Christine O'Donnell Walks Out of Piers Morgan Tonight Interview

Matt Cherette · 08/17/11 08:12PM

Onetime Senate candidate and current memoir-hawker Christine O'Donnell taped an interview with Piers Morgan this afternoon. It didn't go as expected, though. After being asked about gay marriage by a "rude" Morgan (who shot back by describing her as "weird"), O'Donnell stormed off the CNN set mid-interview. And yet as you'll see above, Morgan and O'Donnell's tiff probably made for much better entertainment than anything she said in her book.

Poor President Obama just can't catch a break. Earlier today, the president entered the White House Rose Garden to announce that he'd tapped Richard Cordray to head the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. But then he told a bad joke about Cordray's past as a Jeopardy! contestant. And nobody laughed. And it was sad.

Justin Bieber may never be overthrown as America's No. 1 teen idol, but that doesn't mean the singer isn't still capable of making cringeworthy television appearances. Take, for instance, Bieber's cameo on tonight's Late Show, during which he indifferently presented the "Top 10 Little-Known Facts About Justin Bieber" for an even more indifferent David Letterman.
