While promoting his new show "Off the Grid" Jesse Ventura labels "American Sniper" Chris Kyle a liar, and pokes Sarah Palin with a sharp wit.

Courtesy of the Examiner:  

To open his show on Feb. 3, Ventura simply asks, "What do you get when you combine delusion, performance art, and a desperate need to remain relevant?" The former governor gives a quick response, "Sarah "the quitter" Palin, of course." 

The beef between Ventura and Palin started when Palin attacked Ventura over his recent lawsuit against the estate of Chris Kyle. Claiming in his book to have knocked Ventura out, the former Minnesota governor sued Kyle and the book company for slander and defamation. After the jury found that there was not enough credible evidence to back Kyle's claims, Ventura cleared his name and was awarded $1.8 million. Following the jury's decision, Palin defended Kyle, who she says is a hero, and criticized Ventura, calling him a "jacka**" for suing a "military widow and her fatherless children." 

When asked if he thought Kyle was a hero, Ventura didn't hold back. "My definition of a hero; a hero has to have honor. Unfortunately if you are a liar, you can't have honor," Ventura said. 

"I'll be blunt. Chris Kyle is a liar and I proved it in court. And so there for, he can't have honor, so it disqualifies him from being a hero." 

"Sarah Palin hinted at a 2016 run, trashed Michael Moore, and took aim at Hilary Clinton," Ventura points out, but questions what her motives really are. The former pro wrestler and actor noted that if Palin was to run and win the presidency in 2016, it would be important who her vice president was. Ventura brought up that Palin only served a half a term as governor of Alaska, after media scrutiny took a toll on her and her family.

I am not always a fan of Ventura's but I have to say that he is certainly in the catbird seat these days. 

With all of the controversy surrounding Chris Kyle Ventura is the one person who can say that he proved that the man was a liar in a court of law.

And as for Palin well by taking on Ventura she was clearly punching above her weight class again.

And that line about the importance of Palin's running mate if she were to run for President?

That line is gold.

    I read a lot of negative comments about Ventura's lawsuit. Some claimed he was going after a war widow. After reading more about the lawsuit (filed before Kyle's death) I believe Ventura is right and I am glad he won. Kyle lied was told not to name Ventura in his book, so he just did it in a promotional interview instead. The false story became popular and helped his book sales. What Kyle and his publishers did to Ventura was outrageous. So glad justice was served.

      Ventura is right about Kyle.

      Bradley Cooper (Clint Eastwood) is a dumb ass and should get out of the propaganda business.

    Running mate? Our Sarah doesn't need no stinking running mate to get in her way! She is Esther the Great. She can do it all..clean the hanger, bake cookies, make moose stew, shoot at caribou, shoot the starting gun for the snow machine races, appear on Fox, raise the kids, be a room month at Piper's school, take Trig to therapy, write speeches, crisscross the USA to give the GOP what they pay for; heck, she can even make a trip to London and back and not miss the parent-teacher conferences! All that, and she runs her own website TV show, writes FB posts, speaks out for those conservative Christian candidates who need her help, raises money for her PAC, and she has time to keep up on world events so she can correct the President on his miscues. I mean, gee, people, if we elect Sarah, what more do we need?

      For those who don't know, Wasillans are planning to erect a statue in front of Wasilla City Hall honoring Sarah Palin. The design is done, they are just looking for a sculptor for the job.

      It will be a 12 foot statue of Sarah Palin, and in her left hand she will be holding a copy of "Going Rogue". In her right hand will be placed a smaller statue of Bristol. The inscription on the base of this giant memorial will read "Between the two of us, we've screwed you all."

      Sarah Palin loves the The Chris Kyle movie. It is her cup of tea. She could win anything her heart desires just on her view of The Chris Kyle movie. What could possibly be more important? Going to war with Russia (feckless Obama)?

      When I heard Sarah Palin say words to the effect that her side was a winner because of the huge box office popularity of "American Sniper" it made sense that it is pretty simple to go to war again. When America goes to war, America needs snipers, especially snipers that are heroes.

      The ideal of this film was to bring attention to the plight of vets and soldiers. I betcha that Sarah Palin is doing her damnest to focus on that and how she was the model governor when her constituent wrote to her.

