Last night, Piers Morgan welcomed journalist Buzz Bissinger and USA Today’s Christine Brennan to the program to react to the Lance Armstrong breaking news story:
“Sensational revelations,” said Bissinger. “As we all know, no one is really shocked by them. At least he was somewhat forthcoming. What I do want to hear more about is his justification for lying, literally, up to the final moment.”
While Bissinger and Morgan further discussed Armstrong’s all-encompassing confession, celebrated sports columnist Christine Brennan sat in a nearby “Green Room,” and weighed in on the breaking story.
“Wow, that was a wild minute of television, wasn’t it. The ‘Yes, Yes, Yes,'” Brennan quoted, repeating Armstrong’s series of answers to Winfrey’s opening questions. “This man lied with ease, Piers, for over a decade. And he came clean – if we want to call it coming clean, I guess it’s coming clean, if we can believe this now – with that same kind of ease. Ruthless. You almost wonder if he has a heart or a soul to be able to completely do a 180 so quickly on something that he has stood by forever. That was breathtaking.” Watch more here.
