Is Air America going to sponsor Gang Bangs now?
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 12:22 AM by Must_B_Free
Since that seems to be Jerry Springer's finest exploit?

Here's one of Springer's "progressive moments":
When Grace Quek first appears in Lewis's documentary, it is through footage from television's "The Jerry Springer Show". She is highly strung, manic, and surprisingly inarticulate for a university graduate. Unfortunately, she also plays the part of the giggly, girlie, breathy women stuck in Lolita overdrive only too well - hardly the model of self-empowerment and sober level-headedness that is needed to carry the message of pro-sex feminism to the world. When Springer announced to his audience that the woman sitting before them had had sex with 251 men, they were agog, speechless, before erupting into the simian hooting which characterises that proletariat show. Chong read their response as some kind of support and acts accordingly, but close-ups of the audience reveal another less digestible fact.


Kendra The Stripper Talks About Her Jerry Springer Experience. 9/1/98. 7:40am
Kendra the stripper who has been on the show a couple times in the past came in to talk about her experience with talk show host Jerry Springer. You may remember hearing about how Springer was video taped in a hotel with a stripper having sex. Well, Kendra is the stripper he was with. Kendra also dated Mike Gange for a little while. She talked about that later in the show. Before she got into everything Howard noticed that Kendra has gotten breast implants. She has huge D-cup breasts now. She also said that she got a nose job around the same time. She spent about $12,000 for the two operations. So anyway, the last time Kendra was in she wasn't allowed to talk about the Jerry Springer experience but this time she could. She went into detail about how Jerry brought her into his dressing room after she appeared on his show with her Mother and Step Mother. She explained how she gave Jerry oral sex in the dressing room. Howard had Kendra get into a bathing suit while she was there. She changed into it right in front of Howard. He said that he's going to put this interview on the new Saturday night show this week. After the oral sex Kendra and Jerry kept in touch with each other. Kendra would give Jerry phone sex for hours at a time. Then Kendra was scheduled to do the Springer show again. Some reporter from ''The News Of The World'' ended up talking Kendra into letting them hook some video cameras up in her hotel room to catch Springer having sex with her. She claims that she was scared into doing it and she tried to warn Jerry about it but it didn't work. Jerry came up to her room and worked his way into giving Kendra oral sex. The funny thing was that she had just done a gang bang movie the day before with 80 guys! Jerry was putting his face where 80 guys had just been the day before! Kendra returned the favor and gave him oral sex. Jerry was having trouble getting an erection so he ended up getting some lotion and trying to get himself off. That's all on video but Kendra claims she never got a copy. Kendra's step mother was in the room for all of that so she called in near the end of the interview. She didn't have much to add though. Then Mike Gange came in to talk about his nightmare with Kendra and her friend. He was banging Kendra but broke up with her when she started to ''scare'' him. Her friend Shea was leaving all kinds of weird messages on his answering machine. Shea was there to yell at Gange again today. She said that she didn't like Mike from day one. Gange was impressed with Kendra's new boobs but said that it looked like she was ''packing a little more junk in the trunk'' meaning that her ass was a little big. She said that she'd never sleep with him again. Gange seemed surprised by that. Kendra has a couple of porno tapes out. One is a reenactment of her Jerry Springer thing called ''Too Hot For Porno'' and another tape by the name of ''John T. Bone's World's Biggest Bang Off'' or something like that.

He is as qualified as anyone on talk radio...

He isn't bad at all. And he is a true liberal. I love that he rails against the corporate agenda. =)

He is intelligent, articulate, meaningful and impressive.

Trust me.

6. Springer's worth boycotting a whole station for because
of a show that took place seven years ago?

Name any radio show host, and I'm sure you can find something objectionable about them.

7. Where is the merit in this post?
Springer had a late night sleazy show that pandered to prurient interests. He didn't break any laws and he didn't invade a country "looking" for nonexistent WMD. May I suggest you choose you battles a little more economically?

they did it at least on their own free will, and for what other reasons are probably known only to them.

Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 12:49 AM by jdj
truthfully Springer will be used against dems at every opportunity. Thank goodness we have Jeff Gannon.

Politics makes strange bedfellows, so I am really glad in sense that he's in our game, even though his show was revolting.

He may be able to turn the Nascar dads and WWF fans that no other dems can reach.

If he's messing with strippers, at least he's out about it.

