“The Bells admit that Michael Savage didn’t mention their names. But their defamation suit says “a listener of the program would understand” that Art Bell was the subject of the gibe about marrying “a 10-year-old hooker” in the Philippines and as a result being off the air.”
What an idiot. If “a listener would understand” the reference, then Bell himself is saying that this rumor about him was already in circulation and probably known to anyone listening. So what damage could Savage have possibly done to him by mentioning something that Bell assumes everyone is already aware of?
Why do I find myself wanting to make a batch of meatballs this morning?

Excellent point!
