A newly discovered novel by the late Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck is to be released this fall.CINCINNATI – Daytime television host and former Cincinnati mayor Jerry Springer doesn’t see himself getting back into elective politics.
Springer’s name has been bandied in recent years in Ohio as a possible Democratic candidate for Congress or governor. But he tells The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/13QUx1P) that he’s only a year away from turning 70 and, with each year, it becomes less likely. But he remains active politically speaking and raising money.
While on the city council, Springer was caught in a scandal over paying for sex. He said the incident “probably gets better in terms of legend.” He calls it more of an embarrassment than comparable to a politician stealing from the city treasury.
Springer said he doesn’t find his free-wheeling tabloid TV show shocking, no more than what is in daily newspapers.
