You gave us Rupert Murdoch, so it's only a fair exchange that we put troops on your ground. After all, we're just following Uncle Rupert's WMDs (Weapons of Mass Delusion.)

Oh, we've got plenty of troops already, a few more won't get noticed.

It's interesting that they were clever and poetic with their slam - the American equivalent (Fox News) would never have been that clever. They seem to think that cleverness is unchristian and unamerican.

During the 2008 presidential race, they had fun mixing "Obama" with "Osama", but that's about as sneaky as they could get.

I was all like, "Ooh Rupert, you're such a bitch!" It was clever, and now that I think about it that song isn't so forgotten, I think it gets played on rock radio on a regular basis, so plenty of people would have got it.

I remember the Osama/Obama thing, and don't forget *Hussein*, and accidentally mixing up their D and R indicators when senators were acting up.
