Here, let us all have an Important Debate over whether this flannel-clad " Jonnie Marbles " character who attempted to pie Rupert Murdoch during Parliament's hacking inquiry is the last True Hero in the dying human civilization project known briefly as "democracy," or a flannel-clad comedian who is merely distracting everyone from the real issues with his relatively unoriginal but historically-respected gesture to humiliate the much-loathed media mogul.
This is the U.K., not a U.S. court with a full complement of Homeland Security Theatre props. Guy probably strolled right in with it; if questiond, he told the guards he had a pie for Mr. Murdoch. "Oh, jolly good ... bring it right in!"
All true, but he was later adopted.
huh. i would have thought the new york times would have had other things to do.

Faux News: "Ooooh! Shiny pie tin!"
Faux News blowhards, in about two hours: "Hasn't he suffered enough?"
I saw a second pieman, behind that gassy troll on the right.
Well this was captured on video, so does that make the assilant a Murdoch media emPie-er?
Taste Bushville Beans motherfucker!
That pie guy is a real amateur. Everyone knows you slow them down with a pie but then you finsh them off with glitter.
I bet Rupert pooped his Grampers.
DRUDGE ALERT! SIRENS!
Hacking scandal is over! (Let us never speak of it again.) Pie scandal has begun.
That's what makes me think this was an inside job. Maybe some security types in Murdoch's employ were paid to look the other way.
