Jesse Ventura on Jay Leno

[Frostbite]

Haha, talk about unconfortable silences, saying how buying a car, oil and fuel encourages terrorists. He also the Vietnam war was based on a lie, that the Iraq war could too... Let's watch the press in the coming week and see how Jesse gets ridiculed, how his brain was damaged from years of rasslin'. Hell, perhaps they'll find child porn on his PC.

Thanks for the note Frostbite. I normally watch Dave so, as a rule, I despise Jay (I think it is a requirement).

I speculated on the “foxhole Republican” thread that Jesse’s show (the rumored MSNBC show, that is) was being intentionally delayed because of Jesse’s dissenting views on the war in Iraq (MSNBC trying to keep up with Fox, and all). I have been unable to get any news on Jesse for some time so I was unable to confirm this. It would appear that my speculation is supported by his apparent criticisms.

Again, thanks for the heads up. I am setting my tivo-like box thingy to record the west coast showing. I look forward to it.

Sadly, Jesse seemed to be most concerned during his last half of his term about making a reputation (aka being a "troll" as we say here) more than being governor. He said some smart things once. Now he's an entertainer, nothing more.

He's always been an entertainer. He had some good political ideas when he ran for office, but hey, a lot of entertainers have political ideas.

I've read his books, and he does have a good head on his shoulders. But at heart, all he really knows how to do is entertain. That, and kill people (ex-SEAL)
