Jesse Ventura To Run for Senate

Politcal Punch ^ | 7-9-08 | Jake Tapper

[Impy]

Will split the moonbat vote with Franken.

[Impy]

This helps Coleman.

[Patrick1]

This dooms Franken. The thing about “The Body” is if he wins he will quit two months into the term.

[Obadiah]

Are there any normal people in Minnesota??

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Now there are two clowns running against Coleman. Should be interesting.

[Right Cal Gal]

Great minds think alike - that was the first thought that came to mind.

[Long Island Pete]

Who says politics isnt a circus?

[black_diamond]

Norm Al?

[Impy]

[tina07]

I think ole Jesse hit his head a few times too many, loon!

[z3n]

Yes, maybe Jesse can tell the senate how all his frogman buddies would have dealt with the issues.

[Piquaboy]

I heard that they were going to fence Minnesota in and declare it a national zoo.

[Izzy Dunne]

you decide: if you were in a dark alley which one of the three of us would you want with you?

Because that is exactly why we need Senators - for those times when we are caught in a dark alley and nobody is there but our Senator.

My Senators are Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe.

I can't tell you how many times I've been caught in a dark alley with one or the other of them.

[GraniteStateConservative]

All Coleman has to do to win now is pander to the social conservatives in Minnesota hard.

[Brilliant]

“if you were in a dark alley which one of the three of us would you want with you?”

i.e. would you rather be mugged by Coleman, beaten up by Ventura, or solicited by Franken?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Or at least the sane people in Minnesota, provided there are any left.

[Steely Tom]

I love listening to his weird, steroid-deepened voice.

[AmericanExceptionalist]

All you Minnesotans take a good hard look at all three of us. And you decide: if you were in a dark alley which one of the three of us would you want with you?

Since Ventura is an ex-wrestler, I would probably choose to have him by my side "in a dark alley." But precisely what does that have to do with one's being qualified for the Senate, or possessing desirable policy views?

Major non sequitur.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Okay Minnesota... you’re taking the washed-up celebrity worship thing a tad too far here.
