Jesse Ventura Speaks Out

Jesse Ventura has retreated from public life for most of the year. He lives 'off the grid' on the Baja, devoted to losing weight through surfing. He was recently on the Larry King Show promoting his new book. His response to Larry King's query about Dick Cheney saying 'waterboarding wasn't torture' was quick.

“You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I’ll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.”

Jesse Ventura had been subjected to 'waterboarding' as a Navy Seal trainee.

"Damned if it did any good."

Jesse also suggested the legalization of marijuana and normalization of relations with Cuba. The more he speaks, the more he makes sense. And this is coming from a man who wore boa feathers into the wrestling ring.

Jesse Ventura - 1st US ambassador to Cuba since Philip Bonsal.

Has a nice ring to it.
