Since appointing himself the arbiter of sound gun control policy in America, Musket Morgan has turned his low-rated talk show into a spectacle for his ego and gun-grabbing rants. And up until last week, he mostly got away with it. Then, things changed. Morgan chose to pick a fight with “Bullies” author Ben Shapiro and was soundly throttled.
But we’ve got to hand it to ol’ Musket: he’s nothing if not persistent — and a glutton for punishment. This afternoon, he invited Shapiro to participate in his “Guns in America” townhall tomorrow night. For a “balanced debate.” No, seriously:
Piers must be a masochist RT "@piersmorgan

To our utter delight, Shapiro has accepted the invitation:
@piersmorgan Anytime.

@benshapiro great, see you tomorrow night. live at 9pm from NY studio.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 14, 2013
We’re already making the popcorn.
Update:
Looks like a no-go:
UPDATE: @PiersMorgan not happening tonight; they said no 1-on-1. That's not "balance." Anytime Piers wants real balance, I'm here.
