Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura and his strongly held, sometimes outrageous opinions will soon be back on public display in his new book, "Don't Start the Revolution Without Me."
The book - part Mexico travelogue, part memoir, part screed - details his brushes with famous people; his feelings about his governorship; and hints, teases and jokes about a possible 2008 run for president.
In the book, co-written with author Dick Russell, Ventura says he suggested to then-President Clinton that certain disputed Israeli sites should be blown up to stop the fighting over them; he consulted with then-Vice President Al Gore about a Minnesota abortion debate; and he offered to be Sen. John McCain's running mate in 2000, if the Republican ran as an independent candidate.

I don’t remember that. But he was a radio guy for the Bucs somewhere in between the movies, NFL, steroids, pro-rasslin’, politics etc.
Yup and he was first at the table when it cam time to divvy up the income. The XFL tanked but Jesse still got his guarantee.
Jesse was a one time governor, (not governer, like some paraprofessionals would think) because he only ran for one term. He’s never lost an election, that’s quite a feat! What I find odd, is that the two major parties were more upset losing to a third party candidate, then when they lose to each other. “Self promoting huckster...everything is alway’s “ME! ME! ME!” with him...” “Alway is”, huh?
