Jesse Ventura vs. Michele Bachmann

Jesse Ventura appeared on Good Morning America this morning for a typically loopy segment with George Stephanopoulos to promote his new book. They talked about how funny Chris Rock is, Michele Bachmann’s presidential prospects, and, of course, whether or not the US government orchestrated the deaths of thousands of Americans on 9/11. Stephanopoulos also asked Ventura if he had any White House aspirations. Ventura said he’d consider a Vice Presidential run but only as an Independent since everyone else is part of the problem.
The 9/11 talk was fun and included such notable quotes as the Nazi comparison from our headline. However, at this point, Jesse Ventura talking conspiracies is about as rare as Richard Simmons talking exercise, so lets focus on the Vice President stuff. Stephanopoulos brought up the question after airing an old clip of Ventura on The Young and the Restless (you laugh but can you honestly say it’s a less respected show than, say, Celebrity Apprentice?) in which Ventura’s character talks about running for president in 2004.
in case you missed it we’ve posted the video of Jesse Ventura’s interview with ABC’s Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos. An interview where Ventura claimed he’d run as Vice President with Ron Paul if Ron Paul ran as an Independent. No word yet from Ron Paul who hasn’t declared he’s running for President if he’d consider Ventura as his running mate. Even so, the thought of a Ron Paul-Jesse Ventura ticket would and should scare the bejesus out of certain circles including the Federal Reserve, the Dept. of Defense, defense contractors, FEMA, and the CIA.
