Schnitt brought suit against Bubba the Love sponge for defamation. Apparently Bubba's worst offense was calling Schnitt's wife a "ho,"
It was clear watching Schnitt's demeanor during the recent trail that he was losing. Schnitt even tried to get a mistrial declared when his attorney was arrested for DUI alleging complicity on the part of one of Clem's staffers,
What is the point of a shock jock suing another shock jock except for publicity?
The jury sided with Clem against nasty little Scott Schnitt. Clems' rudeness was ruled protected free speech The jury dropped 48 charges of defamation. Clem is going to have a big parity in St, Petersburg to celebrate the victory with his friend, Howard Stern.
This was a bad day for right wing radio. Hopefully more will follow.
