St. Patrick’s Day card with a cartoon of Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, ca. 1999/2000. The text reads, on the front side, “After a glass of St. Patrick’s Day cheer…” and finishes on the inside, “...the streets of St. Paul become perfectly clear!” Ventura had appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1999 and commented that the streets of St. Paul must have been laid out by drunken Irishmen.
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
