During the #Grammys, CNN’s Piers Morgan made this comment about Ringo Starr’s performance:

Fox News’ James Rosen responded with a ratings slap:
Remind me who Piers Morgan is again? "@piersmorgan: If this was a karaoke bar, Ringo would be bottled off by now. #GRAMMYs”

Zing!
Generally it’s wise to say nothing if you don’t have a sharp comeback. Morgan didn’t have that sharp comeback, but came back anyway:

That’s going to leave a mark!
Rosen added this:
.@RonSexsmith @vestaviabama @InsideTAMU It's been suggested that no musician has inspired more people to take up his instrument than Ringo.
