Jesse Ventura: Palin is Too Inexperienced
Newsmax ^ | 9/8/08 | Dave Patten

Posted on 09/08/2008 2:48:32 PM PDT by pissant

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, who flirted with running for president as an independent, tells Newsmax that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is too inexperienced to serve as vice president.

“Now here she is, after not even having been there for two years, she’s now going to be the VP!?” asked the 57-year-old actor and former pro wrestler.

“I can tell you, after two years of being governor, you still don’t always fully understand being governor. And now she’s going to be a heartbeat away from a man who already had cancer, and he’s 73 years old.

“I mean, realistically, John McCain could drop dead a week into office. She would then be the top person in the world. Is she prepared for that? I don’t believe so, having been a governor. After not even serving two years as governor, I was not prepared to be president.”

Ventura also took Palin to task for not completing her term as Alaska’s governor.

“I believe in finishing the job you originally got elected to,” he tells Newsmax. “Sarah Palin owes the state of Alaska two more years of being its governor. That was the agreement she made with voters.”

The former Navy SEAL commando added, “That’s like joining the Navy, and deciding after two years you’d rather be a real estate person, so you’ll quit the Navy. Well, it doesn’t quite work that way, does it? And that’s how I feel about it. I feel Sarah Palin owes two years yet to her home state serving as governor before she serves as the vice president. She should have turned it down, in my opinion. She’s not ready for it.”

ROFL, this STUPID F$%K was the mayor of friggin’ Brooklyn Park, which is the armpit (or one of the armpits) of the Twin Cities. Jesse “The Anus” Ventura has very little room to criticize ANYBODY else.

Mr Ventura, thanks for your services both in the military and government.

Now sit down, buckle up and STFU already.

Jessie, while I appreciate and respect your prior service as a SEAL, your opinion about Sarah Palin is ignorant and unwanted. Dig a fighting hole and stay there - PLEASE...

Now, here Obama is, after being a senator for only 187 days, he's going to run for president?

Jesse Ventura has had his brains bashed too many times to ever be able to utter a coherent sentence! I’ll stay with Sarah Palin, she is still quantum leaps ahead of Osama Obama Character Departments!
May GOD BLESS SARAH PALIN AND JOHN McCAIN and MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS OUR AMERICA and SAVE US FROM OBAMA and HIS CANCEROUS AGENDA and ASSOCIATES! :-)

Hey Jesse why don’t you go back to Mexico and pretend to wrestle something and take that other He-Man, Schwarzenegger with you.

Putz.
