Kudos to Rupert Murdoch’s wife for going all grizzly on her husband’s attacker. The guy was doing the lefty attack thing with a pie but didn’t get too close but close enough to get slapped by Murdoch’s wife.

If you watch closely enough in some views you can actually see her NAILS coming down! Apparently she followed up by smashing the "foam" into the guy's face as well. Guess she was trying to turn his other cheek.

How does a pie launcher manage, in this day of metal detectors and security, get into a government committee hearing?
Anyone like to discuss the six million dollar question, "Can it happen here?" — the phone hacking by journalists working for major national paper, not the pie launching…

Like a metal detector is going to detect a paper plate and shaving cream…..? There are bigger questions to be answered, like: how does a news organization manage to hack into a teen murder victim's Voicemail and delete messages…resulting in her parents thinking that she was still alive? A lot of questions need to be answered before we worry about a metal detector not detecting a paper plate with shaving cream.

In this age of alert levels and no-fly lists and TSA strip searches, how does one get anything like shaving cream into a government building? And then, on top of that, how does one crash a committee hearing?

Re: Anon,

Answer: one of the committee people let the launcher in as a guest to send Murdoch the "people's regards." In other words, the guy is a goon of on of those august statesmen!

It may be happening here.

Anon #2- "news organizations" don't commit crimes. Individuals do. You might be surprised to know that anything that's part of a system, especially a communications system, is fairly insecure.
Not quite as insecure as a meeting where they don't notice someone smuggling in a freaking PIE made of shaving cream, but still not very secure.
If they can get that in, there's no way that someone with an entire freaking ceramic knife set couldn't do the same, and if internal security is that lax… amazed they haven't had a load of deaths already.

ceramic knives since 9/11 have all been built with metal inside of them as a security precaution. knives that do not have enough metal be set off a magnetometer are not allowed in the US. Of course if someone bought an old one from somewhere else it could still be a problem. Maybe they should scan people or pat them down? Good idea I think.

Foxfier, Actually there is such a thing as corporate crime. Arguably corporations even within that framework are let off easily for the crimes committed as an institution. Obviously insurance for corporate officers, directors and executives/managers exists for a reason. Media organizations would not be exempt from criminal statutes relating to corporations. Obviously in this case everyone is doing their very best to make it appear that it was a "lone renegade individual" but from what has been reported that is not really very believable.
Media in this country is far from ethical on the whole. Public perception of journalism is at a low point.

Doesn't address what I said– that people commit crimes, not corporations. The category of "corporate crime" is for when a business has some responsibility for the crime committed.

Which country do you mean by "this"? GB, the place this is claimed to have happened? Very true. There's a reason that there's a small but steady stream of folks leaving their mainstream papers and coming to work for our tabloids– more respect, higher ethics!
Additionally, some ceramic (and plastic) knives have a metallic signature, and it has nothing to do with 9/11; some American states have it illegal to own a knife that avoids metal detectors– this didn't happen in America and not everything is made for American markets.

Still whichever way you want to look at it, it can indeed happen here (the nation in which this blog originates).

Any woman worth her salt would have done the same thing for her husband. Nobody messes with Mama's family!:)
