Former Gov. Jesse Ventura (Independence Party-MN) appeared on Larry King Live last night, and he had some choice words for former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN), the man that he defeated in the race for governor back in 1998:

Ventura said that the legal process in Minnesota is working out as it’s supposed to be — but at the same time it looks like Al Franken is the winner, and any federal appeal by Coleman should be thrown out.

King asked whether Ventura criticizes Coleman: “Well I criticize him only that Coleman’s always been a hypocrite. He never does what he says,” Ventura responded. “He said Election Night, when he won, that Franken should drop out, and he should be the Senator. Well, then the same should hold true after the recount.”
