Donny Deutsch Wins One for the Gipper

dunhill-logo.jpg

Everyone's favorite* ad-mogul-turned-tv-douche, Donny Deutsch spent Friday using his words against English counterpart Piers Morgan during a debate for charity at the new Alfred Dunhill store on 55th and Madison.

Though we're fans of Dunhill, the same cannot be said for the two men chosen for this debate. In fact, we considered attending the event for awhile, but then we remembered the last time we'd seen Deutsch and Morgan on TV. Both occasions left us feeling dumber; and so rather than submit ourselves to more of the same, we sat around and performed self-lobotomies.

In the end, we hear Deutsch won. His take? A $10,000 donation in his name to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. In gentlemanly fashion, Deutsch split his donation with Morgan's charity, The Piers Morgan Charity to Aid Piers Morgan. Oh wait, it's actually the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.

Anyway, to one up both of them, Dunhill threw in an additional $10k, and both charities went home happy. Awww, isn't that sweet! We'll have the video of their debate a bit later today.

*by favorite, we mean least favorite.

Check out some of their more memorable comments from the night, after the jump.

Donny Deutsch on why New York is better than London: “In New York, you can wander the streets and so many wonderful buildings, shops, restaurants, people.
