"Jesse gov. backpedal Ventura Ted Kennedy in conservative drag."

That's funny. Okay, I admit it. That does rather describe him.

However, I stand by my remark that he isn't stupid. I just don't like to see any term like that associated with a great group of guys. Saying he's stupid is inferring that the SEALS were stupid to take him in the first place. I'm probably just too sensitive and overacting.

Have a great day. I always like your posts.

According to what I've read, Mr Ventura was NEVER a Navy Seal. He graduated from Navy UDT school back in the late '60's or early '70's, and served some time in the Phillipines afterward.

As I understand it the old UDT School at some point evolved into the BUD's Training we have today. Those graduates are called Navy Seals.

I do however, periodically see Mr Ventura on TV wearing a hat with SEAL emblazoned upon it.
