What took them so long?  This guy hasn\u2019t had any audience since its first day. <\/p>\n<p>So they import a Brit, a not particularly nice-sounding Brit&#8230; I mean, some British accents are kind of seductive.  This just sounded nasal.  Every time I listen to Piers Morgan I want to clear my throat and blow my nose.  My God, the guy needs a saliva drain in his mouth.  Anyway, he is gone.  They finally got rid of him, and they\u2019re chalking it up to two things.  A, imported Brit.<\/p>\n<p>B, he wouldn\u2019t let go of the Second Amendment and Americans love their guns and they don\u2019t like Piers, and Piers is gone. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/02\/24\/business\/media\/piers-morgan-and-cnn-plan-end-to-his-prime-time-show.html?_r=0\">The New York Times has a story<\/a> today and they\u2019re blaming his accent as the reason he failed to connect with Americans, his British accent. That\u2019s bogus.  The American people are suckers for British accents.  The American people think a British accent sounds brilliant and intelligent and worldly and sophisticated. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87604\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/PiersCrackinUpPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>He couldn\u2019t even pull that off.  His accent didn\u2019t for some reason. (interruption) Timing of what odd?  That Piers&#8230;? (interruption)  Oh.  Oh.  No, no.  No, I don\u2019t think&#8230; (interruption) No, no, no.  I don\u2019t think I had anything to do&#8230; (interruption) Snerdley said, &#8220;You don\u2019t find the timing odd?&#8221;  See, I don\u2019t think of my&#8230; (interruption) Jeez.  Snerdley\u2019s in there thinking that it\u2019s because I have been harping on the fact CNN\u2019s got no audience and no ratings and my asking how they\u2019re still around and live and kicking and so forth.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>I did a whole advertising explanation about how profits from elsewhere in Time Warner have been propping them up, and then they get rid of Piers Morgan. Snerdley thinks, &#8220;You don\u2019t have anything to do with it?&#8221; No. For some reason, somebody wised up and Larry King\u2019s out. He raised his hand. &#8220;Hey, hey! I\u2019m still here.&#8221;  He wants the gig back.  You know what CNN\u2019s thinking of doing?  Try this.  A pairing of Anderson Cooper 210 and Kathy Griffin, their team on New Year\u2019s Eve.  That\u2019s what they\u2019re thinking of doing to replace Piers Morgan. <\/p>\n<p>Piers Morgan. Let\u2019s go back to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=12087\">June 26, 2013<\/a>.  This is around the time where CNN announced the return of Crossfire.<\/p>\n<p>MORGAN:  The great news is that he\u2019s not back on Crossfire. He\u2019s too old and too boring.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s Piers Morgan talking about me.  He played a clip of me on the 1990 edition of Crossfire.  I happened to be on it once or twice. I think twice max. Morgan played a clip and then said, &#8220;The great news is that he\u2019s not back on Crossfire. He\u2019s too old and too boring.&#8221;  Hey, Piers? Ah, never mind.
