In Kentucky (Louisville), in 2003(a little over one-year after beginning his "show"), he saw fit to use his "bloody pulpit"(his morning "talk-show") to attack a recent girlfriend(who had broken-up with him),a local TV show personality, ranting about her boobs, and her "genital hygiene". He was fired within days of that "genuine display" of candor; subsequently sued for slander (by the "lady"), which claim was successfully defended on grounds the lady was a "public figure" (I believe it remains currently on appeal).
Mr. Zeigler, ever unapologetic about his..."indiscretion", bellowed about "free speech" being on trial, throughout (both in response to his firing, and the subsequent lawsuit). IMO he has demonstrated himself to be an unprincipled, opportunistic, "Limbaugh wannabe".
Sometimes "the messenger" is worthy of being...."shot".
