CINCINNATI -- Jerry Springer's new radio talk show doesn't have guests who get in fist fights or blurt foul language.

Springer promised to provide unabashed liberal views to counter the positions of President Bush in the first airing Monday of his radio show in Cincinnati, where he once served as mayor.

Springer, who will continue to host his more raucous TV show, called the war in Iraq immoral, . . .

I think that at one time, he was mayor of Cleveland.

I've never watched his show, and I doubt many people did or it would still be on the air. Poor man has all the gravitas of a failed pimp.

Just another liberal buffoon with a lopsided opinion.

Given his liberal talk-radio peers, he could make fart noises for three hours and be the best in the business.

Cincinati.


His big political issue was to exempt poor people from paying into Social Security (to give them a tax cut) and to raise the levels for other people, especially the rich.

So, he's pro-Saddam.

It's one thing to raise strategic objections to the invasion, but to say it is "immoral" means that he wishes that Saddam were still in power.

He would no doubt deny it, but he would be lying. You can't have it both ways.

The Whistleblower has a good billboard for Jerry and Al at this site.

Jerry started in Cincy and was a boy mayor at one point and TV anchor as well as a john for some of the local ladies. He brings a lot of experience to the mic.

"This is a guy who peddles smut for a living," said Jason Mauk, a spokesman for the state GOP.

He was peddling smut when he was on City Council in Cincinnati.

I suppose Springer's solution to mounting Islamofascism is to just let the fanatics continue to build up their networks, their weapons, their infrastructure, until they can attack the US and/or its allies with impunity.

What morons these leftists are.

If the US had done nothing in Iraq, Saddam Hussein would be a hero in radical Islam, supporting networks of terrorists as they continue their quest to create biological and chemical and nuclear weapons.

I can't quite fathom how a circus ringleader like this imbecil suddenly has the authority to speak to issues clearly out of his realm - like morality, for instance.

A man who has had a guest on his show who married his horse and had conjugal affairs with it, is in NO position to talk about morality.

Some of my family members and I were out to dinner at the local sportsbar here in our small Ohio town a couple years ago, when Springer made an appearance. He was compemplating a run for some political office at the time. A bunch of bimbos flocked around him like groupies, and my son went over to get a look (at all the girls...lol)

Springer asked my son if he would vote for him, and he replied, "NO". That's my boy!

Springer's a parody, a joke, and so I hope he keeps talking and making an @ss out of himself and his party. He is the Howard Dean of Ohio. Every state needs one of these liberal putzs.

The more successful Springer's radio career becomes the more damage he can do to the dems in '08.

I see Washington, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania becoming Red States.

It's okay because after Springer makes a fortune showing these freaks, he gives his little closing speach where he says we should be more understanding of each other.

This is the face of the rat party. It's going to be a good century for Republicans.

I understand the Mr Springer's parents "fled Nazi Germany". I also understand they were Jewish. Springer was born in London, England 1944. His parents were able to travel freely and the came to the United States around 1950 or so.

I concede that this wretched man certainly has a right to oppose that which HE deigns to criticise. The obscenity of it though is this: He begrudges the right of other human beings to pursue freedom for themselves. He does not care about the tenets of justice for those people. I take it that Iraq's did not get "due process of the law".

I viewed the horrible scene on T/V, when Hussein named so-called traitors in a large hall. The names were called and then apparently men were removed to a horrible death.

Ah,Springer,YOU are free. If the United States achieves it's object in Iraq, so will others have the freedom your parents wanted- and got. A fat lot you care- you horrible hypocrite.

Should have been subtitled "Springer sets moral tone for liberal Democrats"
