"Bloodclaat! Babylon." (The Harder They Fall)
"Mongo - SANTAMARIA!" (Blazing Saddles)

Yep, Big Rupe has hit town and all those politicians who denied the Master are hearing the cock crow. Will the Great Satan call on his factotum in Downing Street to approach the presence and make obeisance? Or will he demonstrate his displeasure by casting him into the outer darkness where Gordon Brown and Andy Coulson weep and gnash their teeth? Give Dave a break, Rupe, he's done his best to stem the tide, and has risked being swept away by it. All for you, Mighty One.
Boris Johnson could be angling for the post of Murdoch's top political gofer in the UK. He was on the BBC on Thursday morning singing the Master's praises, and telling the John Humphreys of all the good things he'd done for British journalism (without going into the specifics). He declared all Murdoch's detractors to be mean-spirited and envious of his achievements.
