As someone who lived through the birth of the modern celebrity politician movement (Jesse Ventura as Governor of Minnesota), I am truly sorry as it led to the last 4 years.
However, I am not sure Ventura was worse than the GOP alternative (he won due to an odd 3-way race, so there was also a DFL option). The GOP candidate ran on 'fiscal responsibility' but had been personally bankrupt... If he had been governor instead of JV, there would have been all sorts of major issues.
