Jesse Ventura's Latest Bid for Attention

Ever since this boob went 9/11 Truther he hasn't been taken very seriously, not that his turn as Governor of Minnesota left much of an impression. Now he's a couple of months behind the whole TSA patdown brouhaha and is claiming he's been violated or something.

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura sued the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration on Monday, alleging full-body scans and pat-downs at airport checkpoints violate his right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Ventura is asking a federal judge in Minnesota to issue an injunction ordering officials to stop subjecting him to "warrantless and suspicionless" scans and body searches.

So it's all just designed to save him the inconvenience? How thoughtful of him.

The lawsuit, which also names Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and TSA Administrator John Pistole as defendants, argues the searches are "unwarranted and unreasonable intrusions on Governor Ventura's personal privacy and dignity . and are a justifiable cause for him to be concerned for his personal health and well-being."

According to the lawsuit, Ventura received a hip replacement in 2008, and since then, his titanium implant has set off metal detectors at airport security checkpoints. The lawsuit said that prior to last November officials had used a non-invasive hand-held wand to scan his body as a secondary security measure.

But when Ventura set off the metal detector in November, he was instead subjected to a body pat-down and was not given the option of a scan with a hand-held wand or an exemption for being a frequent traveler, the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit said the pat-down "exposed him to humiliation and degradation through unwanted touching, gripping and rubbing of the intimate areas of his body."

Why anyone would want to rub intimate areas of his body escapes me.

Surprise! O'Reilly Earns Bathtub Boy's 'Worst Person in the World' After the Shrews Melt Down on The View

It comes about midway through this roundup clip of reaction to the Joy Behar/Whoopi Goldberg temper tantrum Thursday. Worth an original post rather than an update to anything from yesterday. The irony of Olberfraud's nonsense is O'Reilly calmly handled himself like a man and resumed the segment with the two dimwits, more than the MSNBC bigot would ever do. Naturally, manly-man Bathtub Boy takes a swipe at one of the ladies from Fox. Stay classy, Keef.

This comes from Newsy, thanks to Stephanie. Worth it if only for the lovely Christina Hartman, I might add.

In case you missed it, after Behar freaked out over O'Reilly correcting noting it was Muslims who attacked us on 9/11, she then proceeded to host 9/11 Truther and blithering idiot Jesse Ventura last night.

Here's the full clip if you can stomach it.

“Lost in that, of course, is that Bill O., without benefit of a script, revealed himself to be just another Fox News bigot, and Islamophobe.

Classy.

Trainwreck: Jesse Ventura and Oliver Stone With Larry King

It's pretty clear Jesse Ventura is suffering from something, be it early Parkinson's or just a result of too many steroids and hits to the head as a wrestler. But something else has seeped into his brain. The man is just a freakshow.

Meanwhile, Oliver Stone is there to promote some hagiography of Oliver Stone. King, as usual, is just clueless.

The only respite of sanity is GOP Congressman Connie Mack.

The delusional Ventura, who demands to be called Governor, says Stone's paean to Hugo Chavez should be mandatory viewing in every high school of America. The man is nuts. When Mack challenges his lunacy, Ventura calls it censorship.

Meanwhile, Stone claims Venezuelan media is more free than ours is, despite all evidence to the contrary and owners of television stations being locked up. King is so out of it he probably has no knowledge of this so why even expect a follow-up?

Best chuckle in the second clip comes about five minutes in when Stone says Obama is ethical and rational. Ventura is impressed by Obama because he can read a TelePrompter. Then it descends into name-calling from Ventura. Classy.

Kilmeade-Ventura Smackdown

Watch former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura lose it during a segment on today's Fox & Friends. Either Ventura has Parkinson's or he's shaking with rage, suffering in the final throes on Bush/Cheney Derangement Syndrome.

Amusingly, Ventura keeps blathering about the law. Hey, Jesse, steroids are also illegal, so does that make you an arch-criminal?

Ventura plays the lame "have you been waterboarded?" card when Kilmeade boxes him in with the facts. Weak, very weak. Another minute and he'd be calling him a chickenhawk.

Finally, what's the deal with that haircut? Dude, you're bald. Clip the rest of that scratch off the back of your head.

Remarkably, 40% Actually Consider Voting for Him

Looks like former amateur comedian and failed radio host Al Franken faces an uphill battle in his absurd quest to become a United States Senator. Granted, considering some of the lowlifes that occupy the Senate, having him as a member might be an improvement.

A new KSTP-TV/Survey USA poll shows Republican Sen. Norm Coleman with a double-digit lead over DFL Senate candidate Al Franken.

Pollsters surveyed 700 Minnesotans last week. They found in a race between Coleman and Franken, Coleman would win 52 percent to 40 percent.

Coleman's campaign says the poll results show Minnesotans are connecting with the Coleman campaign, but that it's anticipating a very close race.

Franken's campaign too is predicting a close race, saying it's seen all sorts of polls saying all sorts of things.

The poll also asked what would happen if former Independence Party Gov. Jesse Ventura entered the Senate race.

It found Coleman would still win with 41 percent, Franken would come in second with 31 percent and Ventura would get 23 percent.

A Rasmussen Reports poll also taken last week showed Coleman and Franken in a statistical dead heat.

It's hard to believe Minnesotans would even contemplate putting Ventura in office again. Even harder to consider a clown like Franken, what with all his recent baggage.

I can imagine the media in Minnesota will encourage Ventura getting in the race in the hope he can fracture the vote enough for Franken to slip in. The DFL should seriously reconsider whether they want such a boob representing them.

Is Franken really the best they can offer?
