Bush. Bin Laden. Cage match. Who wins?

Jessie “The Body” Ventura and then there’s Minnesota Governor Jessie Ventura same guy different times.

Busy man Jessy he doesn’t even have time to bleed :wink:

I have to say I like Jessie. Then again I live a very loooooonnnnggg way from Minnesota.

As for the OP. I’d have to go with OBL. Tricky bastard would probably have the whole stadium blown up.

I think it’s called Marfan Syndrome.

Crikey…

That was basically my reaction as well when I found out. Except I put a Irish turn on it.

“Well holy God, would you look at that” :smiley:

Why else do you think George W. Bush would be willing to fight him in this scenario? :wink:

Ah, so you’re not a “Holy Mary sweet mother of Jesus, will you look at that” man then.

(I assume anyone who calls themselves after a rather cool samurai has got to be male - also it’s the females who use the ‘Holy Mary sweet mother of Jesus’ line in my experience. But then again, what would I know, being from the highly atheistic south-east of England.)

Yep male and a big fan of Toshirô Mifune.

This got me thinking and I started a thread http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=99442

Any input from the south-east of England?

I’d say bin Laden would win. But then we still have bin Laden in a cage, so there’s still a favorable outcome.

And yes, my international friends, we really do have a pro wrestler as a state governor. Only in America, as they say. :slight_smile:

Yeah, I’ve seen it and it proves my point. Watch carefully - he doesn’t couch the AK-47 properly against his shoulder, so when he fires it, the butt of the weapon slams against his shoulder and cheek, and the muzzle immediately begins to climb through the three or four shots it fires. This is footage of a man who has never fired the most common weapon in Afghanistan (hell, at this point, an AK-47 might be the most common object in Afghanistan…) and yet he’s supposed to be this great “holy warrior”…kinda like his buddy Omar, the great scholar of the Koran and spiritual leader of the Taliban who can’t read or write.

Now, reliable reports say that Bin Laden was involved in one battle with the Soviets, when he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and received some wounds in that engagement. This was after he’d been “fighting” them for a few years. He’s nothing but a check-writer, and I’m pretty sure that Bob Hope could kick his ass, never mind Dubya doing it!

Don’t feel too bad. Italy, at one time, had a PORN STAR as a member of parliament. All she did was flash everyone at public events.

(I saw her interviewed on HBO’s Real Sex)

Putin is a black belt in Judo.

And then there’s Alexandir Karelin, who could easily be one of the most dangerous men in the world with a few years of training.

Looks like ya gotta watch the Ruskies.
