Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura says he can no longer appear on Fox News, and apparently it isn’t because he hosts a show on another cable channel. Back in May 2009, Ventura made a somewhat friendly, but contentious appearance on Hannity’s prime-time program. However, the way Hannity conducted his interview wasn’t very well received by Ventura. On Adam Carolla’s Wednesday podcast, Ventura boasted how he responded to the cable news host. “By the way, I can’t do Fox anymore because they won’t have me on,” Ventura said. “You know, the big three at Fox? But I will tell you a funny story. I did Sean Hannity a couple of years ago. And I walked in there and it was between — they went to break and he looks over at me and says, ‘Oh Gov. Ventura, thank you – blah, blah, blah’ and all this stuff. And I looked at him and I said, ‘Well Sean,’ I said, ‘I don’t know if you know this but I am a Navy Seal.’ And he goes through the rigmarole, ‘Oh thank you for your service da, da’ and all that shallow bullshit that you get.” That exchange led Ventura to reveal this – he didn’t want Hannity’s pleasantries about his military service, but instead wanted to send the Fox News host a message. “When he got done, I looked at him and said, ‘Well, Sean I appreciate that, but I didn’t tell you that to have you praise me,’” Ventura said. “I said, ‘I told you that because of this.’ He goes, ‘What?’ I said, ‘I want you to remember something – you got to sleep sometime.’ Oh my God, he just panicked.” And that according to Ventura was to show that he wouldn’t be intimidated by a cable news host. “But see, I know them and I watch how they operate,” Ventura said. “They operate off of intimidation and I wanted to show him, you won’t intimidate me. I’ll intimidate you.” Watch: Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura says he can no longer appear on Fox News, and apparently it isn’t because he hosts a show on another cable channel.

Hannity has never broached subject, but he did take a shot Ventura in a Nov.3, 2010 interview with former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. “He deserves a conspiracy TV show,” Hannity said last November.

What the hell is that supposed to be mean? That Ventura is too much of a faggot to confront Hannity directly and must wait until Hannity sleeps? Hannity should have just waited and bitch slapped Ventura right on the air and told him to get the hell out.
Remind me to never hire you for a social adviser. Ventura may have gone out of his way to avoid fighting with guns,but he is really into hurting people with his hands,and he would have squashed Hannity like a bug. Just because he is a asshole and a combat phoney,that doesn't mean he isn't dangerous. Don't make the mistake of thinking because the man is a phoney in some areas that he is a phoney in all areas. Not saying I wouldn't go up against him if push came to shove,but I'd just shoot the SOB and be done with it. I'm too old and too crippled to be playing around with a steroid freak like him,and am under no illusions as to what would happen to me if I tried to get physical with him.
The point is if he really is such a bad ass, why the hell is telling him he's got to sleep as if that's the only way he could handle Hannity.

When you tell someone that you know where they sleep, Paddy, you're telling them to NOT sleep as long as you're around......
If Bush is such a bad ass, why does he rub close cut male heads and why did he give a male lover access to the press room with fruadulent press crudentials and hide the fact he often stayed at the White House with him?
I just said he was a large violent man working off roid rage that is capable of easily kicking about 99% of the populations asses. I never once claimed he was clever.
