Blustery Bald Man Bellows Truth
Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura was on Larry King last night, and, well, he said some wacky things, like he always does. Some of those things are not necessarily incorrect, though. For instance, he thinks waterboarding is torture.
"It's drowning," he said. "It gives you the complete sensation that you are drowning." Ventura said he knows because he was subjected to waterboarding as part of his military training. "I'll put it to you this way: You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders."
He also takes some good shots at Norm Coleman! Or if you prefer to watch it on the newfangled Internet video thing the kids are talking about these days, that'd be here.
Later, Ventura added: "If you give me a waterboard and five minutes with Craig T. Nelson, he'll be calling me 'Coach'."
He's the only former Governor who ever willingly confessed to being a client of Dennis Hoff's Bunny Ranch. Though — this being America — I'd wager he's not the only one..
Is that a mullet or a bald man's ponytail?
It was definitely a mullet.
Looks aside, though, the man has a lot of interesting things to say. His thoughts on Cuba were also well-formed, but as a Canadian, I'm sort of hoping the travel ban isn't lifted. It's one of the few places on earth that you can travel to without fear of having to look at overweight Yanks in flag-emblazoned windbreakers, invariably sporting fanny packs.
I'm an American and I proudly travel overseas with a Canadian flag patch sewn onto my oversized backpack.
I'm an American and I travel abroad proudly knowing that I bear none of the cloying earnestness nor the boring sameness of the beaver-hat wearing Canuck.
But you are fat, yes?
I'm American, aren't I? A = B, B = C; A = C
It's called a "skullet".
Bless you for refraining from the obligatory pro-wrestling pun. It is refreshing to this pencil-necked geek right here.
Needs more boa.

That pink feather boa taught me that I was straight.
Many thanks from this milk-dud munching, gerbil-faced twit.
"You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour." Or as I call it Dear Santa,
Can we get this man an AM radio platform?
Jesse Ventura is such a trailblazer he's found a way to make torture hilarious.
And just like that, Michelle Bachmann becomes the sole title-holder of "Most Embarassing Minnesotan".
He looks like a roidmonster version of Biden in that still. Also, "Sharon tate murders"? Nice reference, Governor Sherman-Paladino.
not all seals have the good qualites of Mr. Rogers
