NEW YORK — “I can only judge Fidel by the hour I spent with him,” former Minnesota governor and renowned conspiracy crockpot Jesse Ventura told The Daily Caller in the empty lobby restaurant of his New York City hotel in mid-September.
“And I will tell you this about Fidel. He had the most unique — I will always remember his handshake. Always. And I’ve shaken how many hands? But I will always remember his.”
“He winds up. When he met me he cocks his hand up and he thrusts it down to you,” Ventura explained with palpable excitement in his voice.
“And I’ll tell you what he first said to me. The first thing out of Fidel Castro’s mouth to me, he looked me right in the eye and said, ‘You’re a man of great courage.’”
TheDC’s interview with Ventura was supposed to be about his new book, “DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans: No More Gangs in Government,” but the plurality of the nearly 90 minutes seemed to focus on Cuba. Early in the interview TheDC asked the former Navy SEAL and professional wrestling caricature why he was seemingly more willing to believe Fidel Castro, who was until recently the inhumane dictator of the island nation and who Ventura wrote about meeting in a previous book, than the flawed but open and democratic American government?

and that is about as stupid as you can get
How gay can you be to get so excited over a handshake from a Commie killer?
Jesse is easily impressed.
I remember Jesse from my high school days in the early eighties, he drove a beat up old toyota in north Mpls. We used to walk a couple blocks away to watch him work out at his gym. He was a pro wrestler then.
Jesse wasn’t a Navy SEAL. He was a UDT man.
Jesse Ventura is a man of brain damage.
I am not a doctor, but should this guy get checked much like Football Players are getting via their concerns of head injuries? Another person that I wonder if he didn’t get injured and please hear me on this it is not an excuse for his behavior but I wonder about “O.J” as well....
Obvious brain damage - too many slams down on the mat I guess.
I heard Jesse Ventura interviewed on the Michael Medved show yesterday. The man is a complete moron. Not forgetful, or misinformed, but genuinely stupid.
He believes there is a radar array in Alaska that our government is using to change the weather. I kid you not. Also at Bohemian Grove our leader outwardly worship Baal. He is a kook
In the background I hear Paul Simon singing, “..still crazy after all these years...”.
He says he knows global warming is real because it gets hot when he sits in traffic.
Oh crap! He found Karl Rove's secret weather machine! Now it will have to be moved.
Ventura, between you, your girly-man friend Schwarzenegger, “Off-His-Meds” Mel Gibson, and Danny “the Left-Wing Loon” Glover, more than half the action movies I loved from the 80s are no longer enjoyable.
Jesse "the liar" Ventura was never a Navy SEAL for one day in his lying life.
Nothing wrong with being "just UDT," but in the early 1970s UDTs were UDTs, and SEALs were SEALS, and they were NOT the same thing.
Jesse Ventura is a card carrying moron. I guess he missed out on the 50 or so years of misery Castro has pressed on the Cuban people. But hey, he’s got a great handshake.
Now I know why that SEAL punched Jesse in the face. I’d like to see a do over on that one.
Crazy as a s**t-house rat.
