Minneapolis, MN -- Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has disappointed his supporters by saying he won't run for re-election.

However, one person is happy about it: Biographer Leslie Davis, author of a new book, "Always Cheat: The Philosophy of Jesse Ventura" (Tell The Truth Books).

Davis claims Ventura has built a career on lies and even is lying about being a Navy SEAL. In reality, the governor was on an Underwater Demolition Team and never fought in the Vietnam war.

In addition, Davis accuses Ventura of being cruel, such as the time in 1998 when he recommended bulldozing homes occupied by 36 "peaceful protestors" and sent in 700 police officers to tear gas them.

Ventura also enjoys shooting pheasants being released from cages, even though he has chastised hunters for "killing Bambi."

Davis thinks people liked Ventura because he talked about honesty a lot during his campaign -- but he claims the governor never practiced what he preached.
