[napi21]

1. Ohhh, ya gotta love Jesse! I know he was always considered an

oddball, but he's the most straight talking Dem I know! I wish I could have heard his response to the Limpball question. I saw him laughing, and I laughed at that joke too! I think it's about time somebody gave Rush some of the treatment he's been giving everybody else for years!

[Reform]

2. Even if you dont agree

with all he has to say at least he tells yeah how he honestly feels, and i respect the hell outta that
He is an Independent though Napi21, not a Dem :C

[ecstatic]

4. Independent who sides with the Reform party

Which I believe is the same party Pat Buchanan is in :crazy:

[napi21]

7. Jesse is the complete opposite of Pat! I don't know who or what

Jesse sides with...if anybody but himself. I just love it that he's completely honest with his answers, and isn't afraid of anyone! You sure would never hear HIM appologize to an AH like Rush or anyone else! He tells you what he thinks, and he won't back down because some nithead slams him.

I don't know that I agree with him all the time, but I respect him and his honesty. I desperately wish we had a lot more people in politics like him!

[Turborama]

15. I agree

His honesty is very refreshing and I love the way he doesn't suffer fools gladly.


:kick: & R

[Mnpaul]

50. I agree

While I may not agree with him on every issue, I appreciate the fact that Jesse will tell you where he stands. No politically correct answers, just straight talk. He is not afraid to call 'em as he sees them.

[curiousdemo]

48. They say, "Birds of a feather, flock together"

Cheney, a notorious draft dodging chicken-hawk, supporting another draft dodging chicken-hawk jr.

[ecstatic]

3. He still has that wrestler's accent

that I can't get past. His views seem pretty reasonable though.

[Liberal_Christian]

6. PRETTY reasonable? I'd say spot on.

-prosecute Cheney administration
-someone who has been Waterboarded that says it IS torture
-torture is NEVER justifiable and rarely leads to authentic intel
-weaken mexican drug cartels by legalizing marijuana

The guy kind of gives off a conservative he-man vibe at first, which through me off at first, but when he opens his mouth you quickly realize he's pretty intelligent.

[Enthusiast]

16. Refreshing to hear

someone with a reasonable point of view express themselves on CNN.

[progressoid]

31. Yah, ya know, there's a bit of Minasotan in the there too ya know.

[Enrique]

43. you betcha ;-) n/t

[Liberal_Christian]

5. Talk about a REAL american.

Jesse Ventura is the type of patriotic American Conservatives masquerade as.

[calmblueocean]

8. What a trip! This one's a "must watch".

Jesse sure talks a great game. I wish we had a few more Democrats out there who could speak the truth with the same kind of gusto.

[slay]

9. WOW! Very impressive. You tell um Jesse!

Man will say how he feels and backs it up with WHY! Who could ask for more? :applause:

[npk]

10. Best explanation of waterboarding/torture I have ever heard

He's credible because he experienced it first hand. I have never heard it described in that manner. You best believe that if Jesse Ventura says something is torture, it is.

[AlexDeLarge]

22. As we used to say in the service

"Fuckin' A". When someone like Jesse, who's experienced waterboarding firsthand, says it's torture, IT IS TORTURE!

[Joe the Liberal]

11. I actually saw this earlier today...........

Jesse is a pretty interesting guy to say the least. I just wish that the first 45 minutes of Larry King wasn't about that stupid "Miss California anti-gay" nonsense. I would have liked to have heard more of what Ventura had to say.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. yes. I would have liked to have heard more Bush/Cheney trashing. Especially

his thoughts on them lying us into Iraq

[MrSlayer]

12. Ventura rules.

He just tells it the way it is. A very interesting person.

[DeltaLitProf]

13. Great character and commentator

Terrible, terrible governor.

[pjt7]

14. Ventura is great

.

[Enthusiast]

17. K&R Especially like his

perspective on Cuba. Continuing with the embargo and this restriction is just ridiculous. Of course powerful forces won't accept normalized relations until they are allowed to open THEIR cassino's again. The exploiters want free rein to do what they have done to the U.S.A.

