"Rupert Murdoch lets it all go"
Edited on Sun Jul-17-11 07:29 PM by kpete
Rupert Murdoch: what will MPs do without someone to fear?
Britain's politicians have reacted to Murdoch's troubles like medieval villagers realising that God may not exist

....................................

.............The revelations over the hacking of grieving relatives' voicemails were the equivalent of a tornado ripping through an orphanage. "What kind of God would allow such a thing?" asked the villagers, wading through the aftermath. And they started to suspect He didn't exist.

They thought about the hours and days they'd spent in church, saying their prayers, rocking on their knees, whipping themselves with knotted rope, or flying round the world to address one of God's conferences, and they grew angry.

One by one they stood up to decry God. "He's a sod," said one. "No he's not, he's a monster," said another. Eventually they formed the consensus view that he was a sodmonster.

These protests grew so loud, God abandoned his bid to command the sky, issued personal apologies, and even seemed to wither – to physically wither before our very eyes, a bit like Gollum. (Although Gollum was never snapped in the back of a car in a baseball cap and running shorts, cocking his leg slightly in an apparent bid to stop one of his nuts dangling free, which is a crying shame.)

the rest: (still loving it, kpete):

4. Rupert looks like he's losing it
That was delish!!
I don't expect RETHUGS to ditch him on this side of the pond. They've already been given the talking points.

5. Yuck, imagine what you would have seen if you peeked in the window of that SUV. It sent shivers
down my spine just the thought of it. A large patch of oozing pustules and blistery genital herpes, two dried up and wrinkled plums, in a drooping, sagging, grey haired covered sausage casing like sack, and a gherkin garlic pickle dripping with blue cheese.
