Not.

Mess.

With.

(Seriously.)

What *does* she see in billionaire Rupert Murdoch?

Well, after today's little entertainment here are a few thoughts / observations:

- Rupert's hair has both whitened and shortened very, very quickly. I suspect a change of policy on the vanity / dye front.

- He now looks uncannily like Emperor Palpatine - see previous post.

- He read PPE at Oxford. I didn't know that.

- He fathered his last child with Wendi at 72. Respect is due.

- Custard-pie man is going to be remembered as one of the most inept and counter-productive radical protesters in history. Instead of focusing on some of the (mildly) interesting revelations about the inner workings of News Corp, all we're going to talk about is the klutz who was literally bitch-slapped by Murdoch's wife and ended up with most of his custard pie on his own face. Idiot.

Another thought occurs:

the actions of the Formidable Wendi today were not those of a gold-digger.

How many of us blokes could say, confidently, that we knew our wives would get up and smack one on someone trying to attack us?

Agree about custard pieman.

Attacking an eighty year old, even if he is the owner of Fox News and the Sun, is beyond the pale.

Observer said...

Most women wouldn't have to smack anyone who was attacking their man as he would be smacking them back himself.

Fair play to her, but it looked like the instinct of a mother to a child, none of you would be surprised if a woman battered lumps out of anyone approaching her wean.

I suppose if you are married to a man twice your age that isn't able himself, that might be a role you take on.

If I ever intervened to protect Mr Observer, he would never talk to me again as I would have insulted his manliness.

Observer said...

What I think is quite disturbing is how the assailant was able to approach Murdoch in that way, I thought that in Westminster of all places security would be tighter.
