I liked Jerry Springer this morning on AAR,
especially how he characterized the Schiavo case. He comes through as a knowledgeable, kind human being.

7. He said
republicans said to themselves (paraphrasing): "let's get on this, let's get some votes, but in the end of course it was all unconstitutional, so they couldn't really do anything and now the pro-lifers are mad at them". Just sums it up in one sentence. He did not discuss the merits of the Schiavo case, just the actions of republicans.

2. I Think He Needs A Co-Host
not some woman to laugh, like Katherine L. - someone smart like Oxford educated - Rachel Maddow

3. I was really uncomfortable ...
... with the host of a televised "freak show" ... but, I must admit he most often expresses intelligent opinion and is insightful. I am aware that he was mayor of Cincinnati(?).

I do wish he hadn't done the sleaze, but he did...

10. Love Jerry
I'm at work when his show is on so I don't get a chance to listen to him...but I too wish he hadn't done the sleaze. But he has and we can't change that. I just hope that people give him a chance and listen to his show. I think he's great and hope this radio show helps him to at least start to shake some of the stink of the TV show. He had a whole other life before the TV show...and it's quite interesting and surprising.

Again, I hate the TV show but I love the guy.

He is a very intelligent, thoughtful person and a good speaker.

6. It's a good show..
Kind of Liberalism for the masses. It would be a smart move for AAR to start a massive ad campaign, they certainly have big enough names. It'd be huge to have AAR on the air in every state.

9. Most definietly
I think so too. It could help get people interested at least. I think Mr. Springer's show is great and I think he does okay by himself. I don't think he needs a cohost personally. I do miss Unfilitered though. I wish they could go on a weekend schedule or something.
