Curiouser and curiouser. Day Two of the Rupert Murdorch-Wendi Deng divorce story turned juicier when ex-British prime minister and Deng pal Tony Blair got dragged into it.
Soon after news broke Thursday that billionaire media mogul Murdoch, 82, had filed for divorce from his third wife after 14 years of marriage, journalists in the U.S. and the U.K. with close contacts to Murdoch and his media empire, News Corp., began twittering about a scandalous possible reason for split.
Said scandal turned out to be the claim that Deng, 44, had an affair with Blair, 60, who happens to be godfather of the couple's two young daughters, Grace, 11, and Chloe, 9.
Blair, the former New Labor PM who was embraced politically by the conservative Tory/Republican Murdoch when he was in power, denied the claim through a spokesman today. But the way the denial was worded led to more speculation.

If that's true Blair has done just about the only thing on the planet that would make me consider voting for him again, screwing Murdoch missus, what's half a million dead Iraqi's between friends

I don't believe it. The chances of remaining intact after an act of intimacy with the younger wife of the Leader Of The World are so slim as to be negligible. And anyway, everyone knows that the father of Murdoch's kids is really Boris Johnson.

"If you are asking if they are having an affair, the answer is no."
This the denial, apparently, so it looks like he did her.

He (or a spokesman) subsequently added "and never did in the past", or words to that effect, from what I read in the papers...

An "affair" would be two or more humpings. A quickie doesn't qualify.

It would appear so.
Anyway, surely a good Catholic like Blair would never transgress like this?

At least this story doesn't quite require the industrial amounts of mind bleach that the John Major / Edwina Currie one did.

Or, say, the thought of the PMs wife and the Mayor of London going at it.
