A big thanks to our former ‘partner in crime’ for sending this video.  Former wrestling pro/governor of Minnesota weighs in with Larry King on the State of the Nation.  Much of what he says makes sense.  Maybe Jesse isn’t quite the joke many of us thought he was.

5 Thoughts to “When Jesse Ventura Starts Sounding Sensible…BE AFRAID!”

    I heard him talk on Stern yesterday for well over an hour. At times he sounded sensible – like the guy I used to think would be a good President.

    At other times he sounded like a raving maniac, as he has the last few times I heard him talk at length on Stern. He believes the Twin Towers were deliberately exploded from the ground. He believes that the superpowers get together in rooms and set ground rules for war so that they can keep their citizens in a state of panic – kept dropping the name of some guy who wrote a book to that effect.

    I find this film clip fascinating, if you want to see him act like a bully when someone argue with him – comedian Jim Norton had apparently decided not to let Ventura bully him this day – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvKgj_EjUDw

    I remember when he first announced he was running for Governor in MN. I thought “how refreshing, a guy that tells the truth whether the people want to hear it or not!” People can’t stand the lying of politicians, but when a guy comes along who is honest with people, he gets labeled a looney. And in all honesty, he does get a little crack-pot from time to time, but you gotta give the guy credit, he says what he thinks no matter what the reaction. I liked him before, I still like him, and I can’t say I disagree with anything he’s saying (and I was looking for it, too). Suspending Habeus Corpus isn’t exactly new, Abe Lincoln was the greatest sinner of all time in that department, and it wasn’t right then, either. I’d like to hear more about Hawaii’s health care system…funny, we haven’t heard much about that from either side (that makes me even MORE interested). And yeah, the 9/11 thing……whoa.

    As for video clips….well, Jesse Ventura has delivered maybe the best line of all times in any movie.

    Captain…this is NOT the dark screen. Grrrrrrr

    Rick is right. You go along with Jesse thinking he doesn’t sound nuts and then he can turn on a dime and have you thinking, there is the old Jesse we know and love.

    One rational moment is not a ….lifetime of civic responsibility.

    They played that rant on WTOP this morning – it was rather over-the-top if you asked me. I thought I was listening to the British Parliament at first!
