judge jeanine pirroJudge Jeanine Pirro – remember Jeanine Pirro? She was the Republican candidate for NY Attorney General in 2006, in an election cycle that leaned so hard to the left that even known lawbreaker and impeachment trial-bait Alan Hevesi won in a landslide. Anyway, she lost (not to Hevesi – that would just be sad), and now she’s playing Judge Wapner on Channel 5.

Her show starts its second season today, and former Coney Island sideshow operator John Strong is first in the on-deck circle. (Strong ran the departed Strangest Show On Earth at the Joe Sitt rent-a-carnival, and was not associated with the Dick Zigun founded-Sideshows By The Seashore which remains on West 12th Street – y’know, just in case you were wondering.) This is the case of the nationally renown five-legged dog that was auctioned off to someone in North Carolina to keep it out of Strong’s freak show. The puppy has had its extra leg removed and will stay in its Tar Heel home, but Strong has sued for monetary damages for wrongful reneging or something.

You can watch it on Judge Jeanine Pirro today at 4pm on Fox 5. (Or you can read the spoiler from the Daily News here.)
