Here is the line of the day about Jerry Springer, who is thinking about running for the Ohio Senate seat:
Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., worked on Springer’s 1977 campaign for Cincinnati mayor and his 1982 race for Ohio governor. She told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer this month that people would be surprised by Springer’s intellect. “There’s much more to him than his TV show,” she said. “He’s a policy wonk.”
Jerry Springer, policy wonk.

Policy wonk? What policies?
If he comes out in favor of outlawing the wearing of spandex by people weighing more than 200#, he might actually get some votes.

Lemme see if I can remember how he blew it before in Ohio politics. Wasn’t it writing bad checks at a whorehouse?
I think she meant to say “policy wank”. Just a hunch.

He was elected mayor of Cincinatti after that check incident.
David Perron
Heh…figures I got it wrong.

I’ve seen Jerry’s show. Once is enough. And I knew Jerry when I lived in Cincinnati and dealt with him when he was in politics, when he was practicing law, and when he was an anchor man. There really is a whole lot more to him than you would think based only on the show.
Of course, that isn’t necessarily a good thing.

More documented proof that Maria… CANT… very WELL…
