Jerry Springer announced he is taking a few more days to decide if he's going to run for senate here in Ohio. (And with an unfavorable rating of 71% while trailing in the polls to a politician with a lack of charisma like Eric Fingerhut, I'd be considering renewing that TV contract, too.) Frankly, I'm torn... I think I actually want to see Jerry run.
The Ohio Republican Party is a mess, with inept populist leadership showing almost no interest in conservative or libertarian values. As my brother-in-law's father says of Governor Taft and Senators DeWine and Voinovich, "They're Democrats in drag." The party has moved so far to the center (one might even argue slightly left-of-center, at that), the Democrats have been stuck fielding morons from the extreme left like Lee Fisher and Tim Hagan. Meanwhile, George Voinovich can call himself a Republican while speaking out against tax cuts, and Governor Taft's aides continue to comb through the books looking for any potential new taxes or fees they might have overlooked raising in the last few months. It's all a sick joke and something drastic needs to happen to reverse the trend.
Enter Jerry Springer. Jerry, well, he's a sick joke in and of himself, but as a senator from Ohio he's the potential cure for what ails me. Jerry Springer defeating a popular incumbent such as George Voinovich is the sort of solid kick in the ass the Ohio Republican Party desperately needs. I might have to hold my nose while doing it, but I'd vote for the guy. He's the ultimate vote of "no confidence" in the political leadership of either party, and it's less effort than writing in "Mickey Mouse."
Besides, C-SPAN would be a lot more interesting with Jerry's bouncers preventing senators from throwing chairs at each other while yelling to those in the galley, "You don't have no right to judge me." If we're really lucky, Jerry can arrange a hearing on highway safety featuring Ted Kennedy and the Kopechne family. Now that's entertainment...
Jerry... Jerry... Jerry...
