Jerry Springer Is Starting A 3 Hour Liberal Talk Show In Cincy

[cincinnati_liberal]

Now, I'm a Fan of Jerry's politics, not his show. However, the man was once mayor of Cincinnati. Accually, he was TWICE. After he bounced a check on a HOOKER and they re-elected him. Now Cincinnati is the repuke enclave of the midwest, but the city boundaries are very small and urban so the city council tends to be democrats. He's serious about running for Governor or Senate. I don't know if he's going to help or hurt. The man's track record is a bit scummy, to say the least. I can see the easiest smear campaign EVER by the repukes on TV. All they need is stock footage of his TV show and that's pretty bad. I hope he has some damn good speeches up his sleeve. So what does everybody think? I'd campaign for him but it might cause more hurt to the Democrats everywhere, not just in Ohio. I'm sure a good chuck of dems don't want him to run. What should he do?

1. I think doing a liberal talk show is a better way

for him to get involved in politcs than running for office again.

I don't think Jerry Springer can win a US Senate race in Ohio.

7. But a lot of rednecks adore him.

So you never know. Maybe he really *could* get elected. :shrug:

2. I hope he runs and knocks them on their asses.

3. Is his syndicated show still on the air?

Truly, I have no idea....!

4. Yes, Yes It Is

My best friend books his guests in Chicago. They accually do so well, they don't advertise. Sound crazy? It is. It's just on at different times in many cities. Got a story for Jerry's show? They need some.

5. I think he has discredited himself beyond redemption

He's an embarrassment to the party because of his trash TV show (is it still on the air)? It's too late for him to redeem himself. I just wish he'd go away.

6. On what station? WLW?

If so, he'll be surrounded by neo-con shrills like Bill Cunningham and Mike McConnell who'll open the lines to their mindless stooge listeners who'll bitch and moan about Springer and how stupid he is and on and on and on. That's what happened to the last liberal talk show host that station had--Matt Reese. He was the object of relentless attacks by his station colleagues and their stooge listeners. Whether he left because of that, I don't know, but I wouldn't blame him if he did.
