What did they call him, THE BODY or something?We all hoped he would run for vice president, with Ron Paul, or maybe run against Al Franken or something, but famous independent wrestler Jesse Ventura will instead host a teevee show about conspiracy theories. Today is just one big disappointment. [Seattle Times]

Holy Fuck…What am I looking at??????

SuperRounder September 30, 2008 at 2:22 pm

The man just hates credibility. Credibility is a conspiracy to get Jesse to wear a tie and act like he has some fucking sense.

Gopherit v2.0 September 30, 2008 at 2:22 pm

Woo hoo! Jesse Ventura breaking into the Skull and Bones lair!

This may be unrelated, but do you ever walk into the pisser at work and find out Stall #2 had eggs for dinner last night? Oh, and Ventura’s a tard.

They didn’t mention he was a SEAL. Which is actually pretty impressive.

Is it too late for McCain to get that look?

Why does this not surprise me that he’s introducing this on the insipid Donnie Deutsch show?

Okay, if y’all were tortured for 5.5 years, which picture would your captors have to keep at the top of Wonkette FOREVER in order to break you: Palin’s lips (the ones on her face) or Jesse?

AngryBlakGuy September 30, 2008 at 2:36 pm

…and as John McCain’s next stunt: He will now fight Jesse Ventura in a no holds bar steel cage ladder match.

ihasasad September 30, 2008 at 2:37 pm

Oooo! At the top of HufPost there’s a map and the red part kind of looks like a bat with a fucked up wing. Very cool

grendel September 30, 2008 at 2:37 pm

[re=115646]ihasasad[/re]: Oh, the lips, definitely. This one is great and brings joy to the world. The stock market is up today in expectation of this picture.

mattbolt September 30, 2008 at 2:37 pm

Damnit, I was hoping for the day where Jesse would become President, and his entire cabinet would be composed of fellow wrestlers.

Secretary of Justice BIG BOSS MAN! Secretary of Defense SARGEANT SLAUGHTER! Secretary of the Treasury MILLION DOLLAR MAN TED DIBIASE! Secretary of Foreign Affairs THE IRON SHEIK!

He’s looking pretty goddamned Zen there, has he been living on mt fuji for the last few years, like the “old ninja master” character in every kung-fu movie ever made. He is actually the libertarians bailout proposal, just kick everyones ass in sight until it’s over.

AnnieGetYourFun September 30, 2008 at 2:49 pm

Is anyone else a little amused by Dar Williams ads on this site? I don’t know if any of you are hairy-legged lesbians that play her records on your radio show at Smith College, but I’ve long been a fan, and there is something about Dar Williams and her music that doesn’t mesh well with the incredibly snark that we spout here day in and day out.

Not that advertising dollars aren’t good, so I will buy her album through here for sure.

Reality tv seems like the best place for Jesse. Maybe after the election Palin could join the show. Or they could have an ex-governors version of the surreal life. Although I’m having trouble thinking of governors as weird as they are.

He needs to run for president with Rowdy Roddy Piper as his running mate. Good an evil together, just like a true bipartisan solution.

Since when does Jesse Ventura play a Doctor Who villain circa 1977?

TGY September 30, 2008 at 4:05 pm

It’s not entertainment unless he body slams somebody.

Rusty Shackleford September 30, 2008 at 4:28 pm

I’m guessing one of his first assignments for the truTV series will be to find Xanadu, the long lost pleasure palace of Kublai Khan. At least he’s dressed for the part, so he’s got that going for him.

One Yield Regular September 30, 2008 at 4:29 pm

Conspiracy theory show, hunh? Well, I just hope it’s less like “Sightings” and more along the lines of trying to show that George W. Bush is a Chinese plant. In any case, Jesse looks like he’s ready to put the “Manchu” back in “Manchurian Candidate.”

ProfessorJukes September 30, 2008 at 4:39 pm

It’s going to be on TruTV. They used to be CourtTV, but now it’s just kind of ‘crazy shit TV’.

I wonder if he’ll have a guest spot on “Forensic Files” as the bouncer at the crazy biker bar whose DNA has to be separated from that of the real killer.

Don’t ask how they got mixed. Just… don’t. (www.forensicfiles.com)

ReelectTilden September 30, 2008 at 4:40 pm

This is definitely going on my Tivo, if I can figure out where the hell the truTV channel is.

Saturnin September 30, 2008 at 4:40 pm

Jesse for Secretary of State and Whoop-Ass. No need to send in troops any more, just send in Jesse to your Ahmeenajad/ Kim/ Hussein/ Annoying-Surrender-Monkey/ Putin in the face with a folding chair. That wil settle your issue, be it UN non-compliance, supporting terrorism or even speaking French.
