Attack on Rupert Murdoch

[JohnnyM]

WTF just happened during the testimony???

 

[Larry T. Spider]

Looks like an attempted pie to the face. The guy ended up getting clawed by some chick and wearing the pie or paint or whatever it was.

 

[JohnnyM]

That chick (in pink) was Murdoch's wife. She stepped up and really whacked at the guy. Good for her.

Let us do an evil pie to the face that good may come?

 

[A. BETTIK]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

 

[CanaTigers]

That was pretty strange but amusing

 

[dalhorn1]

has anyone been able to account for mcbrett's whereabouts for the past day?

 

[Crockett]

All I can say is that if I ever live to be an 80 year-old-billionaire I hope I have a hot young, Yale-educated, wife to step in and slap the crap out of someone who tries to put a pie in my face.

 

[mcbrett]

yes- i flew to London and did it myself- wouldn't want to upset the notion some have here that if you call out Murdoch- you must be a crazy, insane pot smoking liberal.

 

[dalhorn1]

man, brett, you're wound tighter than a baseball. it was a joke.

 

[mcbrett]

As was my response

 

[dheiman]

What the hell kind of legal proceeding are they running over there?!!?

Well, even at 43 she's very pretty, and apparantly athletic as well. Throw in that she's willing to kick butt to protect her husband and I think Murdoch ought to keep her, even if an opportunity to get younger at that position presents itself, as I suppose it inevitably does for a man of that wealth.

Crockett
Good points.
The first thought is she is just a trophy wife but you usually don't think of a trophy wife being willing to jump up and slap the crap out of a man going after her 80 y o hubby.
She reacted faster than anyone else which says to me she cares enough to try to protect him.

It was great to see.

Tiger mom's don't take any crap.

Circle of life, baby.

 

[hooklahoma]

He became a citizen after the government changed the rules to limit how many television stations a foreigner could own.

Having neglected to bother to become a citizen before, he suddenly decided it would be nice. George H.W. Bush, the noted Texas A&M library person rushed through his citizenship and Rupert became an American. I puked.

But hey, hacking the telephone messages of a murdered teenager is just good journalism. Anybody would do it. Wouldn't you?

I am sure in one year Murdoch has paid in taxes more than all of us combined over our lifetimes.
