'Piers Morgan Live' ... dies!

'Piers Morgan Live' coming to an end, CNN says | Fox News: LOS ANGELES –
 CNN's prime-time talk show "Piers Morgan Live" is coming to an end, the news channel said Sunday. Morgan, who succeeded Larry King in the 9 p.m. EST time slot three years ago, was drawing lackluster ratings. In contrast, King had a 25-year run on CNN. The airdate for Morgan's last show has yet to be determined, CNN said in a statement.

We won't have Piers Morgan to kick around any more.

Frankly, I'm disappointed. 

One of my favorite "timewasters" is watching Piers Morgan Moments on YouTube.  Nobody likes the old hack, but watching him get "PWNED" is great fun.  His irrepressible ability to continue stressing discussion points which have already been  refuted by his guests is his most charming quality.

Apparently, he had adopted the persona of a Talk Show Host.  Larry Elder, for example, whose motto is "I Will Never Back Down!"






It must be nice to have that degree of self-confidence.  The understanding that you are NEVER wrong, nobody what anyone else says.


Oh, wait a minute.  That's one of the best qualities of a Blogger, too, isn't it?


Fortunately, I never have to admit that I'm wrong.

And if I am, I just delete the article.

Piers Morgan is always good for a modern euro-trash slant on topics of the day.

BTW, by his own admission, the Geek is seldom wrong.

The Geek thought he was wrong once, but he was mistaken.
