One problem with what Springer is saying is that he does NOT understand the Ryan budget. It does NOT destroy medicare for those over 55. Springer is nothing but just one more B.O. blind follower spreading the same old stuff twisting it into lies.

If the MSM wasn't so quick to propagate all these lies, and amplify any diversion from discussing economic issues, the election would have a much different outcome.

Springer is spot on but someone like him would never and could never run for office. He has history in the public eye.

Most of the candidates who have bought their way in the WH seem to have been little known before hand. Obama, Clinton, Reagan, Carter were not house hold names before they were in the WH.

Spinger is a smart guy, who uses "sensationalistic" to become filthy rich...

crack dealers become rich also, but don't like them either. Springer is a least common denominator guy....exploitive of the lower classes and a jerk.

Doesn't make crack dealers stupid though. The ones who get rich are smart at their game. Not the slightest bit legal or ethical though.

Springer is an actor. His TV persona is no more him than The God Father was Brando.

I have seen several interviews with Springer and I believe he is a very intelligent guy. You may not like his opinions but his character on his show is irrelevant to the conversation in my opinion.

Question. Does the usage of the word "idiot" around here mean: "the person is an imbecile" or "this is someone who's opinion or ethics I don't share"?

I'm a little confused. Because I think a person that's worth half a bilion is far from an idiot. If he's an idiot what are we?

He wrote a personal check for a hooker and it bounced...I'd call that an idiot.

I tend to think it is the later of the two options you offered. I never thought W Bush was to bright. Cheney on the other hand I think is very smart. I also think Limbaugh, Coulter and O'Reilly .. etc are very intelligent. I do not agree with any of them but I do not think they are idiots. I have not seen any interviews with them that separate their public persona from their private ones like I have with Springer so whether or not the others are putting on an act like Spinger clearly does is debatable.
