Where Are the Jesse Venturas in the Democratic Party?

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has been scorching a bloody path through Outer Wingnutistan over the last few days. His unequivocal condemnation of torture and the twisted sociopaths who apologize for it has been nothing short of amazing.

Here he is on Fox & Friends (corrected):

In this clip, he handed Elizabeth Hasselbeck her ass on The View:

On Larry King, Ventura gave us one of his most memorable lines, "You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders":

Will someone please tell me why the Democratic Party is infested with so many cowering mealy-mouthed investigation-phobic "centrists" like Harold Ford and too few people with real balls like Jesse Ventura?

I can hardly stand to watch the Sunday morning talkfests anymore because I'm sure I'll be treated to hours of slimy douchebiscuits like Harold Ford doing everything in their power to repeat GOP talking points in order to burnish their "moderate" street cred.

More full-throated, bang-on-the-table, rage-filled condemnation of torture and the psychopaths who defend its use, please...
