Err America advertises Jerry Springer as…

The Voice of Reason…

Uuuummmm, yeah. That’s right. The first thought that popped in my head. I shall not pick the low hanging fruit – spending my time finding web videos of him at his most reasonable. My guess is that there are some out there – out there – out there…

Actually, to his credit he is a much better host than the ‘Randy Rhodent’. He allows his conservative callers to eat his lunch. Often. Very Often. Very, very often. Then he concedes… When your subject revolves around Bush unilaterally, and uniquely, bombing sites in Iraq prior to Iraqi Freedom than you are going to get spanked. Uuuummm, Jerry, do you remember the 'No Fly Zones', the multiple Tomahawk missile strikes, and the arming of the Kurds?

My guess is that Mr. Springer will find himself to be a ‘9/11 Democrat’ before the year is up. He listens enough to know his arguments – forged in titanic battles against other daytime television stars and those mensa guests of his – are weak, and getting weaker. I just heard two callers destroy him on the Err. He is smart enough, and probably strong enough, to make the transition from Birkenstocks and burlap sacks to getting mugged onstage at college campuses.

Here’s to hoping that his audience remains small before the transition. It will be better for his long term career!
