Rupert Murdoch Gets Pie in the Face at Hearing

From TPM: The hearings over the News Corporation phone hacking scandal were briefly suspended after a man attacked Rupert Murdoch with a plate of shaving cream.

Murdoch's wife, Wendi Deng, hit the man back before he was pulled away and taken away in handcuffs.

Sky News identified the man as comedian Jonnie Marbles. Marbles tweeted shortly before the incident: "It is a far better thing that I do now than I have ever done before #splat."

A CNN producer in the room reports that Marbles said "you're a greedy billionaire" before trying to hit Murdoch with the shaving cream.
