National Journal’s Hotline, the Cliff Notes of modern American politics, has been running a daily Springer report. From yesterday’s “Daily Springer”:

Today’s “Jerry Springer Show” topic: “Bad Girls Confess”
Highlights from the 7/14 “Springer” — “Leavin You Ain’t Easy”
Here’s how Jerry puts it: “Please meet Michelle, she says her mother’s bad habits are not going to rub off on her any longer.”
In “Michelle”’s own words: “Jerry I’m here to tell you my mom’s a prostitute, she runs an escort service. I’ve been working with her for the last six months basically because I didn’t have the money to raise my two children and I’m here to tell her it’s disgraceful.”
Guest “Candy” fully nude after being rejected by bouncer Steve: “Jerry, do you want to go home with me?”
Springer: “No, I can’t. I got to fly out of town, but otherwise of course.”
Guest “Candy”: “I’ll fly with you.”
Springer: “I’ll bet you would.”
Guest “Gino”: “I stopped loving her about 5 years ago Jerry, when I found out she was psycho.”
Number of seconds from Jerry’s intro to first use of the word prostitute: 16
Number of chairs knocked over: 2.
