Shock Jock wanna-be and radio jackass Bubba The Love Sponge was fired today by Clear Channel Programming company a month after the company was fined a record $755,000 by the FCC due to some of the show's more racy antics.

The decision comes two days before lawmakers in Congress again will take up the issue of the growing coarseness of programming on the nation's television and radio airwaves, this time to hear from the broadcasters.

Clear Channel Radio Chief Executive John Hogan will be among half a dozen executives who will testify before the House Commerce subcommittee on telecommunications and the Internet.
