Well, that’s the idea. But Piers Morgan has always preferred to march to the beat of his own drummer. So, when a tweeter asked him what he’d be giving up for Lent:
@piersmorgan – so Mr Morgan, what are you giving up for Lent?
— Catherine Mallon (@catherinemallon) March 4, 2014
Here’s what he said:
Work > RT @catherinemallon: @piersmorgan – so Mr Morgan, what are you giving up for Lent?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 4, 2014
In that case, he’ll have no trouble coasting right up until Easter.
Well CNN anyway RT @piersmorgan: Work > RT @catherinemallon: @piersmorgan – so Mr Morgan, what are you giving up for Lent?

You know, it’s pretty easy to give up work when you’ve been canned.
But… LOL! "@piersmorgan: Work > RT @catherinemallon: @piersmorgan – so Mr Morgan, what are you giving up for Lent?"

Maybe Morgan’s answer was in earnest, or maybe he was just trying to make light of his pathetic situation. Either way, he’s a media hack with a knack for jackassery, and, try as he may, he’ll never be able to give that up.
