| Jesse Ventura endorses Kerry |
| 2004-10-22 |
| Jesse 'The Body' gone bonkers! Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura has officially endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. The announcement was made during a 30-minute news conference at the State Office Building. The former Minnesota Governor was there, but did not make any comments. Just days ago, Ventura had said that he did not plan to support Kerry or President Bush this election year. Also at the news conference was former Maine Gov. Angus King, who was the only other third-party governor during Ventura's years in office. He said Ventura changed his mind and decided to endorse Kerry. Organizers didn't even know Ventura was going to show up until the news conference started. He told reporters who followed him out to his car afterward that he'll be doing interviews in Los Angeles. |

| #17 No harm in fantasizing a more perfect world. Of course, when the next civil war breaks out, it won't necassary to skulk. GC |

| #16 Okay, enough with the silliness, heh. This little adventure in interactive fiction probably has Fibbies shorting out keyboards with their drool from coast to coast! Lol! I'm too old for the Bond stuff, of course, poison umbrellas et al, but it was fun playing the role for a day! See you in the funny papers, GC! |

| #15 No Dakota Longbow (nice!) but I'm real proficient with my Win Model 70 Featherweight in .308. The org should be structured as a non-profit Political Education entity focusing on conservative values. The *ahem* "Direct Action Unit" would have to be VERY secret and undercover. Obviously. Preferably the DAU would not engage in high profile hits, this only scares the sheep. Instead, the Individuals of Interest that are selected should just vanish or have an accident or sudden health problem. Stroke, heart attack etc. Under no circumstance would any sort of announcement be made. The frequent and regular dissapearance & demise of prominent moonbats would strike fear into their hearts.

| #14 ST6666 - I'm in. Had to clobber my cookie for anonymity. I'm bored and I'm an excellent sniper. Got a Dakota Longbow laying around? |

| #13 Must be the only way Ventura can get in front of a camera these days. He had his 15 minutes of fame and can't accept that it's over. DF. |

| #12 Is there any interest in funding an organization that engages in doing clandestine wetwork? It seems to me that ultimately it will be necassary to cull the ranks of the institutional moonbats. Institutional Moonbats: Democrat Polititions, Celebs, Activist Judges, Media Personalities, EFL, AFL and others. I volenteer (sp?) to be the first WWT...(wet work tech). GC5991 |

| #11 Having watched Jesse for years here in Minnesota, this comes as no surprise. He has always been a liberal and you should know that most surprised person when he was elected gov was Jesse. |

| #10 CA - I saw a documentary-ish movie about him - and, that was what I got from it: his wife was very cool and level-headed, while he came off as a showman / blowhard / zipperhead. |

| #9 What happened to him? Too many hits to the heads, perhaps? |

| #8 As a Minnesotan, I can tell you that Jesse is the biggest blow hard on earth. There is not a conservative bone in his body (no pun intended). This is a guy who even his closest friends try to avoid, he is pro legalization of drugs and prostitution. The only thing good about the guy is his wife. |

| #7 Apparently the SEALS consider him one, by defination. The AuthentiSEAL site discusses that question and in these sorts of cases, it's best to defer to them I think. Link below. http://www.authentiseal.org/jesse.htm |

| #6 Umm, is this the sort of endorsement that Kerry really would want, given how hoi-polloi he is? |

| #5 FYI, no proof Ventura was ever a seal - he was UDT likely, but not a full SEAL. And he seems to have lost what little mind he has left lately - either that or he just wanted some more headlines. |

| #4 Did feather-boa man end his governor's stint with a very low popularity rating? If so, doesn't this hurt Kerry more than help? |

| #3 Looks like all those piledrivers he took are starting to have an effect... |
