Jesse Ventura


Maybe he just misses the thrill of the wrestling ring, but Governor Ventura sure is grouchy these days. Days after Sen. Paul Wellstone died tragically in a plane crash, Ventura was stomping around, complaining to anyone who'd listen about the way the late Senator's sons chose to commemorate their father. Now the Governor is boycotting the Senate race altogether, whining about his Independent Party candidate, who's pulled single-digit poll numbers, being excluded from the Senate debate. The system, he gripes, doesn't work. You mean the very same system that got him elected? You don't say.

Who deserves next week's parting shot?
