I’ve never been enamored of petitions. And especially of the White House electronic petitions; they always seemed to be of no practical value (see: the various “We Wanna Secede” petitions). Still, the petition asking to deport the hysterical hoplophobe Piers Morgan is fairly entertaining. The rule is, if the petition gets more than 25,000 signers, the White House will have to examine it and respond to it. When the “Deport Morgan” petition went online last week, I recall seeing some sneering that it only had 6,000 or 8,000 signers. But as of now, it’s over 67,000 signers. Will Morgan get deported? Not likely. But will Obama’s spokes-weasel have to go on record defending the indefensible? Most likely.

Deport British Citizen Piers Morgan for Attacking 2nd Amendment

UPDATE: And from the other direction…

UK Government: Stop Piers Morgan from being deported back to the UK from America

We got rid of him once and why should we have to suffer again. The Americans wanted him so they should put up with him. We washed our hands of him a long time ago.
