Quick use of the beep button on Merrick and Rosso on the radio this morning.

A prostitute called in and mentioned the name of a Labor politician who had “seen” her. The hosts cut her off and started apologising – wonder if they made it in time to get their station out of any possible defamation action. Mind you, would the politician be prepared to go public and take action?

How long will it be before everyone knows who the politician is? I give it till tomorrow morning.

Update (05/07/2006): Well, it took till today, when Michael Costa outed himself as the politician who was named, in launching defamation action against Merrick and Rosso’s radio station, Nova.
