Throwing a Chair On the Radio Loses Something

Jerry Springer is getting a liberal talk show, in Cincinnati.

Springer, who will continue to host his more raucous TV show, called the war in Iraq immoral, saying it appeared to be focused on determining whether Iraq's Shiite majority or Sunni minority will be in charge as the country tries to grow into independence.

"Would you be willing to have your son or daughter die for that?" Springer said.

Springer politely received those who called in to his radio show, in contrast to the conflict-oriented style of his TV show.

Some see the radio show as a springboard for the Democrat's possible return to politics in 2006, although Springer has declined to comment on that issue.

We could see that coming.

Flash at Centrisity - from whom I got the story - notes:

I'm not sure this is the guy the Left wants presenting their message, but if it makes the Right a little on edge, maybe it won't be all that bad.

The qualifier is "if".

Springer is like Michael Savage - a walking caricature of his philosophy. If I were a liberal talk radio fan, I'd be cringeing a bit today.

I mean, in the rare moments I wasn't cringing about FrankenNet or, locally, the Janet Roberts station.

Come to think of it, Springer might be a step up.
