before Donald Trump." Now, nearly two years out of office, LePage is weighing another run for governor in 2022.

From his no-hiding perch behind the bar, LePage appears to be serving as a one-man exploratory committee.

Not wearing a mask...

1. A much more useful career choice

Just think how many people he could have killed as guv.

2. He is in a bar with a bunch of mask less people

and one dude with his nose hanging out.

3. The patrons look nice. I wonder if they are single?

Other that the goober that doesn't breath through his nose (Ie mask no-no) behind the bar with the fascist - BMI('s (a faulty calculation but...) are staggering high. Nice arm back tats too. Sweet. Try a few Mic Ultras...or water.

Wait! Does the dude behind LeFascist have a clear face shield on???? Fuck me man. Maybe I am wrong about that low IQ bar.
