Jesse Ventura joins kick-off of Occupy MN

[Ganja Ninja]

Ventura announced yesterday on his official Facebook page that he would be making an appearance at the plaza. He did not disappoint, arriving in a baseball cap and windbreaker, silver mullet blowing majestically in the wind. He said he heard about the event from his son and decided he had to come down.

"This is a movement that I think needs to happen," he boomed to event organizers. "It's a movement that can't be highjacked by the Democratic or the Republican party, which will happen. They will try to."

He went on to offer his services as the new face of Occupy MN, saying he's the only politician who didn't take PAC or corporate money during his successful 1998 gubernatorial campaign.

1. Does he still have man crush on Ron Paul?

2. Oy, talk about coopting the movement

What a joke. Jesse Ventura, who doesn't believe the government "should keep your money." Pfeh.

When everyone wants in on this, it will become meaningless.

3. Figureheads will be shouted down, such as yesterday when NYC expulsed Geraldo Rivera.

4. Fuck him

5. No kidding. He's a narcissitic pig.

Anyone who lived in MN under his "reign" knows exactly who Jesse is concerned about: HIMSELF.

But doesn't mind the "media jackals" now?