[LittleGirl]

18. Nailed it

And Larry wanted to stop his bashing of Bush...and Jesse wouldn't let up. Way to go Jesse! That's patriotism I can believe in.

edit: typo

[ejpoeta]

19. you know what i just realized about the wanda sykes thing....

on the boob tube, they never show the part before the line where he may be the 20th hijacker... if they played the WHOLE thing, the joke makes sense. she wasn't saying anything about 911 per say... in the entire statement, she is saying that the statements made by limbaugh aren't any different than those made by bin laden, therefore he could have been involved! that makes more sense. but they never play the part before that one line.

[butterfly77]

49. and they always act like....

if you say anything about 911 in anyway,that you are somehow saying something against the people who lost their lives..Will anyone ever be able to say anything that relates to 911?

[LatteLibertine]

20. I'm glad he pointed out Dick's

five deferments from the draft. Cheney is indeed a hypocrite, a chicken hawk and a coward. I really can't believe Dick was the Secretary of Defense from 1989 to 1993. I am so thankful Bush and Dick are out.

[AlexDeLarge]

23. And also his calling out of Norm Coleman.

I wasn't sure how he viewed that election, until he said he always thought of Norm as a hypocrite. Beautifully and simply summarized by his statement about Norm's quote about how Al should concede the election beacuse he was behind then later not conceding since he is behind.

[Cha]

57. Perfect!

norm hypocricy coleman.

[niceypoo]

21. The older he gets the more he looks like Bozo the clown...

...with his makeup washed off.

[lib2DaBone]

24. Jessee is right on everything.....

Larry King can't be as stupid as he acts? Can he?

Larry tried to shut up Jessie on Bush. Larry has slective hearing and reasoning... only hears what the Far Right wants him to hear... what a putz...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. Wonderful! What's the deal with Larry? Did you hear him tell Jesse

to knock it off when he criticized Bush?

Geez, Larry

[riverwalker]

26. Incredible!

Jesse, you are the man.

And Harold Ford, after yesterday, you are DEAD to me. Fucking torture monger.

[cooolandrew]

28. Good interview. n/t

[Habibi]

29. "Would you like my poetry?"

:rofl:

[valerief]

32. That cracked me up, too! nt

[Twillig]

46. Kinda reminded me of the movie "Dead Man."

"Do you know my poetry?"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFACGX5k2Ic
Beware of poets.

[ihavenobias]

30. K & R n/t

[florida08]

33. hope you guys watched part 2

best example I've heard that torture doesn't work..we haven't gotten OBL.

[DinahMoeHum]

35. Re Carrie Prejean (Miss California) "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING"

When I heard those words last night, I shot both my fists to the sky and screamed, "THANK YOU!!!"

:thumbsup:

[florida08]

38. LOL

just had that same feeling :fistbump:

[Raster]

34. good ol' Larry, king of the bush* bootlickers.

[Hubert Flottz]

36. K&R

I loved it! He told Larry the toad the truth and Larry couldn't stand it. In your face CNN...I loved it!

[FourScore]

37. I love that guy. JV is so smart, but then out of the blue he'll say something so stupid.

I'm no fan of Dick Cheney, but people who understand how to use weapons DO sometimes make mistakes. On the other hand, he's so right-on about waterboarding or relations with Cuba.

Great interview. K&R

[Zambero]

39. Telling it like it is

I hope Obama keeps Jesse in mind for that ambassadorship.

[qb]

40. Best quote: "You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour,

and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders."

http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/senate/44783427.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUac8HEaDiaMDCinchO7DU

[Enrique]

45. if Cheney confessed to that, I'd believe him

I could see a young Dick Cheney egging Manson on.

[JenniferJuniper]

51. Seriously, does any one know where Cheney was in early August of 1969?

We know where he wasn't.....

[CrispyQ]

41. k&r

I caught this last night, by chance. There was more truth in the Ventura segment than I've seen on CNN in forever! I like when relic Larry is uncomfortable with what his guests are saying. And nobody shuts up Jesse!

I'm off to enjoy it a second time! Highly recommended! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[90-percent]

42. Who does Jesse serve?

Jesse appears to be in the service of no one, except for the principals of the Founding Fathers and his country that he went to that horrible Viet Nam War to serve.

And these days it's almost impossible to get such people within the bubble that is corporate MSM.

"What bothers you more; murder or marijuana?"

