Rupert is thinking, "Godamn, mate, there's still a TV station in Duluth and a newspaper in Jacksonville I don't own."

Right, pie. Not bad at all, especially when compared to Bubble Boy holding the Dixie Chicks poster. How'd ya like to bet he knows how to take orders...

Sovereign Eye, that's Rupert Murdoch and his sons Lachlan and the other one who's just been appointed leader of Sky TV. John or James maybe?
I read that his daughter Elisabeth's a bit of a black sheep. Any truth to that?

I went to school with the one on the right. Not a bad guy in person actually. But back then I was smoking so much pot I didn't thing anyone was a bad person.

Sorry, ensley, misread your post.
Both Bubble Boy and Mr. Murdoch know how to take orders, but the latter gets more perks. Way more. Bubbles is too stupid to realize that.

The middle one is cute, but he's evil incarnate.
Plus, we know what he'll look like in 40 years--not a pretty sight.

If I meant "pure, unadulterated, all natural capitalism" I would have said it. I didn't feel the need to since such a thing doesn't appear to exist.

There has been much hilarity here in Britain this week because Murdoch has been here to impose his son James (the one on the right) to the top job in Sky TV. (Murdoch holds 35% of the shares) This has caused great anger with small shareholders, but the big shareholders backed Murdoch.
What many people have found very funny is that Murdoch has used his papers over many years to attack The Royal Family and the hereditry principle. Obviously ' keeping it in the family' is not something he is against when it is own sons.
Pie, I read an interview with the one in the middle about 4 years ago. He was bashing Clinton in the usual freeper style.
In my humble opinion these people pose the greatest danger to democracy everywhere!

As an (adopted) Australian, I wish to apolgise to the rest of the world for Rupert Murdoch.
And as a colleague of Neil Chenoweth's, I'd like to say thanks to 56k for the plug for his book. Terrific bloke - Neil, I mean.

Can somebody tell me why this vile, ugly bastard has the influence he does? Even Tony Blair has to kow-tow to him. I guess his genius consists of locating the lowest common denominator and going for it.

Actually, Elisabeth is the smart one and, reputedly, the one most like the old man. (The boys, especially Lach, are peculiarly dim.) But the Aussie "mate" culture would revolt at working for a Sheilah, so Elisabeth was shuffled off somewhere else in the empire. (Plus, she allegedly is the one most pissed about Daddy dumping Mum for the trophy wife.)
Let's get her on our side!
