Jesse Ventura: Democrats & Republicans Should Wear Nascar Racing Suits So We Can See Who Owns Them

L. KING: You seem to look back, and look at both of these parties with askance look. VENTURA: To me, Larry -- and I have said it before, and I know I'll get a laugh out of this.

NASCAR fans are rabid, but are they actually contagious? Getting a hepatitis shot is standard procedure for travelers to parts of Africa and Asia, but some congressional aides were advised to get immunized before going to Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord and the racetrack in Talladega, Ala. Note: Well, that's it! The next thing is the baseball, basketball and football games. Do elitists frequent those games to? If not, then we won't have anything to worry about.
