...anything you wanna be." Sure as Jim will grow up to turn himself into Jesse ("the Body") Ventura and become Governor of Minnesota, you now know that this unauthorized biography will be more Afternoon Special than Slamboree. Nils Allen Stewart plays out the Jesse personas (Navy SEAL, bad-boy rassler, radio shock jock, maverick pol) with an engaging sweetness. In the end, though, five minutes of the real-life Jesse is far more...
Georgia had Lester Maddox and Louisiana had Earl Long, and now Minnesota has gone and got an interesting Governor of our own: a pro wrestler with a shaved head and a bad-boy swagger whose voice is hoarse from bellowing at opponents and threatening to rip their arms from their sockets. He was the protest candidate, a chance to throw toilet paper in the trees and piss off Dad, nobody dreaming he would actually be elected.

Even those not on his record label are clamoring to get a piece; Puff Daddy has produced hits with Missy Elliot, Timbaland...
...Washington, telling the crew they were "the steel in the sword of freedom." Next stop for the defense secretary is Russia, where he hopes to convince Yeltsin of the need for military backup -- and find out what all that talk of World War III was about. Russia?s own bad-boy superstar touches down in Baghdad Wednesday -- none other than ultranationalist parliamentarian Vladimir Zhirinovsky, with a planeload of humanitarian goods in tow. So much for the tour guide. Whether any of these road trips actually amount to anything is a matter only the band managers -- in Washington and Baghdad...
