What better way for members of the MSM to show their allegiance to the new president then to have themselves posterized in the artistic style associated with Barack Obama? And so it was that the two Saturday anchors of the Early Show proudly displayed this morning the poster of themselves that they had produced via the website Obamicon.me with the iconic look that Shepard Fairey inspired. Co-anchor Wragge plugged the site.

CHRIS WRAGGE: You might not be Barack Obama, but you can have your very own poster. The website Obamiconme let’s you take that iconic red, white and blue Obama poster and put yourself in the president’s place. So look what we’ve done!

ERICA HILL: We offer you hope on a Saturday morning!

WRAGGE: Whatever your political persuasion, it certainly does like feel like a fun thing to try so we put our faces with hope. That’s us right there.

This brings on one of those “you gotta be shi**in’ me” moments.

Wow, just how stupid can some people be?

Heheheh - when I first saw the thread title, I thought it said “posteriorize” themselves (I know they’re all kissing Obama’s butt, however, didn’t know there was a formal term for it ;-)
