The Bigger They Are

old, rich, white & wrinkly--- the kind of guy who you would pick out of a lineup if there was an ad for a television show about to come out called “the man,” as in that proverbial cold hearted corporate tyrant who will stop at nothing to profit from the suffering of others through the hustling and outright looting of anyone in his path, well, he began chomping up newspapers like pac man in the mid-1950’s as everyone under the sun knows, and he hadn’t stopped until most recently when he got his balls caught in the door of whatever limo he was being escorted into--- as the story unfolds and we watch the old withering pac man’s best friend and associate of 52 years, mr. hinton leave the sinking ship this past friday and all the dirty birdies like the head of scotland yard are coming out of the woodwork to bail on ol’ ebenezer--- amidst the arrests of people like New of the World’s editor, ms. brooks & prime minister david cameron’s former communications director andy coulson--- others in the UK will certainly follow & as mr. cameron sounds the alarm to pull together an emergency parliamentary meeting, the FBI gears itself up to investigate murdoch’s american wing of his empire & you know what that means--- FOX NEWS, HERE COME THE PITCHFORKS & TORCHES.

He fell from his ivory tower it seems....his son must have not had his charisma.

@ Doris Culverhouse. Thanks for taking the time to read, but as of today, Sean Hoare, the first whistleblower of Andy Coulson's had been found dead at his house---the bigger they are, the hard they fall...and this tyrant is not going to go quietly.
