Ventura: "Palin Would Never Make It As A Navy SEAL" (VIDEO)

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura called Sarah Palin a "quitter" on CNN's Larry King Live last night.

"She is a quitter. Let me put it to you this way, Larry, by not being sexist -- she could never make it as a frogman or a Navy SEAL."

Ventura, a former Navy SEAL himself, was governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003. Before that, he was a professional wrestler.

During the CNN interview, Ventura dismissed the suggestion that as yet unknown facts might provide a valid explanation for Palin's resignation.

"I don't think she was put under any more media scrutiny than I was ... My children were attacked in Minnesota," he said. "Everything I did was put under the microscope. The point is, Larry, you don't quit. When you make an obligation and you take an oath, doesn't it mean anything anymore?"

If Palin ever runs for higher office, Ventura said, she certainly won't get his vote.

"I would never vote for her, because if it gets too hot in the kitchen, she's liable to quit."
