This could be interesting. Isn't Springer a lawyer? And I am not saying that to open this up to all the bad lawyer jokes you've ever heard. His show is pure trash, my husband loves it and I just shake my head, but I have never doubted the man's (Springer's or my husband's) intelligence.
I have heard rumors like this before. A couple of years ago I thought he had said he was interested in being a candidate for the US Senate. If anyone hears anything else, I would like to hear it.
