The war of words has escalated between former CNN talk show host Larry King and his ill-fated successor Piers Morgan.
The latest volley has come from Morgan via Twitter, and it's not pretty.
You'll remember that King spoke out about all of the reasons why Morgan's show crashed and burned so dramatically and dragged CNN down with it. Now Piers has had enough, and he wants King to shut his yammer.
Behold, the unhinged tirade of an out-of-touch, out-of-work Brit with way too much Twitter time on his hands:
Hey Larry @kingsthings - you don't need to KEEP bitching about me. It's over. Relax. http://t.co/RBjtF4YN1W

And FYI @kingsthings - there is no such word as "Britisher'. But then research & facts were never your strong point were they, Brooklyner?

As for our respective egos, one of us changed his name legally to 'King' and it wasn't me. So get over yourself @kingsthings .

Larry King averaged a 176 in the demo in his last year at CNN (2010), and I averaged 218, 170 and 173 in my three years. #RatingsReality

Why should I show any respect to @kingsthings any more when he has shown zero to me? Game on, Brooklyner.

Always tried to be respectful to @kingsthings - but he's been a constant poisonous twerp towards me for 3 years and I'm bored with it.
