Jessie "The Body" Ventura backs down from Minnesota senate smackdown
James Lileks @ buzz.mnDrat the luck! Jesse wont be running. Only heard a few remarks from his Larry King show, but it brought back all the old memories the same honking voice that sounds like he is trying to push a trombone out his nose, the same rhetorical bafflers, the same swipes at religion. That last one reminds you that Jesse regards himself as a freethinker who values his intellectual integrity hence the 9/11 truther statements but they also reminded one what a crude, graceless man he, er, seems to be sometimes. I remember when he was in the WWF. He had so much more class then. His reasons are varied the usual broadsides against the jackal media and so on but one wishes he could have cited the strains of fundraising, if only so we could have a headline that said he aint got time to plead. Providing people still get a 20-year-old reference to Predator, that is. Personally, I'd like to see Jessie "The Body" and Garrison "Old Scout" Keillor in a steel cage deathmatch to decide who's more bitter and angry. I don't care who wins; I'd just be rooting for mayhem.
