"I'm a SEAL. Let's Get

"I'm a SEAL. Let's Get It On" - Former Governor Jesse "The Mind" Ventura was allegedly involved in a dust-up with local gadfly Leslie Davis:

Davis was protesting Ventura's use of the Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) studios in downtown St. Paul last Wednesday night for his upcoming MSNBC-TV show.

When the ex-governor walked out of the studios and saw Davis, he allegedly threatened him and destroyed a blown-up sign depicting the cover of Davis' book, "Always Cheat: The Philosophy of Jesse Ventura."

The former governor allegedly reminded Davis of his pedigree:

"When he came out, he said, 'I'm not the governor any more, I'm a Navy SEAL, let's get it on and see what you're going to do about it,' " Davis said. "Usually, he shakes my hand and acts like my buddy, but this time he lost it."

St. Paul City Attorney Manuel Cervantes declined to comment because police hadn't yet presented the case to his office for possible charges.

Former governor.

Former governor.

I could sit and repeat it to myself all day.
