I like Jesse Ventura’s quote early on, apparently agreed to by Willie Nelson: “Politics is America today is identical to pro wrestling. In front of the cameras and the public we all hate each other. I’m going to kick my opponent’s butt, I’m going to wail him from here to high water and beat the crap of him. Yet behind the scenes we’re all friends going out to dinner and it’s all work, all intermarriage, it’s show biz. And that’s what you have today in politics. The Democrats and Republicans aren’t really opposed to each other.”
I’m not wild about Jesse Ventura, but I find I have to agree with that remark.
