Piers Morgan 'demands apology'

Piers Morgan tells of his own importance

Piers Morgan, perhaps one of the biggest twats on the planet, has demanded an apology from Tory MP Louise Mensch over comments she made during the recent hearing of the hearing of the Murdochs by the Culture et al select committee.

Mrs Mensch, formerly known as bestselling author Louise Bagshawe (admittedly, her books are chick lit trash), made the following comment during the hearing; "As a former editor of the Daily Mirror, he said in his book The Insider recently that that 'little trick' of entering a 'standard four digit code' will allow 'anyone' to call a number and 'hear all your messages'.

"In that book, he boasted that using that "little trick" enabled him to win scoop of the year on a story about Sven-Goran Eriksson. That is a former editor of the Daily Mirror being very open about his personal use of phone hacking."

Piers Morgans response was both retarded and pompous, as anyone unlucky enough to be aware of the man's existence would expect.

"For an MP to use Parliamentary privilege and state that I wrote in my book that I use phone hacking for stories is a complete outrage because anyone who has read the book knows that I said no such thing.

"I would quite like her to read the book and then apologise in the same public forum that she used to make these ridiculous allegations."

Mrs Mensch is under no obligation to apologise; indeed, I'd rather than she hadn't. It's only likely to have inflated an ego already full to bursting. Piers Morgan, after all, is a contemptible man in that he is not just pompous, self-important, and the host of the most inane chat show I've ever watched, he also possesses the single characteristic I loathe most: hypocrisy. Piers Morgan is a left wing man who has spent his time trying to make as much money as possible, be it through papers, TV, or books. Morgan is talentless, but appears on TV regularly to judge talent because it makes him money. Morgan is in his mid forties, but has already written three volumes of memoirs; I assume they sold if he made so many, but I honestly can't see why. A boring man must surely have had a boring life. I can only assume Morgan's egoism facilitated the metastasis of his 'story' into three volumes of garbage.

One of these days, Piers Morgan is going to have to apologise for watering down the cultural landscape, blatant hypocrisy, and rampant arrogance. Until then, I'll continue to ignore him as best I can.
