Jesse Ventura endorses Kerry

Jesse Ventura has endorsed the one who is not an idiot.

(But he still looks like a doofus)

1. Unfortunately, Ventura (scuse me, James Janos) IS an idiot

he looks like a deranged homeless person.

believe me, I had to cover him as a newsie.
He's a willfully ignorant bully.
Oh, add money-grubbing.

And by the way, nobody ATTACKED HIS KIDS!
some in the press had the temerity to suggest his son's having 'animal house' style parties in the governor's mansion was a bad idea.

He is just full of shit.

It probably would have been more helpful if he had endorsed Bush.
His childish tantrum today was probably out of jealousy since he knows he'll never get elected to anything again.

2. I am a little surprised by this.

He seemed kind of socially conservative. Or on par with Arnold almost.

3. He protected womens choice while in office. Actually very liberal

socially. More conservative fiscally. His attitude is what defined his administration unfortunately. He wouldn't talk during the press conference because he hates our press. But an expert said his endorsement might push some undecided independents to Kerry, and saw it as good.

5. Still gets off on the tough guy way out there act. Very good at drawing

attention to himself when he is ignored for too long.

8. I did like many things he did in office. Not with budget though. He really

blew it with his demeanor. The press does suck, but you gotta deal with it! Also he was quick to change things he just didn't like for instance the car tabs lost us a bunch, and the watercraft one. Forget what they're called. Water skidoo things.
