John Cleese is a pretty out spoken liberal and often Tweets things that would upset a conservative. However, the Monty Python alum is on the same page where it concerns the odious Piers Morgan. Cleese gained thousands of admiring “favs” on Twitter when he Tweeted that he “detests” Morgan.
Piers Morgan spent several years gaining failed ratings on CNN until he was finally fired. His chief job, apparently, was to make fun of Americans and work to undermine the U.S. Constitution. It was a ratings flop.
Today, as Morgan toils in obscurity, it seems that the former CNN talk show host was miffed when Cleese ignored him in a restaurant and so attacked Cleese on Twitter over it all.
Cleese, though, is having the last laugh with a series of slams on Morgan that even has conservatives coming to his side.
Piers Morgan writes that I didn't recognise him in a restaurant in New York.I did.I just didn't want to speak to someone I truly detest

Anyway,I thought he was in jail after admitting he'd authorised phone-hacking at the Daily Mirror.Still,our Briish legal system works slowly

Piers is now asking when I'll be funny again.'It's been a long time" Answer : "Piers,when are you going to be talented.It's been a lifetime'
