deng! the wrath of wendi
By now, you've heard about the guy who assailed Rupert Murdoch with a shaving cream pie. The Fox Chairmon/CEO was testifying at a parliamentary committee hearing in London over his news company's alleged phone-hacking scandal when a protesting prankster came at him with a pie dish filled with shaving cream. Alas, he was thwarted.
And the unlikely "hero" that has emerged from this crazy incident? Wendi Deng, who flashed her claws like a frickin' tiger. The media mogul's wife sprang from her seat to smack the s#*t out of the shave cream sucka. I swear, you can hear a roar: With strong swipe, Murdoch's wife stands by her man.
Let's go to the tape:
Frankly, I think Murdoch deserves more than a few pies to the kisser. But you have to give some props for that ferocious, flying display of... whatever you call that strike. Wendi Deng Open Palm Style. Talk about standing by your six-billion-dollar-man. Can't say I've ever been much of a fan of Mrs. Murdoch, and I'm still not. But you gotta love that someone's made a Facebook page dedicated to Wendi Murdoch's Fierce right hook.
