jesse ventura writes a book

here's summary

Former Minnesota governor, professional wrestler, and Navy SEAL Jesse Ventura visits with his latest book, Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! Ventura pulls no punches in discussing our corrupt two-party system, the disastrous war in Iraq, and what he suspects really happened on September 11. He provides personal insights into the Clinton and Bush presidencies, and elaborates on the ways in which third parties are rendered impotent by the country's two dominant parties. He reveals the illegal role of the CIA in states like Minnesota, sensitive and up-to-date information on the Blackwater security firm, the story of the American spies who shadowed him on a trade mission to Cuba, and what Fidel Castro told him about who really assassinated President John F. Kennedy.

He has some valid points. When he was Governor of Minnesota he was asked by a single mom why Minnesota wasn't going to give out more aid to her and he bluntly told her it wasn't Minnesota's fault that she got knocked up and the bum ran out on her. Everyone went ballistic and he stood his ground. On the conspiracy side he is a die-hard conspiracy buff and his politics are left leaning center. He has also told the body politic that he isn't some kind of rebel but now he doesn't want the revolution to start without him. Go figure!

i thought he was trying to be more of a “less govt” guy

the bookstore’s bio says that the people of minn wanted “change” so they voted for jesse

and “change” is what they got

i suppose they wrote this to tie into the “messiah’s” message of change, who knows

Ventura is Democrat without admitting it. In his book he supported the sales tax, in Governorship he had a surplus and only cut the sales tax and income tax by (1/2)% each, when he could have completely eliminated the income tax.

Ventura claims to be a fiscal conservative and a social liberal, wrong on both accounts, example above for Ventura’s fiscal liberalism, and example for social conservative: he once told a college student to take responsibility for their own situation.

the bookstore says he is the “master of reinvention” and has risen to the top in 4 arenas: navy seal (kudos for that), wrestling entertainment (don’t like wrestling), a politician (? other than gov), and as an actor (am i missing something here?)

At the state fair this week Ventura(hidden D-Mn, former Governor), got rude with the media telling a young female reporter she was going to pay, referring to the way the press had previously ‘gone after’ his children, according to a radio talk show host that was describing his rudeness to the reporter who seemed patient and respectful as she waited to interview him.

Ventura also reportedly shoved the camera man with her.

“maybe there will be a chapter on bigfoot”

Ventura and some other upper Midwest politicans make Hubert H. Humphrey genuinely look like Winston Churchill in perspective. Jessie should take up residence in Vermmont with the other loons.

Well, when you get to the bookstore, he shouldn't be too hard to pick out....he's the one standing at the podium; not the dude in back who looks like Casey Anthony's bail bondsman....

Think he was the Mayor of Mound Mn, a suburb of the Twin Cities, and he was in a movie with an Alien. Obama’s Reverend Wright was in the Marines and has since lost it too
