A Parliament hearing into hacking by News Corp. journalists erupted into chaos Tuesday as CEO Rupert Murdoch was attacked by a man with what appeared to be a pie.

Wendi Deng Murdoch, his wife, rose from her seat behind her husband to protect him and took a swing at the intruder. The man was taken away from the scene and the committee temporarily suspended the hearing.

The hearing continued after a brief pause with Rupert Murdoch not wearing his suit jacket and only a handful of spectators allowed in the room. The committee chair thanked James and Rupert Murdoch for agreeing to answer the committee's last few questions.

4. Ummm...

If we are going to go after the Tea Party for their escalating rhetoric, I think we should hold ourselves to the same standard.

5. Wendi Murdoch will be a folk hero. She actually went after the guy twice.
