Unless you are Michael Richards or Roseann Barr singing the national anthem. Its cool that he was edgy about a guy who murdered his own family. Its hypocritical that the same guy gets weepy and soft now.

Springer has at least been a public official and from all accounts I’ve seen, not a horrible one.
