Jerry Springer

Jerry Springer has stooped to new lows and new highs too. Casey Anthony, found not guilty of murdering her two-year-old daughter, has been offered $1 million to appear on “The Jerry Springer Show.”

I have no idea what the usual compensation is on this show, but pretty sure that when the show features it’s usual slew of baby mommas throwing chairs at their is-he isn’t-he my baby daddy, they aren’t getting paid more than a free hair-cut and some craft services.

Jerry Springer has some words for George W. Bush regarding the war in Iraq. He's calling American military action in the country "insane."

He says, "That never made sense to me, even if Bush was telling the truth about Weapons of Mass Destruction - in fact, particularly if he was telling the truth about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Why the hell would you bomb a country that could fire back? That would be insane. Bush did real damage to America's reputation around the world."

Jerry also commented on the British government's recent decision to hold terrorist suspects in jail for 42 days without bringing charges.

He says, "You can't have the government determining how long people are imprisoned for. That's the job of the courts. Habeas corpus is a right that goes back to the Magna Carta, and governments can't infringe upon that."

Jerry does have a point! What do you think about the two subjects he touched upon?

Students at the prestigious Northwestern University are outraged over the school's choice for commencement speaker.  And of course, the students have expressed their anger via a blog:

"There is a current uproar in the graduating class. The graduation committee thought Jerry would be the appropriate speaker for this year's convocation. Most of the student body is opposed to this, but the administration is sticking by the committee's decision."

"Opponents should chant 'You suck!' when he is introduced."

"Wow, the fact that people are defending this schmuck as a speaker makes me want to cry. Jerry Springer: prime example of the degradation of the human race for money."

"This could make the best graduation ever. Better still if two hotties (preferably lesbian) rip each other's robes off."


The dean of the school apparently doesn't care, citing Jerry's history as mayor of Cincinnati, and that he's an alumni of Northwestern.  She never did mention that little show you may have heard of that kind of put him on the map and made him and bazillionaire.  The students should just treat it like another episode of Springer. Jerry, Jerry!
