Color me skeptical, but on what grounds would the gov of MN be given access to any govt information that didn’t directly involve the state of MN?

Beyond that, just how much information regarding the security of MN would the federal govt have in the first place?

Chris Mathews presently enjoys 500,000. I’m surprised he’s on the air. His Bozo leg humping is embarrassing.

Ed, why do we care about Mr. Ventura, except as an illustration that we need intelligence and civics tests for voters?

Yeah, Jesse, their whole damn news department’s against the war but they only fired YOU for it.

Here’s a clue, JACK, they fired you because you’re a sideshow freak turned Troofer!

This is what too many chair shots to the head does to ya, folks.

MSNBC canceled Phil Donahue’s talkshow after an internal memo (leaked to the All Your TV website, 2/25/03) argued that he would be a “difficult public face for NBC in a time of war…. He seems to delight in presenting guests who are anti-war, anti-Bush and skeptical of the administration’s motives.” The report warned that the Donahue show could be “a home for the liberal anti-war agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity.”

Sounds like he pushed the envelope at times, but wasn’t that always the pro-wrestler style to be larger than life? Perhaps a bad habit, but nowhere near, for instance, Kerry’s level of deceit.

Jim Janos volunteered for Naval Special Warfare in wartime. To what unit he was assigned and where he went was totally out of his control at the E-4 level. He volunteered, he did not dodge the draft like Bill Clinton. He volunteered, he did throw away his medals at a demonstration and then badmouth all Vietvets like John Kerry.

Whatever his faults he volunteered, was accepted, and served.

He completed BUD/S, went to jump school, and served in Westpac with UDT-11.

In 1983 all Underwater Demolition Teams became SEAL Teams. You must listen very carefully. I’ve been told he says, “I was in what is now called ‘the SEALS’” which is technically — very technically — correct.

Limpet6, Apparently you seriously missed the “attention to detail” part or your incredibly gullible.

Limp, that’s a hint.

In Naval Special Warfare parlance, serving “in the Teams” means having served in either a SEAL Team or an Underwater Demolition Team. Jim Janos graduated with BUD/S class 58 in 1970.

In 1970, you volunteered to serve “in the Teams.” You did not chose to be a SEAL or a UDT, the choice was made for you. My recollection was Jim went to UDT 11 (not twelve) as was placed in the SDV (swimmer delivery vehicle platoon). Rarely did any enlisted operator (“operator”= BUD/S graduate) work in his rate. His rate was indeed SK or storekeeper. I knew a SEAL operator who was a yeoman (clerk/typist) who wore a Navy Cross and couldn’t type a word until he’d made two deployments to RVN.

In 1983 all Underwater Demolition Teams became SEAL Teams. You must listen very carefully. I’ve been told he says, “I was in what is now called ‘the SEALS’” which is technically — very technically — correct.

Jesse Ventura didn’t he used to be a wrestler on TV?

Jesse Ventura knows how to implode a building. I know personally that he set charges on an underwater obstacle. He, I, and about 48 other guys did so in 1970. We would have laughed if he said he was going to be a professional wrestler, let alone a governor. Who knew?

For as long as I’ve known him he’s always enjoyed thinking outside the box and being a bit of an iconoclast. I enjoy watching him, but rarely agree with him. Sometimes disagreement makes for good entertainment.

I can’t imagine MSNBC canning him for being anti-Bush. I can imagine there being a problem with him being anti-Iraq War because I suspect he was supposed to bring in the demographic that supported the war.

What I object to is someone using the whole “You can’t criticize me, I’m a veteran” argument whenever they are being called out on their stupidity.

You want blindly follow this moron? Go ahead.

You gotta admit, we all loved “HE HATE ME!” ROFL!

Only fitting that the state with over 10,000 flakes would have voted this dim-bulb in for 4 years.
Can’t even blame ACORN for that one! Don’t Yah Know!
