Pompous Piers

Great Britain produces the best of people or the worst of people.

Charles Dickens, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and Churchill are among the best. And actor Henry Cavill is such a handsome Brit that they are going to let him play an American superhero.

Piers Morgan is the worst. In Thursday’s CNN debate with Breitbart News’ editor-at-large, Ben Shapiro, Morgan referred to the Constitution dismissively as “your little book.”

My question: Why is Piers Morgan still in the United States, and why do we let a Brit argue about American policies? Maybe we just keep him around to remind us why we did what we did circa 1775-1983.

Often, a minor little bit of operant conditioning, will modify bad behavior...a punch in the nose to a guy like Piers is effective as a swat on the nose w/ newspaper to housebreak a puppy.

Usually such measures suffice, but this is a hack of long standing, whom a significant number of his own countrymen are ecstatic he left the country of his birth for his new home at CNN.

No way to collect, but I bet ya a beer, he's never had a good old fashioned butt whippin.

Piers' world view is limited by the size of windows on his short bus.

The Writers of The Constitution, and the document itself, will long outlast a Brit Twit.

The Chickenhawk from Harvard, Ben Shapiro, fared the worst of the pro-gun rights interviews Morgan conducted but I guess DC Conservatives consider this a great victory with Ben Shapiro calling for more and better background checks.

Apparently our little book isn't red enough for his liking.
