Jesse Ventura Tells Larry King That He Is Not Running For Senate In Minnesota (VIDEO)

Watch Ventura's announcement:

Thank god, and thank you Ventura for adding to the soap opera that is politics.

[tgood]

Adding the motormouth Ventura to the idiotic political mess we have running this country is the last thing we need. Between his rantings and Obama's preaching, the sale of earplugs would skyrocket. I recommend buying stock .

Who cares. Franken is DOOMED!! Coleman will pound him like a tent peg.

[MNmommy]

Thank Goodness.

I'm gonna hold my breath until 5 though because you just never know what Jesse the attention seeking Ego might do.

'CCO just announced that if JV doesn't run, his former minion, Dean Barkley is going to announce HIS candidacy. It just keeps getting better. Is DB sitting on JV's ventriloquist's knee?

[Ariadne]

I think his wife said no.

[WIpatriot]

Gotta keep open that possible VP slot....

[Imzadi]

Oh Gawd.... (LMAO)

[GQTaste]

How is this breaking news? And I didn't really know that Jessie the body was intending to run for Senate. But

[huffnpuffn]

I like Jesse. He's got the right attitude about politics. Hard to tell who is more of a clown out of the two mainstream candidates.

[JohnFromCensornati]

Clown = wRong Paul (R-TX)

[MNmommy]

Clown.

[hillaryj]

Soooooooooooo, does anyone care????

[MNmommy]

We care here in Minnesota! I want Franken to win, and I think he would have been more of a drain on Franken than Coleman because of his anti-war stance.

Actually, all progressives should care, this is a seat that the Democrats can take away from the Republicants.

[Imzadi]

Well said!

[EddieMcWords]

He doesn't have time to bleed, so needless to say a Senate run is probably out of the question.

[rudiy]

I may not agree with Jesse on many levels and am not sure he would be a good Senator, I do agree on his opinion of GW and Iraq.

[Stillanidiot]

Whaddaya know?
There is a god.

[OhComeOnNow]

Whew - We dodged that bullet!!!

[ohiomark]

This nut has had his head slammed to the mat one too many times.

[JohnFromCensornati]

I've been a registered Dem for 30 years, but I'm through with them.
Al Franken is the only one I'd like to vote for this year, but I don't live in MN.

[huffnpuffn]

Perhaps you could found a party for misanthropes and killjoys?

[JohnFromCensornati]

That's a good one (coming from a Republican).
If I want that, I'll join you and RuPaul.

[arvay]

Good, one clown down, just Nader out their fouling up our prospects. And GO Ron Paul, Bob Barr!

[JohnFromCensornati]

wRong Paul (R-TX) is the leader of the clown brigade.
Barr thinks that blo jobz are high crimes.
