According to wdel.com the campaign for Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell apologized for legal threats it made to news/talk formatted WDEL/Delaware.
The threat came "...after it demanded that video of an O'Donnell appearance on 'The Rick Jensen Show' be destroyed and threatened a lawsuit if it wasn't."
Chris Carl at WDEL.com reported: "O'Donnell's campaign manager...demanded that the video be immediately turned over to the campaign and destroyed. Moran threatened to 'crush WDEL' with a lawsuit if the station didn't comply."
Hint: a valid lawsuit requires damages and judging from some of the things O'Donnell said in the past, she pretty much caused herself more damage than anyone.

Hint: Tattoos are like real estate: location, location, location.

Radio Interview Cause of Congressman's Speeding
Friday July 30, 2010
Radio is just so exciting. At least that's the excuse California Representative Dan Lungren gave as to why he might have been speeding.
Cbsnews.com reported the Congressman called into KFBK to discuss an issue and while preparing to go on-the-air, was pulled over. "I was driving here probably just slightly over the speed limit," Lungren told the station. He was let off with a warning.
Hint: Radio is also responsible for: obesity, schizophrenia, hangnails, flu, low test scores, and bad breath.
