Not if you have enough credible witnesses to this oral defamation, and can prove that it somehow harmed you (loss of business, etc). You may have to bring the witnesses in person, rather than by affidavit or deposition, so they can be cross-examined in court.

How do you get rid of slanderous blogs about you?

The best you could hope for is to sue under any available slander laws and have a court issue an order for the deleting/removal of the blog. If they award sufficient damages it may be enough motivation for the blog author to not repeat the slander. Note that you have to meet the legal requirements to prove slander before you can win such a case. Occasionally you may be lucky enough that the web service hosting the blog will take it down for you if you contact them and complain, but that's the exception.
