David sends us a link to MSN<\/a> which reports that Jimmy Janos Ventura blames the Chris Kyle story about knocking down “Scruff face” in a bar for his diminished star power;<\/p>\n

Ventura, who entered politics after a career as a professional wrestler, said in testimony on Monday his career was thriving until the book’s publication but afterward work started to dry up.<\/p>\n

He said his income averaged about $1 million a year in the prior decade but that it dropped off after Kyle’s book came out.<\/p>\n

“It came to a screeching halt is the best way I can put it,” Ventura said of his entertainment career.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess it couldn’t be that blaming Bush went out of vogue about the same time and that his entertainment ventures bordered on a clone of “The Lone Gunmen<\/a>” short-lived TV series. The Kyle team tells a different story;<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Kyle’s estate told the court Ventura’s income was on the decline before the book due to waning popularity, adding the passage about the bar fight had little impact on the dwindling demand for him as a media personality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, that’s what I’d expect them to say, but I think their version is probably a little closer to the truth. I can’t ever remember Janos being in demand. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
