Jerry Springer, elected official?

ShyShy · 26th July 2003, 07:13

wow, Jerry Springer is pretty serious about running for senator.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/939184.asp

the big question is, can he get away from the ball and chain reputation of his show??? i know he was once the Mayor of Cincinatti(spell check), but would his campaign really fly?

Kaboon · 26th July 2003, 10:01

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Raz · 26th July 2003, 10:35

Can you imagine the debates with him in there:

Him stood there looking solemn while the people debating throw chairs and whatnot at each other...

Rocker · 26th July 2003, 10:48

/me gets out of chair and bashes kaboon(with the chair)

BEEP BEEP

Mr_007 · 26th July 2003, 11:08

Good news!

Mattress · 26th July 2003, 14:15

heh, good luck.

I don't think he can get away from the ultra-trashy talk show image he's created for himself, I think most of the posts in this thread support my claim.

zootm · 26th July 2003, 18:46

yeah, I agree. I mean, so his skeletons are more visible to the public. It'll prolly help him get into office.

MStar · 27th July 2003, 04:06

He Was Mayor Of Some City At One Time...

skyewolf · 27th July 2003, 04:10

I can't see Jerry Springer in Congress any more than I can see former Senator Trafficant as President ... but then, hey, that's what this Country is all about ... every little kid can dream of becoming, and if he has what it takes, can become President some day ... one of the great things about this Country ...

DragonSon · 27th July 2003, 04:30

You think that if he is elected, he's going to hire people to throw chairs at other Congressman when they don't agree with him?

mikm · 27th July 2003, 19:05

Jessie Ventura is the governer of Minnesota.

yes he is. very good m2k. have a cookie.

he's actually done a really good job w/ the state from what I've heard. One of the best govnrs they've had in awhile. idk about Springer though....I hope not.

mikm · 27th July 2003, 22:14

i love cookies! (wait...what kind)

Wow...I didn't know that he was doing so well. (Either that, or they have had really bad governers though).

Mattress · 28th July 2003, 03:25

The thing that (I think) is good about independent candidates getting elected is there's usually no (or not much) partisan crap to muddy their waters and they can do what needs to be done, maybe be a bit more honest about things.

Maybe I'm completely wrong about that though. I'm just making assumptions here.

ShyShy · 28th July 2003, 06:46

i've been thinking about this for the past couple of days, but if i were a voter in that area, would i vote for Jerry? i know that he has political credential (being past mayor of Cincinatti), but what has he done in the past couple of years to lead him to believe that he could be a viable candidate for senate? hmmm, i guess i'll be looking into that a little further.

NecroBob · 28th July 2003, 15:33

well hell, Jess Ventura, Ahnold running for California gov, hell, why not Jerry Springer?

I think it'd be interesting

ShyShy · 28th July 2003, 17:30

damn. forgot all about the Ahnold. wasn't there some noise about changing the constitutional requirement about the prez being american born because of his running for governor?

Cylob · 28th July 2003, 17:58

Who is this Jerry Springer character anyway?? Never heard of the geezer.

Raz · 28th July 2003, 19:44

Mixing the entertainment industry and politics is never a good idea in my opinion.

zootm · 28th July 2003, 19:46

still not over ronald reagan, raz?

Mattress · 28th July 2003, 19:57

Politics isn't an entertainment industry?

I liked the SNL skit they did about that. 'I'l climb back up into a womann's uterous and then come back out if that is what it takes" or something along those lines.

DragonSon · 29th July 2003, 04:50

I saw that episode, it was hilarious....I don't think they would ever change the constitution just for one person though....no matter how famous they are..and if they did, I think I'd have a brain anuerism and die....uggh...

Mattress · 29th July 2003, 06:20

I can see the guy as president, they might change it, make the requirement really high for non-native citizens, like a certain number of years of public service etc...
