Governor Howard Stern?

[Kevin]

Back in 94 wasn't Howard Stern thinking about a run for Governor of New York on the Liberterian party ticket? However let's say that he ran for the Republican nomention for governor and managed to get it over Pataki, Would it have been possible for Howard Stern to defeat Mario Cuomo?

I wish celebrities with political aspirations would just go away.  On both sides of the aisle.  I know Clint Eastwood is probably a good mayor.  Fred Grandy didn't embarass himself as a congressman.  I get that they have the right to run.

But good grief.  Howard Stern and Jerry Springer seeking public office?  It speaks volumes about American culture that either one would be taken seriously by enough people to get on the ballot.

Jerry Springer held political office before he hosted his talk show.

Oh yeah.

Cuomo 56, Stern 33, Golisano 9, Other 2

I remember that quite well (I've been listening to Howard Stern since I was in 8th grade).

He planned to run on just 3 issues:

1) reinstitue the death penalty
2) require all road work done at night
3) I forget the last one

He dropped out because he didn't want to file a financial disclosure form.

No.

Clint Eastwood WAS a good mayor.

Don't forget the late Sonny Bono, Congressman from southern California for a number of years.

Clint Eastwood 4 PRESIDENT!

Ah yes, the lousy skier who after he killed himself by running into a tree got his name attached to the bill extending copyright by an additional 20 years beyond the minimums called for under the Berne Convention.  The Berne Convention makes copyright last too long as it is, there was no call in joining the EU in their monopolistic silliness of making it last even longer.

I, for one, love Howard Stern's radio show. I think the guy is hilarious. Having said that, politics just isn't his thing. And besides, why would he run as a Republican? He is (obviously) a big opponent of censorship and general "family values".

i never understood how a grown adult could listen to stern.

I'm with you there, Walter.  Howard Stern needs to have a sock put in his mouth and be stopped.  He is against all kinds of decency, against everything that moral people would object to, Christian or not.  I understand it is free speech and he is exercising his right, but I think he is part of the cause of all the broken families and sexual misconduct among grown adults and even teenagers.  Face it, underage minors are not protected from Howard Stern's adult radio show.  If it weren't for parental guidance, an 8-year-old kid could listen to Stern just as easily as a 28-year-old man.  Whatever happened to the word 'decency'?  Whatever happened to the father and mother and children version of families, with nobody estranged?  Clearly, this man has no place in politics, or on radio, for that matter.  Thankfully, he is just on the radio and not on TV anymore as far as I know, except maybe the Oxygen or E! channels.

Howard Stern is an embarrassment to libertarians.
