Talk show host and professional nutball Alex Jones was allowed on Piers Morgan’s CNN program tonight in order to make “Musket” Morgan look sane. (Well, the real reason was because Jones was a co-creator of the infamous “deport Piers Morgan” White House petition.) He did not disappoint. Instead of sitting for an interview, Jones merely showed up and started yelling at Morgan. Among other things, he labeled our favorit Brit a “hatchet man for the New World Order” and asked Morgan for a boxing match — and those were two of the most coherent things he said all night.

I think alex jones just asked to box #piersmorgan I've never seen an interview like one I am watching on @cnn
— Jon Leiberman (@reporterjon) January 8, 2013
I love the Alex Jones said he'll box Piers Morgan. Jones says he'll wear "red, white & blue" and Morgan can wear his "Jolly Roger." Amazing.

Alex Jones is flipping out on Piers Morgan! OMG Piers Morgan is getting raped here!

On one hand, it was sad. However, it was funny to watch Piers Morgan desperately barking, “Alex … Alex … Alex … calm down!” to no avail.

No, not the 9/11 conspiracies! Please!
Oh, also he called psychiatric medication “mass murder pills” and “suicide pills.”

Alex jones is now doing a fake British accent mocking Morgan while saying 911 is an inside job. Kudos piers you look sane.

Alex Jones is now speaking in a fake British accent to mock Piers Morgan. This is the best thing to ever appear on television.

Alex Jones doing a British accent. Piers Morgan trying to hold back tears. #ThisIsAwesome
— DK (@DanOBGYN) January 8, 2013
In fairness, the accent was well done and probably the single most hilarious moment of the whole train wreck. It almost made Jones watchable.
@jamiekilstein I'm kind of surprised that Piers didn't knock him the fuck out, but that wouldn't help the situation.
— Bryan J. Sebeck (@bjsebeck) January 8, 2013
Actually, Bryan, we kind of agree with you, and it takes a lot to get us to defend Piers Morgan.

Mercifully, it was a relatively short segment. The best summary was probably offered by the next guest, Alan Dershowitz, who said that in a court of law, Jones would be referred to as something other than a “witness.”

Yeah, that’s one word for what he is. We disagree with Morgan on the Second Amendment as much as anyone, but he played this one well. There is no worse representative for gun rights than Alex Jones. And speaking of amendments, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney had some news for Morgan as well today.

As is the right to bear arms … right?
