Oh he was a lot worse that many out there. He is a despicable Human being.
Jesse was a liberal who was interested mostly in legislation (license tab fee reductions, et al.) that benefited him. He was about the only governor who refused to sign a National Day of Prayer proclamation, haughtily opining, "Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business."
He's now distinguishing himself by saying 911 was an inside job: "Two planes struck two buildings... but how is it that a third building fell 5 hours later? How could this building just implode into its own footprint 5 hours later - that's my first question - the 9/11 Commission didn't even devote one page to that in their big volume of investigation... In my opinion, there is no doubt that that building was brought down with demolition."[
