Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura appeared on “Larry King Live” Monday. Speaking critically about President Bush’s policies and the state of the economy, Ventura said, “Obama inherited something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.”  He then criticized the Bush administration’s use of waterboarding on detainees, explaining to King that he was waterboarded during training as a Navy Seal and that there’s no question it’s torture. “You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney, and one hour, and I’ll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders,” Ventura said. Ventura, who currently lives in Mexico, also offered a solution to the Mexican drug-war situation.
