Reply #16: You misunderstood what I meant ...

I don't feel sorry for him ... Jerry's a millionaire! Nor do I feel sorry for his talk show guests. They're not being exploited ... they knew what the show was when they agreed to do it. Jerry's not Oprah ... he's not a talk show host, he's a ringmaster!

What I meant was it's a shame that someone who has a lot of good ideas and intelligent things to say will have enormous difficulty getting his message out because of who he is - he'll never shake the talk show image. I've heard him speak several times about the issues ... he's an intelligent, compassionate guy. Honestly, it surprised me. The man genuinely cares about people, so no matter what I think of his talk show, I still think it's a shame that someone who cares will probably never be taken seriously enough to make a difference.
