QuoteThere have been times when the CNN host Piers Morgan didn't seem to like America very much — and American audiences have been more than willing to return the favor. Three years after taking over for Larry King, Mr. Morgan has seen the ratings for "Piers Morgan Live" hit some new lows, drawing a fraction of viewers compared with competitors at Fox News and MSNBC.

Now Rachel Maddow just needs to go for being in similarly bad ratings territory.

He's a British asshole on CNN. He was one of the biggest loudmouths pushing for gun control after the theater shooting in Colorado and after Sandy Hook.

Oooh.  So basically like a male UK version of Rachel Maddow.  Noted.

Except there are still people who take Maddow seriously, while even people who agree with Piers think he's a joke.  And congratulate people they disagree with for humiliating him in public.  Oh, and the time Piers had Alex Jones on his show, Alex was the one who brought statistics. Just how delusional do you have to be for Alex Jones to be a voice of sanity?

We can still hope he goes to prison for the cellphone hacking thing. While the UK government doesn't give two shits about the privacy or ordinary people (including doing things like prohibiting cell phone service on those prepaid cards, so that there's no automatic linking of the phone to the user), they were hacking the Royal Family's phones as well, and that they do care about.
