Piers Morgan, something that was found in David Frost’s stool sample, is not a bright person. An arrogant, dishonest, alleged phone hacker, sure, but not bright. It’s very hard to grow intelligent when you’re gigantic ego blocks the sun.

The other night poor Tyler Perry, who seems like a very nice man, had to sit there and be polite as Morgan showed a graphic which stated that President Obama has 92% of the African-American vote while Mitt Romney has only 3%. The blowhard Morgan said this: “You see, I just don’t think that helps the debate, either. It doesn’t help that almost no black people in America want to vote for one of the two candidates.” Perry made a quiet point about how African-Americans usually vote Democratic. Morgan didn’t clarify his comment and say that he meant that Republicans had behaved in a way that was repugnant to minorities, that their attempts to suppress the African-American vote and exploit racist Birtherism had done great damage. The implication seemed to be that there was blame to go around. It was a strange moment.

But regardless of what he meant, his underlying point was bullshit. As I’ve mentioned before, if Herman Cain was running against Hillary Clinton, the white candidate would enjoy the large majority of African-American support. So it’s not just about race–it’s more about Party and what one particular candidate can offer. I’m sure someone as self-important as Morgan has never thought this through, but this boob should be in no position to offer serious political commentary in any medium.
