It strikes me as a stressful life.<br />What I find interesting is that before the hacking stuff, everyone, especially journalists, seemed frightened to criticise Murdoch's M.O. Anyone who did was seen as a bit of a leftie conspiracy theorist. Now that it's open slather, the left opinion has gone straight to the centre and everyone is pissed that they've been duped by Voldemort. (Yes, thanks for that. So apt.)sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-77788539687629181832012-04-25T01:37:22.063-07:002012-04-25T01:37:22.063-07:00Cunt(s).Cunt(s).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487456386841182116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-55351884757599672742012-04-25T01:35:20.530-07:002012-04-25T01:35:20.530-07:00Have you seen Rupert's latest wife?
