As Twitchy has been reporting over the past few days, Piers Morgan has become a vocal critic of the Obama administration and we must say, it’s been delightful to watch. Morgan continues that onslaught with this zinger aimed at President Obama and CDC Director Dr. Frieden and their happy-talk on Ebola:
Best way for Pres Obama & Dr Frieden to reinforce their claim it's very hard to catch Ebola is for them to be pictured hugging a patient.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 17, 2014
Boom! Yeah, go hug it out guys.
And a double-boom from Morgan and his readers:
@piersmorgan Can't transfer bodily fluids by hugging
— Andrew Miles (@Manwithaview1) October 17, 2014
Want to test that theory? > RT @Manwithaview1 @piersmorgan Can't transfer bodily fluids by hugging

@piersmorgan @Manwithaview1 Ebola in patients with high viral loads has been found in sweat in levels high enough to infect. #NoHandshakes

@Manwithaview1 @piersmorgan Spanish nurse contracted it wiping face of one of the priests who had ebola…..

Of course, we are talking about Piers Morgan, and he really can’t help himself at times. Here he is back to talking about guns:
REMINDER: Republicans have blocked Pres Obama's nominee for Surgeon-General, Dr Vivek Murthy, because he backs gun control. #ebola
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 17, 2014
So Americans have no Surgeon-General during a public health crisis because the nominee believes guns are not conducive to public health.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 17, 2014
One person has died of Ebola in America so far. 30,000 will die from gun violence this year alone.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 17, 2014
Well, Piers, for starters, there is an “acting” Surgeon General, but he’s actually not at any of the Ebola meetings:
#WOW Acting Surgeon General #NOT in @WhiteHouse #Ebola meetings #reiders #1Voter #RonanFarrow
— Joy Reid Fan Club (@club_reid) October 17, 2014
REMINDER: There is currently an acting Surgeon General. ALSO: The Surgeon General has ZERO role in containing Ebola. @piersmorgan
— RB (@RBPundit) October 17, 2014
And secondly, Harry Reid changed the rules in the Senate so that the president’s nominees can be approved with a simple majority:
Where and who is the Surgeon General? Reid stops vote on SG. Seems the SG should be our Czar! Media, do your job. #Ebola #czar #obama
— Rich Kelsey (@RichKelsey) October 17, 2014
How about asking the Majority Leader to schedule a vote, heh?
Morgan ended with this:
There is no gun czar in America.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 17, 2014
He’s wrong, again! Joe Biden is the “gun czar,” from CBS News:
Obama tapping Biden to lead multi-agency gun violence policy review
Well, at least the vice president wasn’t named “drug czar” because that might be awkward now that it’s surfaced that Biden’s son, Hunter, was kicked out of the Navy for abusing cocaine.
