The "New Yorker" Cover Kerfuffle
I’m sure you’ve all heard by now the uproar in the blogosphere and the reaction from the Obama campaign about this cover of the "New Yorker" magazine.
Oh, sorry, wrong one. The one in question that is drawing so much ire depicts presidential candidate Barack Obama. This particular cover of Bush and Cheney, as well as a couple of others targeting Republicans (highlighted by Don Surber) didn’t elicit complaints from their targets. It’s just one of those things that a President or politician has to learn to deal with.
The "New Yorker" is certainly no card-carrying member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. If Obama can’t handle this sort of treatment from a media source on his side (a source trying to indeed dispel the myths the cover is intended to satirize), he’s got a rough road ahead of him.
