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.

That’s too funny... I thought the same exact thing.

[machogirl]

wonder if anyone has called him on it yet

didn’t pay too much attention, but i thought he kind of faded away

[machogirl]

i can’t imagine what that timeshare place was thinking, putting her on the commercials, yuck

[machogirl]

I'm not sure how Jesse's name was added to this page if it is legitimate.
After he became governor it was revealed he was a Navy diver, not a SEAL and had been stationed exclusively in the Philippines, not VN. Jesse did not challenge this.

Small point...I believe he was UDT, (Underwater Demolition Team), not a Navy diver. Different stuff.

In the old days, you trained for UDT, then went into SEAL team training if you were good enough. Lots of guys were UDT and never moved on to SEALs. If I recall, you had to re-enlist to even begin to qualify for SEALs. I qualified for UDT and lasted 8-weeks before having to drop due to an injury...this was in 1965. SEALs were GODs to us lowly Tadpoles.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Correct. Jesse was UDT. Not a SEAL and not in Viet Nam.

"Ventura pulls no punches in discussing our corrupt two-party system,
so corrupt politicians would NEVER enter a third party?
the disastrous war in Iraq,
The US Military defeated the Iraqi army with lighting speed. The only disastrous war in Iraq was the war Saddam fought
and what he suspects really happened on September 11."
ooooohhh one of THOSE kooks that that believes it was a conspiracy, and he wrote a book to tell everyone what REALLY happened.

[machogirl]

amazing that a wwf wrestler can uncover the biggest conspiracies, heck, he has more experience than obama

[Yankee]

He’s a 9/11 conspiracy nut too.

The guy is a major league a-hole.

Congrats to the losers in Minnihaha that made this clown their governor.

Good jobe there.

I think he’s coming here on the 10th. Perfect for his insider 911 theory.
