"Every day of my life, I walk around looking over my shoulder now, wondering who believes that and who doesn't," Ventura said in response to a question from Kyle's lawyer, John Borger.

The Streisand Effect. No one would have ever heard of the book if he had not given it nationwide publicity by filing the lawsuit.

Blame the Obamaconomy.

I thought crossdressers were supposed to have an easier shot at getting hired these days.

"When asked how the book had damaged him, he said job offers dried up after its publication. "I never had to really go out seeking anything until very recently," he said. "Usually, it came to me. But within the last year, they ain't been coming."

Ya', well that happens to all has-beens, Ventura. You think going after Chris Kyle's widow will enhance your resume' and improve your prospects? Don't bother making application to outfits in Texas.

No no, fool. That’s Ventura on the RIGHT. Chyna (on the left) is of dubious gender, but I’ve heard there’s a sex tape with her in it.
