Asian women can be very assertive. To wit. (The whole thing is good if you find Olbermann amusing, but Michelle "mashed up bag of meat with lipstick on it" Malkin pops up at nine minutes in. And yes, Filipina counts as Asian.)
Quebeckercommie - if somebody jumped at you and shoved a pie in your face you wouldn't dream of pressing charges, oui?
There's more to this than meets the eye, his media outed cheating lying thieving MPs they're out for his blood. If they can shut down the "Free Press" in Eurabia using this as the reason the politicans will do it ASAP. This is about the free press'es survival
It's been said before and bears repeating- this whole witch hunt/ scandal is far too overblown.
Think rent-a-mob. Think George Soros and how much he must hate Murdoch and Fox news...
Seriously why aren't they after the paparazzi that sit outside peoples' houses with telephoto lenses?
Seems a bit more serious than guessing their voicemail passwords (no real "hacking" involved).
Back in 2002, Chretien had the RCMP arrest and jail Cameron Ward on rumor that he might throw a pie. No pie was ever found or thrown and Ward later recieved $10k in a lawsuit.
This is just more manufactured hype by the lefties.
When leftists throw pies or glitter or cast racist slurs, it's alright- in the leftists' eyes, though.
When will other publications be called out for their "reporting"?
Black Mamba, in Korea, ajummas (middle-aged women) are feared. They've spent a huge chunk of their lives doing the bidding of others. Not once they hit forty. They are powered by rage and kimbap. It's not racist; it's true. Ask anyone. Put a grizzly bear in the Octagon Cage with an ajumma and that woman will walk out with a fur coat.
There doing a Conrad Black on Murdock as they did to Martha Stewart. Its to show even the big guys that the bulliesare in charge. Leave this up to the police. If I where married thats the kind of Women I would chose. A good right hand.
I wonder if they will charge or sue her now?

He was assaulted with shaving foam, there's no excuse for that. But it's really a non event in the grand scheme of things. We're talking about hacking a dead girls phone and deleting voicemail messages. Hey let's change the subject somebody threw a water balloon or something. Let's talk about that instead. Pathetic.
Of all the ways a person can be physically assaulted, the pie in the face is one of the lowest on the scale. If someone had attacked Murdoch with a gun, knife, or even a pointed stick, I'd be as angry as many of you seem to be. But a pie in the face isn't meant to injure; it's meant to insult. Surely Murdoch deserves that.
Now, some may argue that Murdoch didn't do the hacking, and neither did Rebekah Brooks. But the whole idea of a chain of command is the man on top takes responsibilities when his underlings screw up. We're all ready to jump on Bambam when his government subsidizes studies on gay penis size, a decision which I doubt ever passed his desk. A pie in the yap is exactly fitting for a man whose papers routinely smeared people on the basis of single unsubstantiated reports, broke up marriages with suggestive pictures even where no infidelity had occurred, and ruined careers on the basis of innuendo. He's getting a taste of his own medicine; if you can't take it, don't dish it out.
dwright, they are after Murdoch because this is the great chance that the British privileged class has been waiting for, to get back at the man and his empire which has been such a bane to them for so long.
Remember, Rupert Murdoch despises both the trade union movement in Britain and the upper class control of the economy, business and government. That means he is hated by both the Left and the traditional, aristocratic Right. It is just as much an old boy's network now as it was a century ago. His tabloids have mercilessly dragged the lot of them through the mud for decades, exposing all the personal and public sins that the otherwise previously compliant British press would have ignored in former times.
Virtually singlehandedly, Murdoch revived a British press industry that was dying, in part by breaking the British press unions and in part by breaking British press traditions. His press was much more savage in its criticism and examinations of individuals, and they've hated him for it ever since.
KevinB, I don't give a rat's @$$ for the injured feelings of the British upper crust and their protected and privileged little world. Those who claim to be better than all the rest of us proles should always be under the gun for their public and personal behaviour. And for all your claims about innuendo and poorly substantiated reports, Britain owes Murdoch and his papers a great debt of gratitude for all of the truly vile behaviour uncovered about so many truly dismal Cabinet Ministers and the like with which Britain has been afflicted.
Given that the whistleblower who started this whole thing was found DEAD yesterday, and the Chief of Police's office was implicated and the chief resigned this week...
... is it not amazing this Lefty pie thrower idiot was able to circumvent the entire security setup of the House of Commons?
KevinB, its not a pie in the face. Its proof that the House of Commons security staff are either crooked or just plain useless. Possibly both. A 41 year old trophy wife beat every one of those f-ers to the punch, and landed a shot on the attacker before the cops even pulled their thumbs out.
That my friends is a disgrace.
By the way, since when did it become ok to assault people for being unpopular? I must have been asleep that day.
If a bunch of Murdock supporters pie the Lefty comedian idiot, is that ok too? How about if they pie him every time he leaves his house?
With due respect, you can't have been following this story at all closely.
Murdoch's crew were bribing police officers, a crime. They were getting unlisted cellphone numbers for people from the cops which they in turn listened in on, among a number of other services.
The lead investigator (Hayward) of Scotland Yard assigned to determine whether the initial discovered hacking was just a one off by a couple of guys, as the NotW maintained, or whether it ran deeper within the corporation, determined that there was nothing more to see ( which current events have clearly proven wrong)and then quit the Yard to go work for Murdoch's company.
The Yard hired on a NotW guy, (Wallis), and subsequently his daughter, as an advisor who now stands among those who have been charged with crimes.
The top guy at the Yard accepted a free five week stay at a posh resort courtesy of a man who turned out to be, wait for it, a good friend of Wallis.
They were hacking the phones of some Yard detectives. The possibility if not likelihood being in order to get something on the more honest cops who weren't playing ball.
Last but not least, the NotW had the police trace cell phones to their location.
Apparently, what was going on was quite a bit more than just guessing someone's voicemail password. By the by, two NotW guys went to jail in 2007 for doing precisely that. It was and is a crime that NotW committed 4000 times, that we know of. There is no downplaying that.

A test of how that would be received would be in order, no?
Piers Morgan backs Rupert Murdoch and disputes the allegations being made against himself.
"Former News of the World and Daily Mirror Editor Piers Morgan Tuesday defended his former boss Rupert Murdoch as a man of integrity, and dismissed allegations he too was involved in a phone hacking scandal."
"Mench claimed during the hearings today that Morgan wrote in his book The Insider, that he used phone hacking techniques to win scoops during his time as a newspaper editor.
"That MP just claimed I boasted in my book of using phone-hacking for a scoop," Morgan responded via Twitter. "Complete nonsense. Just read the book.”
It's interesting so many of the radical leftists commenting here condone the assault on Rupert Murdoch. The word for that is vigilantism, and is strictly illegal. KevinB, just for the record, that hearing was designed to find who was culpable, and it is a measure of your contempt for the law that you will not let the law take its course and instead applaud vigilante " justice " in its place.
The episode is just another example, if one is needed, of the ease with which some liberal souls turn to violence to achieve their ends. And, KevinB, your comment encourages violence against your political enemies, by poo-pooing it's seriousness.
The left has been the source of the Reagan assasination attempt, the Pim Fortuyn assassination, and all too frequently finds nothing wrong at all with employing violence to achieve their ends. Che Guevara and Stalin aren't the only leftists who have found charm in the "song of the bullet".

The British uppercrust and the traditional media establishment hate Murdoch with a passion. And for every little toad with a grudge, this is the chance to stick the knife in.
