Former governor of Minnesota and ex-WWF wrestler Jesse Ventura has retreated from public life and lives 'off the grid' on the Baja, devoted to losing weight through surfing. I last saw him on the Larry King Show promoting his new book and he responded to the TV commentator'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.
"Now the USA has opened an embassy in Havanna.
I nominated Jesse Ventura as 1st US ambassador to Cuba since Philip Bonsal.
Ambassador Ventura.
Has a nice ring to it.