      Sarah is so proud and so very proud of Track Palin who thought highly of Chris Kyle. Kyle was Track's "IT". No one else is worthy of Track's hero worship like Chris Kyle and his list of kills. Jeremy Morlock is a close and dear friend, but no where near the kills.

    Do "Trig Truthers" work to Sarah's advantage? How could such an obvious political ploy, such overt child abuse work for her? Decide for yourself. Here are two "Trig Supporters" viewpoints:


    JQAdams Olga • 4 hours ago

    Trig is the silver bullet, A crucifix and a Stake in the heart to the progressive movement. This is also why the author is attacking what else... Sarah and Trig together. Not Sarah and her work on the oil and Gas commission or Sarah the Mayor from Wasilla or Sarah the Governor. The left knows this above all else, Trig could/can single handily end abortion on demand as law. The authors attack on a special needs child is further evidence of it. By Sarah giving Birth to Trig it Immunized her from every single solitary "What if, scenario the pro-death crowd attacks a pro-lifer with". Sarah and Trig give testament to Life itself. Which is why the author is uncomfortable at the site of Trig on stage with a loving mother. the author is expressing his own guilt and it shows in this vapid and emotional article that was written.

    Palin hits people on an emotional level and the reason is simple. she is not living a lie like most politicians do. Sarah may not be the smoothest talker out there. But who cares, When leadership of her quality is at a premium these days

Who is going to write about Eddie Routh's story? May be a little lip service, but no character study. What all actually happened to lead up to him killing his 2 buddies that were alleged to be helping him?

    Eddie Routh, a 27-year-old Iraq war veteran from Lancaster is accused of fatally shooting Kyle, 38, and Chad Littlefield, 35, both of Midlothian, on Feb. 2, 2013.

    Ben Carson is no Sarah Palin — yet

    ...In a lot of ways, Carson, a famed neurosurgeon, is no better than Sarah Palin, the half-term governor of Alaska. They both spend a lot of time complaining about the media. And they both have irritating speaking styles. Hers is a wannabe folksy stand-up comedy routine. His is that of a somnambulant stage-wanderer. But in an interview published in the Hill newspaper Tuesday, Carson said something Palin has never said and will never say.

    “I’ve been beefing up,” he told The Hill in a recent interview. “I’ve always been interested in those things, so I already have a good base of knowledge about policy, but I’m studying up on the issues and talking to people and getting their takes as well. You can never know too much.”

    - - -

    Now Ol' Delusional One, remember when vetting your potential VP running mate, be sure to ask them:

    1. what newspapers do you read?
    2. why do you strap on a faux pregnancy belly?
    3. why does the inside of your home have the same materials as the local sports arena?
    4. when did you decide to support your husband's pimping side-line?
    5. what do you think of the song "You Light Up My Life?"
    6. how come you teach your youngest child to abuse the family pet dog by encouraging him to step on the dog?
    7. can you give me details of the Wild Ride and why you cancelled your security detail when rushing from Anchorage to Mat-Su to "give birth"?
    8. what is your thought on those who snort white stuff off of oil barrels?
    9. in your personal hygiene, what is the importance of all those dirty wigs, stained & smelly clothing, plus your rank body odour and halitosis?
    10. are brawls a tradition in your family and why do you accept your children swearing vulgarly in front of you?

    Now remember Ol' Diva of the Dumpster, these are just preliminary vetting questions. As you progress in the process, the probing will be much more severe.

    Good luck with your phantom presidential run.

    Pilot Tells Jake Tapper: Brian Williams Helicopter Did Take Fire

    Explaining that he was piloting the Chinook helicopter following closely behind the one that was struck by an RPG, Krell said that his chopper “took small arms fire” in the attack. He said Williams “would have been aware of it because of the activity of the crew and the door gunners were returning fire” and said the small arms fire only creating some minor damage to the helicopter.

    Leaving the RPG question aside, Tapper asked if Krell took issue with other parts of the story Williams has been telling for years, “that the helicopter took small arms fire and that he was scared.”

    “Well, no, we were all scared. That’s the truth,” the pilot responded. He said could understand why members of the crew of the chopper that was struck by an RPG do “take issue” with Williams’ accounts. “I don’t think it was anything derogatory towards them,” he said. “I agree he needs to apologize and get the record set straight, but I don’t take offense to it personally, no.”

    Asked once more if Williams is being “accurate” when he said the helicopter he was in took fire, Krell replied, “Yes, that is a true statement.”
