In a bizarre incident, former Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell today walked out of the taping of an interview for CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, which is set to air tonight. The tipping point was Morgan’s question about her stance on gay marriage. (By that point, he had already quizzed her on witchcraft and sex with the tension between the two visibly escalating, especially when Morgan repeatedly asked O’Donnell to address old comments about masturbation she had made in an 1990s MTV documentary special.) “You’re being a little rude,” she told him several times before asking her handlers “Are we done?” and taking off her microphone. But not before schooling Morgan on conducting interviews: “Don’t you think as a host if I say ‘This what I wanna talk about’, that’s what we should address?” O’Donnell was on the show promoting her book Troublemaker. “My first ever walk-out in 25 years of interviews,” Morgan wrote on Twitter. “I guess viewers can decide if I was ‘rude’ or not tonight.” Here is the video, judge for yourselves. UPDATE: After airing the unfinished interview on his show tonight, Morgan invited O’Donnell to return tomorrow and promised not to be rude.

So which is more desperate–Morgan for having O'Donnell on in the first place, or O'Donnell for going on Morgan's show? Why would anyone care to listen to either of them?
Agreed, Neither have anything of interest to hear.
Agreed, but still think Piers was over the line.
I AGREE GARY.
Yes Gary it was the usual ask the people on the right question that are not asked of the left on that channel. People on the left call Fox News unfair. Fox at least ask both sides the same questions. CNN has tagged themselves "The world News" as if to appease people like Soros that thinks the world should be of one and controlled by a one world government. Fox news is Fair and Balance when you watch the MSNBC Branch of NBC and CNN one World networks. That is why the left are so critical of Fox.
I don't like this person and never have – he is one of the judges on America's Got Talent and he is a jackass and so "very, very BRITISH!!!"
Piers is known for his anti remarks and 'good broadcasting' doesn't badger folks.
I agree, Piers is a JackAss . I actually don't watch "Americas Got Talent" Anymore unfortunately. I Loved the people who competed but he isn't worth listening to or watching.
Masterbator, and provocateur, Piers Morgan should offer to discuss his masterbation thoughts from
years ago; before asking her back–fair is fair. I'll buy the popcorn. The question about her past
masterbation habits or opinions are irrelevant and non-sensical; par for todays MSM. Freedom of the Press has been replaced by cheap, gotcha and freedom to oppress journalism…. I think Piers' punishment should be that he has to run for high office– go to jail — or masterbatation on the air.
Why would Piers Morgan insult, ridicule and intimidate a lil lady?
Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me. Piers cannot be trusted, he proved that.
PIERS MORGAN IS STILL LOOKING FOR THAT GOTCHA INTERVIEW RATHER THAN JUST DOING A GOOD INTERVIEW. IF HE CROSSED THE LINE WHICH WAS AGREED UPON PRIOR TO THE INTERVIEW THEN CHRISTINE O'DONNELL ACTED APPROPRIATELY BY ENDING THE INTERVIEW.
Morgan should stick to judging "Britain's Got Talent" or "America's Got Talent"…….In this arena he comes across as nothing more than a Liberal Hack with an axe to grind……In my long lifetime I have watched the Left continually use their opportunities to destroy people rather than seriously engage on an issue and stay on topic. The Left is much better at insulting and attacking because their ideas are absolutely bankrupt and proven so over and over again by history……The Left never wants to be judged by results…..They only want to be judged by their intentions which are always stated but never accomplished…….
These Liberal Hosts, conducting the interviews, try to do what ever they can, to make someone who is not a Liberal look bad. O'Donnell should have known better then to have gone there in the first place. CNN is well known for siding with the Liberals.
What always puzzles me is why anyone, aside from liberals, would even dirty themselves by appearing on these liberal hack shows. Let’s face it, there’s no semblance of journalism here. None. It’s all about the “Gotcha!” questions. Those tiny little talking points that the libs are stuck on in order to hide the truth and smear whomever they are talking at. Everyone knows this. So again, WHY give them any relevency by appearing? It only encourages them. My message to conservatives & patriots: STOP GOING ON THESE STUPID SHOWS! Pierse Morgan should be extradited back to the UK to face those charges. Alex Jones was correct when he said that Pierce escaped to the US from the UK. He did exactly that. He needs to go back.
