Okay, ex-Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura is going to be a host in a new talk show on MSNBC.

He announced this recently on the The Tonight Show with Johnny... err. Jay Leno.

He said that after he was mayor, he went and got a radio show, and then ran for governor. Now, after he was governor, he's getting a TV show, and...(maybe he'll run for higher office) :D

I like his gun stance... something to the effect that he and others like AR-15s because that is what they used in the military.

And here is another quote when then-governor Ventura was on the Chris Matthews show...

In response to a question by a young college student concerning gun control laws, the 2nd Amendment, and the possible curtailing of hunting activities, the irascible and unpredictable Ventura shook his massive finger at the query and said something very similar to this,

"The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution has nothing at all to do with hunting rights. No, (shaking finger) the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to guarantee that people could keep and bear arms in order that they might prevent unscrupulous governments from becoming too oppressive!"

Anyone here from Minnesota sad that Ventura is not governor? I like what he says when he's on the tube...

The show will never last. Yes, I voted for him and I think that the only outstanding thing he ever did was get elected. If he ran again, there was no way I would vote for him again, and he knew he would loose if he did run again. He was fun at first, but if you had to live with him, well, it became kind of embarassing after awhile. He talked a good talk during the election, but after he got elected he kind of acted like a spoiled kid. I don't miss him one bit, but there are some that really liked him as our governor, so to each their own.

I might actually tune in for his show. I always liked the interviews he gave....

You may not agree w/ him but he is a showman. I bet he'd have some pretty good ratings in the beginning and the substance would have to show up for him to last. I'd give him a shot :cool:

Hope that he does better than Donahue.

Jesse also mentioned that eliminating lawyers from elected positions would be a start at straightening the mess out in DC!

[Frohickey]

Yeah... the lawyer thing.. I agree with that too, and his explanation about lawyers making the laws being a conflict of interest because afterwards, they go back to practicing law!
