Maine Failed Democrat U.S. Senate Candidate Janet Mills Going Shopping At Reny’s To Dry Her Tears

Outgoing Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who threw in the towel Thursday on her U.S. Senate dream, is looking for a sale on, aptly, towels.

To wit, Janet said in her withdrawal statement she’s going to Renyโ€™s.

โ€œWhile I am suspending active campaigning, I look forward to seeing you at a Renyโ€™s,โ€ Mills posted on her social-media campaign account.

As a way of giving thanks to Janet’s tossing in the towel after throwing everything but the kitchen sink at her cash-strapped campaign, Reny’s is offering a special โ€œBye Bye Janetโ€ kitchen-towel sale!

For $7.99, shoppers who meet the long faced governor at a Reny’s store will get โ€œThe Kay Dee Designsยฎ Woodland Moose Terry Towel, with its classic buffalo check & moose design.โ€

Janet is happy that the moose towel, as promoted by Reny’s, โ€œwill compliment any lodge-themed kitchen.

โ€œFast drying, plain terry loop backside for absorbency and quick drying 100% cotton. Size: 16″ x 26″ Machine wash and dry.โ€

After she gets done at the discount towel table, Janet told her ex-followers she will be going fishing โ€œat a trout pond in western Maine,โ€ according to her resignation statement.

โ€œI love you, and I will continue to fight relentlessly for you as your governor,โ€ she said before checking Reny’s bargain bins.

โ€œFor the next eight months, I will continue working hard for you.โ€

And drying her tears with her new Woodland Moose Terry Kitchen Towel from Reny’s.

Good riddance Janet Mills! Don’t feel the need to stick around the next 8 months, we won’t cry if you leave now.

Gee sure hope she doesn’t fall out of that row boat when she is fishing for trout. At least the new dish towels – CRYING TOWELS will come in handy for cleaning out the old gin bottles under the seats of that state SUV.

I was going to register as a Democrat just to vote against her. Now Platner has eliminated her. So I can let the Dems sink themselves and vote for Collins in November. She has consistently fought for ALL Mainers and Americans. She has brought BILLIONS of important contracts and grants into Maine

I wonder if Renyโ€™s will wait for months (possibly years) for payment from Mills for her purchases the way 2nd District healthcare providers had to wait for MaineCare to pay its bills?!
