Maine Gov. Paul LePage on Friday said he'd like to blow up the Portland Press Herald building.

LePage made the remark while participating in a fighter jet simulation at Pratt & Whitney, a defense contractor in North Berwick. When asked by a simulator what he'd like to do, LePage said, "I want to find the Press Herald building and blow it up," according to video posted by the Bangor Daily News.

... Adrienne Bennett, the governor's spokeswoman, said in an email that LePage was clearly joking and was responding to a question from the simulator who asked the governor if he'd like to blow up anything.

... On at least two occasions, he has told students that his biggest fear is newspapers and he also once said buying a copy of a newspaper is like paying someone to lie to you.

6. What a great joke, Paul! Fantastic delivery! Here, I wrote you some other lines to use:

"I'd like to fly a plane into a sky scraper"

"I'd like to blow up a federal building"

"I'd like to gas millions of people I consider inferior"

If you like those, I've got some other ideas for you, too, including jokes about the President

Maybe your sense of humor will catch on! I'm sure you'll laugh a lot if folk joke about dangling you from a lamp post

7. Remember When Sarah Idiot-acuda Put Bullseyes on Congressmen and Women?

And the fake shock and outrage that someone actually shot one? Ask Gabby Giffords how funny these fucking douchebags are. Some militia-loving Limbaugh-listening sicko will think he's doing the governor a favor. What an asshole.
