Jerry SPRINGER for (next) President. He's on fire against Piers.

I'll leave it to the discussion.

What we need is a TRAINED, people-person/carnival huckster with verbal skills. RAYGUN was trained by MGM. Jerry is where it's at.

Chair throwing, face punching, security guard filled confrontations, maybe with a Tasering or two.

Jerry! Jerry! Jerrrr-eeee!

Yup! It would happen. Great TV. Sounds like something George Carlin would come up with.

I didn't say anything to him, as the cashier was kissing his ass up and down.

He may not be known as the most prim and proper person on tv but he sure can make a forceful point. And he has a direct line of access to the toothless red state trailer park crowd.

I thought he was knowledgeable, interesting, and hated to see him leave the network. I knew nothing, and still know nothing of his TV career, except from others' remarks about what a clownish, silly, trashy, nothing waste of the airwaves his shows are. Probably so. On someone else's talk show I once heard a discourse on Jerry's career, his progressive intelligence, and his talents of relating to people, and the possibility of where he might actually run for public office - but nothing was ever to come of those thoughts or efforts that I know of. I don't know why he presides over the type show he does, guess he's made a living doing that, and some people must watch him. However, there are deeper themes to this man's makeup, he has a serious thoughtful side to him.
