The guy sounds like a loon on these talk shows. Maybe Barney Frank could give him a run for his money in the crazy department.

Those guys are amateurs. Bob Dornan could give them a clinic.
I heard Jesse announcing a Minnesota Vikings pre-season game in about 1991. He was so intense sounding and into the game, It was like he was reporting about an invasion of a foreign country. I had no interest in the game but couldn't turn the dial.
He is definitely at the top of the list for crazy politicians.

This guy, Billy Yow, is the epitome of stupid redneck. Not because he is a republican, but because he is a stupid redneck. He sells shirts - AT county commissioner meetings - with that little kid peeing on something. You've seen them on NASCAR fan's cars peeing on #3 or #8 or whatever. Well, the shirt he sells is the kid peeing on.....wait for it.....NAACP. yep. that ranks up ther.e
Jesse Ventura is a stupid liberal hack! He got owned by Hannity the other night!
When Ventura is debating Hannity, he is only the second craziest person in the room
Yeah, everyone except Dems and Repubs are loons....yet it is the Repubs who have sunk this Free Republic into a welfare state for greedy rich and the Dems for the lazy poor. The people who actually work and pay taxes are the ones who get screwed.
It's you dumb/stupid folks who is crazy.
Had you not been stupid so as to cast your votes for me, I, Jess V. would not have been in politics at all.

Why don't these honest, hardworking Americans run for office then? Or are they too lazy and self-centered to do so?
"Bunch of slack-jawed f**gots around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."
Yeah, I loved that part where Ventura got Hannity to say the country was better off after Bush's term than before. Yeah, he got owned.
He sure is crazy for saying that people who break the law should go to jail. Whew, what a loon.
What do you expect from the state with the loon as one of its icons?
He took the S. Palin track, but was more famous to begin with... mayor of Brooklyn Park (a Minneapolis 'burb); he followed the "not your same old career politician" script (adding the "and I'll kick *^% and take names" flair). He won the Minnesota governorship in '98 because of weak/split Democrat and Republican candidates (and his name recognition).
Luckily Minnesota in 1999-2002 was in a wonderful period of a great economy and thus ran a surplus. Even with a divided, bickering House and Senate we could condone the Governor's absences for TV appearances (XFL commentating gig, remember?), "trade missions," and evading things when they got tough. He smartly decided not to run for a second term, slipping out in a thick Teflon suit.
But one thing I will credit the Ventura administration is his willingness to try nonstandard things... his state agency commisioner appointments were often different just for the sake of being different, but they didn't spell doom and, in some cases, actually worked out reasonably.
His current audacious, inflammatory "I told you so" appearances fit him to a T.
Running for office requires $$$.

I listened to Hannity's radio show 5/18 when Ventura was a guest, on that show Hannity was the fool. They were speaking on the legalisation of marijuana and Hannity came off like a fool.
Also, Hannity (your pet?) described Ventura as Libertarian, I know it can sound the same as liberal, but they are quite different.
frednorris, if you think Ventura got "owned" by Hannity ....who apparently doesn't even know when 9/11 occurred...then you really have lost all perspective.
As long as Michelle Bachmann is around, Minnesota will have a politician crazier than Ventura.
After watching a couple videos she's in, I see your point. And I'm pretty darn conservative.
I second the Michelle Bachmann sentiment...that lady is the biggest whackjob in congress.
