Tastes like chicken: Coward Piers Morgan still dodging gun debate with NRO's Charles Cooke

Piers Morgan has plenty to say about guns and the U.S. Constitution — all of it asinine. National Review’s gracious Charles C.W. Cooke, a fellow Brit, recently offered to debate him about it. He even said he’d bring the tea and biscuits!

I will even bring tea, @piersmorgan. For two centuries, tea has given the British the fortitude to debate one another on television.

Alright, @piersmorgan. I'll bring biscuits, too. And cucumber sandwiches. Pimms, even. I'll do the debate drunk; you can stay sober. Monday?

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) September 12, 2013

But that was nearly two weeks ago, and Musket has yet to accept the invitation. Fortunately, Cooke is persistent:

Why do you keep asking for a gun debate, @piersmorgan, and then pretending nobody will take you up on it? I will. Let's do it.

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) September 23, 2013

To paraphrase @piersmorgan: Come on, Piers, stop hiding from me. I'll come on your show; let's debate guns properly. What are you scared of?

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) September 23, 2013

Piers is scared of losing, of course. But he’d never admit that. He prefers to deflect:

Sure. Just one problem. Who are you? > RT @charlescwcooke: I'll come on and debate you, @piersmorgan. When shall we do it?"

Typical jackass response from a typical jackass. Cooke is much more polite than we would be:

I'm a British writer at National Review, @piersmorgan, I write about guns all the time, and I think you're wrong. Are you game for a debate?

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) September 23, 2013

So, @piersmorgan, is that "sure" in the sense of "sure, we'll debate," or "sure, I'm not actually going to do this"?

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) September 23, 2013

We’re gonna go with the latter.

I'll be landing at JFK in 45 minutes, @piersmorgan. Turning off phone now. Let me know by then if you're up to it.

Time to come out of the henhouse, Piers. Put your money where your big mouth is.
