Please Let America Be Free of Piers Morgan
I don't mind being wrongly smeared with all this #Hackgate stuff, I'd just rather it wasn't done by liars, druggie ex-bankrupts and conmen.
Piers Morgan

Pretty brutal analysis of ludicrous showman hack Piers Morgan, current CNN bot, former News of the World honcho—though to be fair, it sounds like Morgan was genuinely moved by the celebrity voicemails he was forced to listen to! (Poor Paul McCartney, begging Heather Mills to come back.) The point being: "In a series of typically show-off statements, he made it clear that (a) hacking was no big deal, (b) he knew how to do it, and (c) lots of journalists were at it." Warning: analysis contains the quote "Piers loves the old rumpy-pumpy."
We don't want him back. Could you guys exile him to Alaska or something rather than repatriating him?
His ad hominem attacks against people who raise legitimate questions can only be properly construed as greasy
crucial addendum: this does NOT mean Larry King is allowed to return.
Piers is making me pukey-wukey.
this was a lot more interesting when I was mentally confusing Piers Morgan for Piers Anthony.
@amsone Oh god, I remember reading those Xanth books in high school; so full of puns!
If CNN wanted a hack to replace Larry King why didn't they lure Jay Leno over? Dangle a classic car and a case of Ensure for Mavis in front of that chin and he's all yours.
Why won't they take him back? What if we offered to take Ant and Dec, Simon Cowell (on permanent exclusive loan), and the editors of Zoo?
Can you be rightly smeared?
@C_Webb -It's all in the wrist.
@C_Webb Step into Cool's boudoir and find out.
@saythatscool I'm coming from Brooklyn, so I'll bring the artisanal bodypaint and some free-range local meat.
As I pointed out last week, Piers Morgan was not a "News of the World honcho".
He ran the Daily Mirror, a completely different populist tabloid.
@Flashman He did both: he edited NotW in 1994-95, before heading to the Mirror.
Imagine the potential impact of having someone other than a fatuous, decrepit lizard in suspenders or a smarmy, entitled game show judge in that position. Tell me, why is this time slot impervious to the public's lack of interest?
And then explain Wolf Blitzer while you're at it.
God, if I'm ever wrongly accused of something, I hope it isn't done by liars.
