PORTLAND, Maine — Every week, Bollard publisher and BDN columnist Chris Busby will take a humorous look at Maine politics. This week: Is the lobsterman’s statue too one-sided?.
Previously Chris has investigated voter fraud in Portland, attempted to chat with former Gov. Angus King and taken a stroll through Donald Sussman’s neighborhood.
It’s clear that the “lobster man” is representative of the “the man” and the lobster that he is shucking is the hardworking “average joe”.
What’s next the Paul Bunyan statue?
Yeah, yeah, let’s replace it with a Paul LeBunyan statue. You know-the kind that only shows Canadian loggers, eh? Who needs Maine loggers, anyway, right Paulie? They aren’t even worth meeting with.
Never trust a man with Chaco’s and cargo shorts.
Is this a Joke? Is this true? Better get a hold of Adrian. Governator Paul ” Yo Adrian!” “Yes Paul?” “Adrian, you’d better get a clarification response ready as I’m going to talk about those g__ da__ lobster fishermen with the __ing press today. You know what that means.” “yes Paul, that means you are going to say something stupid again and I’ll once again tell them what you meant to say”…………….. : ( and it’s not a movie : (
And don’t forget to tell them I have crabs, Adrienne.
was that video filmed with a potato?
Looks to be a russet.
is the author of this article one-sided? is the bangor daily news one sided?
just about as much beef as there is to this paper
I do not think the statue is at all good, it is not at all what it should be, like a lobsterman standing up holding a trap or something, as far as I am concerned take the ugly thing away, lobstermen deserve something better than this statue. They do not pick up lobsters like potatoes. If the gov wants it take it gov.
Well, the statue’s in Portland, so the lobsterman is probably performing a lobster rescue.
Is this guy really the “professional” face you want to put on the BDN? I don’t mean any disrespect to the mans work, but, if the BDN is going to get into the whole photo/video journalism thing, don’t you think you’d want your on-camera talent to, I dunno, shave, wear a clean shirt, maybe tuck it in, and get a haircut?
And you (BDN) wonder why you aren’t taken seriously.
Of course it is one sided ……………………. it shows a hard working, SELF thinking, SELF- Employed, Maine lobsterman ……………………………….. UN-like some ………………………
Amateurish videos don’t help professional news organizations
