Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura told the nation that Norm Coleman is a hypocrite who has lost the election for U.S. senator and should give up his fight against Al Franken for a second term.
In a wide-ranging interview Monday night on CNN with Larry King, Ventura also called former Vice President Dick Cheney a coward for avoiding service during the Vietnam War and made a pitch for himself to be appointed ambassador to Cuba.

What he would like to see is for Coleman to abandon his court battle with Democratic rival Franken, who holds a 312-vote post-recount lead.
"Coleman's always been a hypocrite," said Ventura, who "shocked the world" when he defeated Coleman and Democrat Skip Humphrey for the open governor's seat in 1998. "He never does what he says. He said on Election Night , when he won, that Franken should drop out and he should be the senator. Well, the same should hold true after the recount."........
