So word came down that Piers Morgan’s shown on CNN is ending. At which point I quipped:
Next up, @piersmorgan and @KeithOlbermann collaborate…on the rent for a Manhattan efficiency.

Enter Mr. Olbermann himself, who I like to imagine scanning Twitter in a darkened room while wearing an off-brand superhero costume. “Peasants? Making fun of me??? I will be avenged!”
You do realize I can buy and sell you, right? RT @BattleSwarmBlog Next up, @piersmorgan and @KeithOlbermann … http://t.co/PYZR6r61n2

Isn't it about time you applied at Al Jazerra? Or maybe an Akron public access station? @KeithOlbermann @piersmorgan

I think technically you work for ESPN2. On a show at 11 PM. Or, to follow the chain up, you work for Disney. @KeithOlbermann

Or, for that matter, Arsenio Hall? (Yes, he's back on TV too…) @KeithOlbermann

I don’t think I ever received replies to these two.

Nothing says “up to date” like referencing a TV show that went off the air when I was four…
Nah. Technical Writing and Science Fiction pay quite well enough, thanks. @KeithOlbermann

Back on the subject of the Current TV lawsuit:
I think real rich people have their limo pick them up. They don't whine in lawsuits their employer isn't doing it. @KeithOlbermann

Now, perhaps. But why insist on a contract with CurrentTV that required a limo to pick you up? @KeithOlbermann

Well, as entertaining as it is trading quips with a fomer CNN/MSNBC/CurrentTV host, it is, in fact, time to walk my dog. @KeithOlbermann
