Jesse Ventura is Correct?
/
I could never do the math on Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Did he say one smart thing for every dumb thing? Two to one? One to two? But in this clip he fares very well, by my count. His opinions and my verdicts:
1. George Bush is the worst president in his lifetime.
Check
2. Guantanamo is our own Hanoi Hilton.
Check
3. People involved in torture should be prosecuted.
Check
4. Waterboarding doesn't yield good intelligence (or Dick Cheney carried out the Sharon Tate murders).
Check (or check)
5. Legalizing Marijuana is equivalent to ending prohibition in terms of reducing crime.
Check (and I don't even smoke pot or wear hemp, though I'd like my books published on hemp paper)
6. Al Franken should win the Minnesota senate seat and the feds shouldn't weigh in because states should make that choice.
Check
7. Dick Cheney is a coward.
Check
8. Colin Powell is a hero. Rush Limbaugh ain't.
Check and check
9. We should end the embargo on Cuba.
Check
10. Surfing is a religion.
Okay, well...
11. The Miss California flap is a waste of time.
Check
12. Marriage shouldn't even be a government issue, and government should only recognize civil unions.
Check and a big Amen!
13. Jesse Ventura is a poet.
Certainly not. Ouch.
14. If torture really worked we'd have Bin Laden.
Well, that doesn't necessarily follow...
15. Torture doesn't work.
No argument here.
Okay, so he's 13 for 15, counting the two-for-one. Not shabby. I'm still not sure I'd vote for the guy, but if we ever need a replacement for Joe Biden, Obama could do worse.
Enjoy:
