I must admit that I do not like Piers Morgan.\u00a0 I did find him mildly amusing, on occasion, when he was a judge on America\u2019s Got Talent.\u00a0 My favorite was when some guy did a pole dancing routine.\u00a0 Morgan said:\u00a0 \u201cThere\u2019s a reason there are no night clubs featuring male pole dancers.\u201d\u00a0 But, for some reason, probably horrible ratings, Morgan went on a personal crusade to promote gun regulation in the U.S.\u00a0 He became famous for heated arguments with pro-gun advocates.\u00a0 He particularly sneered about those who said the 2nd<\/sup> Amendment was necessary to protect us against tyranny.\u00a0 On more than one occasion he described gun advocates as people who did not have a single legitimate argument to support their position.\u00a0 I became a charter member of the ship Piers Morgan\u2019s sorry ass back to England crowd.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, I watched Piers Morgan interview Penn Jillette.\u00a0 I was shocked to hear Morgan say that while he continued to support gun control, the recent scandals had made him realize that gun advocates had a point.\u00a0 He said that the actions of the I.R.S. harassing conservative groups and the DOJ spying on journalists made it obvious that we did have a tyrannical government and we were right to fear them.\u00a0 He said he still supports gun control but he had to concede that gun advocates have a legitimate argument.<\/p>\n

I only stumbled on this segment by accident.\u00a0 I avoid watching Piers Morgan for the same reason I avoid watching Jane Fonda.\u00a0 I can\u2019t afford to purchase a new television.\u00a0 Seeing either of these two people generates\u00a0an irresistible urge to do great harm to the television broadcasting their face.\u00a0 But I was switching channels and I saw Penn Jillette, who I find amusing.\u00a0 I also knew that Jillette is actually pretty conservative so I started to listen.\u00a0 I was so shocked that I thought I had misunderstood, so I went back and played the segment several times.<\/p>\n

The following article from Brietbart.com shows video of that interview, along with similar remarks from Joe Scarborough:<\/p>\n

This reminds me of when Morgan ridiculed President George W. Bush for falling off a Segway.\u00a0 He felt than only an idiot like Bush could fall off what he described as a self-balancing machine.\u00a0 Piers thought that was great fun.\u00a0 That is until he tried to ride a Segway himself fell off and suffered a very serious injury.<\/p>\n

Although a shrinking number of Democrats are trying to ignore the significance of these scandals, more and more people get it.\u00a0 In particular, the folks in the media get it.\u00a0 Piers Morgan interviewed Jay Carney and it turned out to be devastating.\u00a0 Some people criticized Morgan for asking softball questions.\u00a0 But the reality is that whether this was intended or not, he gave Carney enough rope to do a great job of publicly hanging himself:<\/p>\n

One cannot watch this video without understanding that Piers Morgan considers Jay Carney\u2019s answers to be utter nonsense.\u00a0 Ultimately, the Obama administration has botched this so badly and this is so obvious that they even flunked their Pier review.<\/p>\n
