[Always Right]

The left's panties are in a bind because it is too believable to be satire.

I wonder if the New Yorker mentioned it was the Clinton campaign that found and released the photo of Obama in full Muslim garb, not “right-wingers”.

[wideawake]

The kernels of truth in this cartoon stoke rage in the cultists.

[Northern Yankee]

I like it!

I wonder how many copies I can buy?

Nice article ma'am!

I didn't know it was you until I went back to the byline.

It must be fun to see the fireworks, no?

[Smokin' Joe]

Uh oh. Heads will roll....

Both the Obama and McCain campaign call it “tasteless and offensive”.

So both candidates are opposed to the First Amendment. We already knew that.

Hey Jay, yes, yes, this is fun! I’m going to start buying the New Yorker again, it is quite funny, and their depiction of the Obamas is hilarious!

[Baron OBeef Dip]

The gun and ammunition that Michelle Obama has (I believe she'd probably like to ban all firearms in this country) and the Osama picture are in exaggeration.

The rest, however, is pretty much exactly how I picture the Obamas.

[Carley]

More whining from the left.

[Baron OBeef Dip]

The clothes that Barack Obama is wearing, the America flag burning in the fire place, the fist pump...

It's the Obamas all-right.

Just replace the Osama portrait with one of Che Guevara and it'd be a real winner.

[avital2]

they forgot the Farrakhan/Wright, Chicago corruption connections etc - the Left is doing a better job carving up the Dem candidate than the McCain campaign. keep it coming!

[6SJ7]

The cover is a total exaggeration. Michelle does not look as hot in real life as she does in the cartoon.   ;-)

[stylin19a]

When were the RATS\Obama offended by this satire ?

[Raquel]

PING

[Righter-than-Rush]

Libbies are so predictable, it’s one element of their character that makes them child-like and easy to lead... not to mention easy to lead on. ;)

I don’t recall such a furor over NY covers against the other side of the aisle... http://amrep.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/bush_nero_web.jpg

Shut up Hussein, your words do not hide the table cloth on your head.

[Raquel]

Poor poor Obama and Michelle, they're so rich, so successful, so handsome, but pooh hooh they don't like America so much because America is mean to them, and heyyy we're black too, how dare you criticize us!
