"The chicken crossed the road because it thought that" lawyer Roy Den Hollander "would try to fuck it," is just one of the swipes foul-mouthed comedian Jim Norton took at Hollander on the satellite radio show last year.
Hollander's suit said Norton's diatribes "held him up to public contempt and disgrace and caused him personal humiliation, mental anguish and suffering."
Under the terms of the deal, Hollander agreed to withdraw his suit and Norton agreed to withdraw a motion asking that Hollander be sanctioned $10,000 for filing a baseless action and ordered to pay Norton's legal fees.
Hollander said he was confident he would've gotten Norton's motion tossed out because it was flawed and "frivolous." He was less sure about the overall chances his $500,000 defamation suit would have had because the judge seemed unsympathetic to his plight.
"The judge wasn't too favorable towards the case, so I decided to quit while I was ahead," he said.
"I figured Norton's learned his lesson and he won't mouth off as much ... You don't always have to win a case to win a case," he said. (http://www.nypost.com/seven/08272009/news/regionalnews/manhattan/opie_and_anthony_comedian_settles_lawsui_186769.ht m)
"You don't always have to win a case to win a case"
