In your face Murdoch

[ashstralia]

fair dinkum, you couldn't write shit this good.

edit: no-one would believe a single bit of it.

The Murdochs go in front of the committee in 90 minutes time or so.

Odd twist #265 one of the people questioning him is Louise Mensch



Best-selling "chick-lit" novelist (as Louise Bagshawe) before entering Parliament last year. Married Peter Mensch, manager of rock band Metallica, in June. Has been critical of police accepting media payments - but also warned against making "bogeymen" out of the Murdochs for wider press ills.



I remember when Mensch managed Def Leppard in the 1980s, he must be ancient!

Ironically given the title of this thread someone just tried to custard pie Murdoch in the committee.

LOL, his wife looked she came off the top turnbuckle to slap him !!!

[Seshmeister]

I wonder what attracted her to a billionaire twice her age...

[Seshmeister]

The custard pie thing was fucking stupid. Fox News immediately put it on a loop and it moves the story to being about a poor 84 year old man being attacked.

Murdoch did seem like a very old slightly bewildered man well past his best throughout his evidence or else he's a very good actor.

He must be one wealthy mofo as well. Def Lep in the 80's and Metallica now? Damn, guy has had some fucking prime ass jobs. My brain is wired so differently. Once I made my first $2 million or so, I'm retired for life to live modestly off interest and live in some cabana on a beach in deep Mexico. No one would ever see my ass again....except for all the poor fishes I would be yanking out of the sea for my tacos.

Shit...someone send me $2 mill. You can actually keep the principal. I just want the interest from it for the next 30 years or so. I am accepting donations at 'SendSadaistToMexicoForGoodSoHeCanFishAndDrinkBeer .com'.

He's a slippery old bugger.

I was dissapointed with the whole thing, to be honest. We didn't really get anywhere did we?

But, yes, the story will now be about attacking a very old man - which, in itself, is an abhorent thing to do.

Video replay here.... sort of. You can't actually see the old bastard or the pie, but the look on Murdoch Jr's face pretty much tells the story.......

Maybe they staged the pie thing themselves?

Would it really surprise anybody to find out they did?

Abhorrent is a bit strong.

The man has caused untold misery and did a hell of a lot to enable the war in Iraq for a start.

Actually I'm not sure even killing him would have been abhorrent, a bit strong perhaps but morally arguable.

There was a second pie thrower at the ready....over there on the grassey knoll

killing him abhorrent...no....killing his family while he watches...getting close.

A hooker wife and Damian? It's not exactly the Partridge family.