It's so weird how the fundie types that rail against porn, etc, are always secret porn addicts.

Some times you just have to say "c'est la vie", you know?

edit: and I do agree that his show was exploitative. I read a very articulate article (on here I think) that said that america really had no problem with his guests being porn people or incest (as in related ADULTS) enthusiasts, or whatever...I'm paraphrasing, but the article said that the only unforgivable characteristic of Springer's guests was that they were poor, and it was for their poverty, not the stated reason for appearing on his show, that they were paraded around and encouraged to degrade themselves. Kind of sad, really.

23. yeah
i don't like to condemn the guy, but this will probably do more damage than good in my estimation.

He's dirty for thge WRONG reasons. He's not endearing like a foul mouthed comic, his dirt was more akin to a pimp exploiting the weaknesses of a whore.

All the poor unfortunate people the Ringmaster exploited as his circus freaks were his whores and he was the pimp, pocketing the cash they made him.

9. So I'm supposed to stop listeing to AA because one of thier hosts
was supposedly (first I've heard of it) filmed druing sex without thier knowledge?

If nobody who has ever made a mistake sex-wise is allowed to discuss politics, I'll have to stop posting at DU. I'll bet most of us would.

I don't really care for the guy, but whether or not he got sloppy 81sts doesn't factor into my opinion of him at all.

13. its not about your opinion of him
it's about their opinion of you.

Sloppy 81st is a badge we'll ALL be wearing now,thanks to AA and Springers.

We're the Sloppy 81sts Party if this goes through.

Hey, why not Larry Flynt? Why not give him a show on AA? He's done more for politics than Springer...

30. I'd listen to the Larry Flint show
if for no other reason than he seems to get really good dirt on people and isn't afraid to use it.

You seem to forget that Jerry was a mayor (Cleveland, I think) before he ever was a talk show host. He does know politics.

Who gives a shit what the reichwingers think? Ignore them or mock them, but never let thier opinion dictate your behavior.

Hell, if the gang bang lady could do a good progressive radio show I'd listen. Who people screw is theier own business, and I truly don't care.

He was mayor of Cincinnati.

Pretty much an unnotable term except for that little incident of writing a city check to a hooker (while) mayor.

24. you've forgotten the first rule of partisan politics.
(spoken in a low whisper...in the furthest corner of the room...)

'when we do it, it's okay, and when they do it, it's a mortal sin'

don't take all that defensiveness personally. I think all the feminists have gone to bed, otherwise you might have reinforcements.

22. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say: You saw yourself on "Springer."
Learn about him politically, and away from his TV show. Then, listen to his radio show.

When you have done that, get back to us.

Thanks,

Floog

38. "I don't care if he has gotten it off with twins from Mongolia"
it's not about whether we care about it - this man's reputation is going to be part of our voice. I don't want to be represented by someone who made the choices he did; I don't care if he has says nice things like Nader.

Dennis Kucinich would have NEVER exploited people like Jerry Springer did. Dennis is not a purveyor of sleaze and violence.

It's one thing to be a recovering drug addict like Bobby Kennedy Jr. but to be the Pusher is another thing entirely. Springer was the pusher behind his violent sleaze shockfest, and that's what I regret will now be the poster child for Liberal radio.

49. So now you've got a problem with recovering addicts?
Let me make this plain:

1. Addiction is a disease.

2. Recovering addicts work hard to get thier shit together, and soing so deserves respect.

3. Many of the posters on this board are in recovery. Undoubtely more of us (myself included) have friends or loved ones in recovery. Insulting people in recoery or battling addictions won't win you any points.

33. Springer the man and Springer the show are not the same thing
The man has very progressive politics and ideas. On the show he often tries to be the voice of reason in the chaos. Its the producers that choose the topics and set the tone. Jerry just walks around and lets them do their thing. Its a job.

45. I have listened to some of his broadcasts already
And frankly I have no idea what you are talking about. His radio show has nothing to do with the sensationalism of his tv show. I frankly found his dialog to be some of the most reasoned and insiteful of all the progressive talkshow hosts I have heard.

He is not Howard Stern. He is not a sensationalist. I am sorry you are so upset about the TV show but its not him on display on it. He consistantly presents himself as a voice of reason to the insanity presented on there. He presents a voice of reason on his radio show. I happen to like reason.
