...what do people feel about the idea of Jerry Springer running for the Senate?

I have no problem with that.

Surely you don't believe that the persona that Springer displays in his ridiculous TV show is his real personality? The man is an actor. That's his job.

Just because Ronald Reagan was in the movie "Santa Fe Trail" didn't make him a cowboy when he was president. (Well... if you count Grenada, maybe this wasn't such a good example. ) I don't think Jesse Ventura body-slammed anybody in the Minnesota governor's office...

Springer is bright, articulate, and obviously driven to succeed. These are not bad qualities in a politician. Frankly, I would vote for just about anybody who could demonstrate that his every action was not dictated solely by his perception of that action's effect on his being re-elected.
