Jerry Springer may run for U.S. Senate!

[red_jon]

Springer's made his dislike of the right well-known, his parents were holocaust survivors who fled to England, where he was born.

If he wants to enter politics to do what he believes is right, more power to him.

Jerry Springer as a politician. You can't make things any worse than that...

[MarkG]

Springer figures it would take $20 million to beat Voinovich and as much as $5 million to win a Democratic primary.

wow.....

...And how much did Steve Forbes spend to become President?

Eh, it's a free country. What is really important is how many vote for him.

Monkspider: "Springer will be about the only candidate most voters have ever heard of, so he will be a shoe-in for almost any political office, short of the presidency..... especially in the south."

This regional hatred coming from a man who lives in the state whose school board allows creationism in the science classes.

Maybe, perhaps maybe, people here will learn to make their points without resorting to insults. I doubt it, but... maybe.

Which, of course, is the perfect argument against taking private money out of elections. Thanks, Zk!!

I think we've found Al Sharpton's running mate.

[Lefty Scaevola]

Let's see how dumb he is this time. In his last campaign, before being retired to television, he paid his hooker with a CHECK drawn on the campaign fund.

And, iirc, the check bounced!
