I, for one, will always respect Jesse Ventura for one particular incident showing a behavior I have NEVER seen a politician perform.

He was coming out of the State House and some reporters had gathered around him - this was early afternoon. They asked a few questions and this one young woman piped up and asked him what he (Gov. Ventura) was going to do about financial aid for college students with infants.

Ventura's response was along the lines of "Why is it the government's responsibility to bail out irresponsible behavior?"

The girl was shocked and the reporters were *salivating* over this.

But a funny thing happened between the incident and the 6-o'clock news. Word got out on local talk radio and the callers calling into the radio stations were OVERWHELMINGLY in SUPPORT of Ventura's attitude!

Needless to say, the TV stations had to change the way they were planning on covering the story.
