Jesse Ventura: Sarah Palin Is 'A Quitter,' 'Unqualified'

The Huffington Post   |  Nick Wing First Posted: 10-16-10 01:37 AM   |   Updated: 10-16-10 01:49 PM



Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura had harsh words for his fellow former Governor Sarah Palin recently, when he called her an "unqualified" "quitter" who had "screw[ed] the people of Alaska."

Talking to Fancast, the one-time professional wrestler and Independent-turned-conspiracy-theorist said that Sarah Palin was the reason he couldn't get behind the Tea Party movement.

"Anybody that would put Sarah Palin to the top of their list will never get me," Ventura told Fancast about the former vice presidential candidate. "She's a quitter...She quit in the middle of her term. That's the contract you have with the voters."

Ventura was then asked about his opinions about her political career before she decided to resign the governorship last summer:

    "I felt she was completely unqualified. I had more qualifications than she did. I had served as a mayor of a town [Brooklyn Park, Minn.] of 60,000 - hers [Wasilla, Alaska] was 10,000. I had served as governor for two years when everybody wanted me to run for president in 2000, and I said I'm not prepared to be the president. I haven't even completed office as a governor yet. Now, she never completed her office as governor. She didn't even get two years in hardly! And she quit to get money. Jesus, how do people not see that! She saw greener pastures, said, Screw the people of Alaska, and went on to collect.

Though such harsh criticism of Palin would be atypical for most conservatives, Ventura has shown that he's not afraid to go against the grain of his former party.

Ventura vehemently railed against waterboarding in 2009, calling it torture and going as far as to say he would exact the practice on former Vice President Dick Cheney.

He also traded barbs with Sean Hannity on the issue, and claimed that he would get him to say "Barack Obama is the greatest president" given a chance to waterboard him.

The former governor also once called George W. Bush the "worst president in my lifetime," though Ventura's firm belief that 9/11 was an inside job could probably have something to do with that.

The king of the slow talkers.He must be related to John Conyers and whats with the shaking all the time.Go back to wrestling Jesse.Cool hair as well,sorry Hogan already sports that style,come up with your own loser.

[roccoginge]

The only thing you can come up with is to make fun of his looks and obvious medical problem.  He came before Hogan, doesn't like Hogan, and speaks valid points.  He's not afraid to speak what he thinks.  Sarah Palin resigned because of her ethics problems and also to line her pockets.  Ventura is exactly right about political parties.

Ventura is a dunce and a Superstar Billy Graham knockoff[a very very poor one at that].His claim to fame is being a wrestling announcer,not even a wrestler.His points are stupid.He is a CT kook,a very poor governor and a super lib who has proven to be 100% wrong in everything he predicted about Obama.Palin will be around far longer then him and have 10 times the power he has.

If your right about Palin, we're in a sad state.  I'm late, I have to go get witchcraft exorcised from me, by a Kenyan witchdoctor.

Here is my take on Palin v. Obama and why I still prefer Palin to Obama.  Palin loves the country - Obama hates it.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

Billy would curse his own mother if she said something bad about his "hero" palin.

Poor photo shop.But Im not that big a fan of Palin.But I hate Ventura.The guy is a fool.The people I like in politics are Ron Paul,Pat Buchannon,Paul Ryan,Bachman.Palin is fine,but Im no huge fan.

By the way,I only have two heros.One is SABU and the other is Chuck Vogelpohl.

I saw Chuck in Cleveland a couple years ago hanging out with some hookers at a club.

Jesse is more libertarian than liberal.

Very well stated. You know, I dont agree with the tea party about everthing, but overall they are a positive force for this country. And they have made a bigger change than any stupid third party retard. How dare he slam the tea party like that. The tea party has already accomplished more than that the quack Ross Perot ever did. The teaparty did a very intelligent thing. They could have tried to form a third political party, but instead they did it the right way and infiltrated the party they agreed with most (The Republican Party) , and took over atleast a part of it. And for that, I tip my hat off to them.

When he was voted in as Governor, ...he didn't quit halfway through his term.
I'd say that gives him plenty of latitude to comment. I just wish he'd run for President already!

I give Jesse a ton of credit since he was a Navy Seal.  I don't agree with him a lot of stuff, but for being a Seal, damn - that is bad ass.

I give him a ton of credit simply for speaking his mind and telling it like it is. That's very rare in politicians.

Jesse is an attention grabber.  He knew this would get a bunch of coverage.  I have a ton of respect for him in some ways, but in others he's a bit of a blowhard.

Here is the problem - you can't support Obama and bash Palin at the same time with an ounce of credibility.  Everything they trash Palin about can equally be countered by something so obscene or ludicrous about Obama.  And now - it has less and less effect seeing the results of Messiahs' policies.

This is why the bash Palin efforts by obamabots no longer work.

Perhaps he is a bit of a blowhard, ...but you can't deny the fact that he's earned the right to be.
When it comes to ex-governors popping up in the news, ...I'd much rather see Ventura, over a Palin or Spitzer any day of the week.

He is wrong on most issues is a CT nut job and supports Imam Obama.That eliminates him from any serious discussion.Hey,want to compare his book sales or his ratings to Palins?Run for president?He wouldnt get 2% of the vote.

[240 is Back]

Run for president?He wouldnt get 2% of the vote.

ehhhh

you are saying if Ventura was the GOP nominee, obama would get 98% of the vote?

LOL... Ventura would DESTROY obama.  Ventura gave all his campaign speeches from memory - the dude just spoke right to people.  And yes, more ppl here are CTers on some level.  911 stinks like shit, we all know it.  WMD? A big lie to get us in there.  healthcare?  We all know what that is, dont we?

Ventura has the balls to say what the others will not, but they're all thinking it.

he'd whoop obama.  But no, you GOPers go ahead and put up Palin/Scott Brown in 2012, giftwrap another 4 years of obama reign.

[The Showstoppa]

Were the people of Minnesotta even happy with Jesse as governor?
