Jesse being Jesse

Former Gov. Jesse Ventura is continuing his book-selling tour (but not in Minnesota) and on Monday he appeared on the Sean Hannity program on Fox. Ventura was typical outspoken but also fell into the mistake of discussing the John McCain – Osama bin Laden race for president. Whoops.

Ventura patted himself on the back for talking about the U.S. budget deficit “before the election,” and says the topic never came up in the campaign. He’s wrong, of course, and it came up in the presidential debates.