EXCELLENT POINT!

Nice to have some discourse in America that isn't based on BULLSHIT!

Here I go shopping this vid around again.

I'm trying to make it go viral and need a few million of you to assist with that!

[jonestonesusa]

47. K & R! Excellent Interview.

I was in Minnesota when Jesse Ventura was running against Skip Humphrey (Hubert Humphrey the III) and Norm Coleman. A question came up about public schools. After the other two gave their non answers, Ventura said something like, "I send my children to public school. What about you two?" Complete silence from Humphrey and Coleman.

I did not vote for Ventura, I voted Green that year, but Ventura won my respect.

Another situation: a bill requiring 24 hour waiting periods for abortion went to the Governor's desk, a "compromise" bill that the Democratic leadership did not go all out against. Ventura said that if you require a 24-hour waiting period for all elective surgery, he'll sign the bill. But not a special bill targeted against one kind of elective surgery - abortion.

Way more guts and sense than the milk toast Democrats who let that bill go through.

[kenfrequed]

53. Yup

I supported Ken Pentel that year as well.

[Love Bug]

52. This Minnesotan has mixed feeling about Jesse

He's not the worst governor we've ever had. In fact, I'd take him over our current one in a heartbeat.

Jesse has no filter between his brain and his mouth and has sometimes said some pretty insensitive things. However, I can't argue with anything he said here.

[mdmc]

54. yup..

:toast:

[mzmolly]

62. As does this one. But I will say,

I always find him interesting.

"I can't argue with anything he said here." Ditto. :hi:

[Love Bug]

65. So true -- Jesse is certainly NOT boring

I can't forgive him for the petulant tantrum he threw after the Wellstone memorial which caused him to send Dean Barkley to the Senate instead of a Dem, like he had promised. But that's vintage Jesse -- everything's all about him. In spite of that, I'd still rather he were Governor instead of Pawlenty.

At least his libertarian views are consistent. With him, you know what you are getting.

[mzmolly]

66. "I can't forgive him for the petulant tantrum he threw after the Wellstone memorial..."

Very true. I had momentarilly forgotten about that. I never cared for him as Gov. but I agree he beats Pawlenty. Indeed, we know what we're getting with Jesse, and it's at least half entertainment. ;)

[20score]

55. I wish we had more like him in power.

[The Wizard]

56. I once saw Larry without makeup

And I've seen cadavers with better color.

[Fendius]

58. Very impressed..

I followed little bits of Jesse when he ran and was Governor, but never was aware of what i am now, and that being said, he continues to impress me and leave me hope that there are truly "good" people out there..

[Jack Rabbit]

59. "Give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and an hour . . . "

K/R

[Dinger]

60. Best Part Of The Interview To Me

K & R!

[davidpdx]

61. I happened to see this as well

Turned on Larry King Cadaver when he was talking about the Miss California thing and left it on. I agree with others, Ventura was way more interesting.

[bertman]

63. Larry King almost shit when Jesse started in on Dubya. But Jesse shut the butthole up

toots sweet. King surely knew he couldn't control an interview with Jesse, but it still messed him up when Jesse started saying what everyone already knows about Bush and Dickless.

"I live in Mexico and I read a lot. I don't watch much tv." Then he proceeds to skin Bush and Cheney alive. YOU GOT TO LOVE JESSE!!!! He's a gift. President Obama and the Democrats should find a way to take advantage of that but you know they're scared to death of what he'd say on other topics.

Jesse's "Don't Start the Revolution Without Me" is a decent read. Not an epic but very interesting for how "normal" the guy is in the sense that he sees things like everyday people and not like a Fortune 500 CEO or a bought-and-sold Washington politician.

I would love to have heard the conversation between Cheney and the CEO of CNN when Cheney got word of that interview.

Jesse was right about the SEALs at jump school Those guys were great. We ran in formation doing the airborne shuffle and they ran circles (literally) around our formations. One morning when we got to the training fields we saw a SEAL class banner strung up at the top of the 250-foot jump towers. We loved it and we loved having those guys around. Even if they made us look like pikers.

[pacalo]

64. I love this man!

K & R ! ! !

[GoneOffShore]

67. Why is Larry King still on the air? Someone tell me please?

He is such a worthless tool.
