A brilliant man who is a bottom feeder. He manipulated the disadvantaged and terminally stupid for his own gain without contributing to the improvement of society. It would be easier to accept if Jerry is just a moron. But no, he had the intelligence to due better and chose not to.

The writer does not acknowledge the fact that the Springer show is leaving Chicago due to tax breaks that are being offered by the show's new home. Tax breaks that neither the city or state were willing to match. The new home of the Springer show needs jobs, and apparently believes that their tax breaks will generate larger revenues than the tax breaks that they are giving. Its a pure economic decision on the part of those that profit from this trashy show.

The city is not concerned about providing jobs. If they were they would be more open to companies like Wallmart moving in to the city. Instead the city throws roadblocks up against companies that could benefit the city. In reality, they don't want city residents put to work. They would rather tax others to support those that don't work, even if those that don't work want to work.

Springer's show is gone - and I am more than happy to see it go! Now, can Oprah be far behind?

A low life showcasing low lifes. There is no deep interpretation to Jerry Springer. He is/was/will always be a low life and nothing more.

But he did serve as a democratic mayor. Birds of a feather.

God have Mercy, besides "brilliant man" of course, your description reminded me of George W. Bush!

This appears to be the writing of a bitter and insecure man. Jerry Springer hardly qualifies as a failure. He chose to entertain and did that task well. Some find c-ock fighting stimulating while others enjoy poetry readings. Your arrogance says far more about you than you realize. Like the guests on Springer's shows, you look stupid for attempting to be more than you are.

Jerry Springer is 'the American dream' personified. He took what was given and made gold. You are a jealous and pitiful person for thinking that he chose not to do more. He did just fine and is laughing at people like you...just as I am now.

Let me try to explain. I will type slowly.
The article described Mr. Springer as brilliant. I am not brilliant or I would have used the correct form of "do" in my original posting.
But if Mr. Springer is brilliant, he has wasted his life. If he is just a dumbell, well he did O.K. then.
But you are probably right that Mr. Springer is laughing at me. He spent his life laughing at and exploiting others. I am not the slightest bit jealous of him. I have a good portion of my life uplifting and helping the misfortunate rather than feeding off of them for economic gain.
He is an example of what the American dream can be perverted to.
What show were you on mate?

"Because his guests sometimes say or do amusing
things"is a perfectly good reason to miss him.

Is your brain stuck in a rabbit hole? Springer will still be on the air. He will just be doing it from a different location. And if you think that there will be a loss of trash is Chicago when he leaves you are mistaken! There is more than enough trash in this city to entertain everyone, starting with the city council. Then there are the aldermen, the judges, the ministers, the White House, the crook county president, the parasites in state government. I could go on, but this state is just too ripe with trailor park trash to name all of them!

You are a bitter and insecure person. Using the word 'man' does a disservice to those of us who earned that right.

I see that you are easily confused too. How many other posts list just the name of the country? That's right...my IP is scrambled by Uncle Sam. I have been stationed overseas for most of the past decade - twice in places that you only see on the nightly news. That uniform means something to most people - I was proud to protect your right to be so arrogant.

Jerry Springer has hardly wasted his life. He is an entertainer and chose a path that allowed him to make money, gain celebrity and improve his life. You claim that he exploited people but offer no evidence. People lined up to be on that program and sought to tell their tales publicly. Your ignorance is truly astounding.

It is always ironic when people like you proclaim moral superiority over others but forget the most basic lesson of their Bible - judge not, lest ye be judged. If that is too complex, maybe you might comprehend the passage about throwing stones at others who have sinned. You have proven your folly. Thank you.

You never stood a chance.

I agree with Oak Lawn Bill. MOral Compass, your admiration for sleaze, although not surprising, is a sad statement about our country. "Moral Compass" is a very ironic handle you have chosen for yourself indeed.

Incidentally, an old neighbor of ours from back east vacationed a few years back east and attended one of those "shows". The "contestents" we were told were all phonies who competed against one another to try to achieve the lowest form of behavior to make the cut. The cut that people like yourself found to be what satisfied their inner needs.

Every freak, every aberrant behavior, every anti-social action... you name it. Every gutter crawler, low life, POS, well, you get the picture.

It never fails to amaze me what liberals see as art or as their example of freedom of speech.

First of all thank you for your service.
I can see you do not judge nor do you have any arrogance at all.
Sorry you don't agree with my opinion about Jerry but thank you for making many assumptions about me because of it.
