The Man Who Owns the News, Michael Wolff's biography of Rupert Murdoch is chock-o-block with the media mogul's wit and whimsy. For instance, here's an excerpted joke he told London Sun editor Rebekkah Wade over drinks: "God this is brilliant…what's the difference between a fridge and poofter? Well, when you pull the meat out of the fridge, it doesn't fart!" Ha Ha. He owns everything! [Gawker]

I think Murdoch's a jerk, but to be fair, I have heard a lot of gay guys tell that joke as well. I once read an interview with Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters where he told that joke…but without the 'poofter' reference-just a fridge and a gay guy.
It's funnier if I use Keith Olbermann's "pirate" voice for Murdoch. Arg.
i agree rupert is a jerk & for many many reasons but i know im going to tell that joke to my friends as soon as im able i mean really its funny i thought this was going to be some horrid slander but lets face it sometimes the truth IS funny & of course rupert would know wouldnt he
Well he is right.
Of course he's right! The old fucker probably blasts massive farts whenever meat gets pulled out of his pooper.
