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.”

Is this the same guy who, with similar experience as Palin, last week said he would run for President in 2012?
Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura,....
I like the sound of that!
Be quiet you loser.
What was your experience before running a state?
Fermented horse urine is probably worth more than Jesse's opinion on the matter.
What, does the media interview EVERY LOSER ON EARTH, until they find some sexist pig to bad mouth Palin?
Wouldn't that be for the voters to decide in November? A lot of nerve to speak for voters from a guy who doesn't even live in the country half the year.
Which is very little if nothing. Jesse is now a truther who is going to join Ron Paul and his merry band of conspiracy theorist.
Jesse, how popular were you again? What did you accomplish for your state? How’d that re-election turn out for you?
Apperently, you’ve got time to bleed...
What, does the media interview EVERY LOSER ON EARTH, until they find some sexist pig to bad mouth Palin?
But the O-man being MIA in the Senate is o-kay.
Jessie's taken too many hits.
Steroid abuse continues to take its toll on Jesse......
Sarah is more experienced that McCain and Obama combined.
Jesse Ventura is one bad joke told too many times.

Pro wrestler and actor. LMAO!
He is a KOOKBALL 911 truther. Need I say more. Of course the media will put it PAGE ONE BREAKING ALERT!!!
Maybe we should get the opinions of Sgt Slaughter, The Rock, and Stone Cold Steve Austin before we make up our mind?
Just dang!
