Another Palin Hit Job: Newsweek Cover Claims Former Alaska Governor 'Bad News' for Everybody

Sarah Palin's new book "Going Rogue" is set for release on Nov. 17 and with that will likely come a media blitz of epic proportions. However, based on the cover of the Nov. 23 issue of Newsweek, someone felt a response was warranted.

The wizards of smart at Newsweek took an image from a shoot of Palin that originally appeared in Runner's World magazine for the cover and splashed the headlines, "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah?" and "She's Bad News for the GOP - and For Everybody Else, Too."

...more (with bare-legged Palin cover)...

It just eats at these people that Sarah Palin is a popular figure...

[bmwcyle]

As Sarah smiles all the way to the bank with a successful book.

[Diogenesis]

What really, really bothers terrorist-loving Newsweak
is that Gov. Palin loves America and its flag.

[andy58-in-nh]

They’re scared.

[Gorzaloon]

*Shrug*

So both Newsweek subscribers, and a few people in Dentist's offices won't like Palin now.

[Rufus2007]

Haha I read it in the checkout line sometimes, but I suspect I would make better use of that time reading People

Sarah is the “swift, shining sword” we need to eviscerate the corruption in Washington. I believe the parallels between Reagan and her are stunning, except she’s more charismatic and smarter.

Let the media keep bashing. The “folks” know how to spot a genuine leader and patriot. The liberal media is already feeling the effects of their slanted reporting - it’s reflected in readership and ratings.

GOP 2010! Palin 2012!

[ABQHispConservative]

This from the idiots that have embraced socialism and have even given it a cover.

[mlizzy]

The headline’s not kind, but it’s a nice picture [she’s in better shape than anyone on my block!] and I don’t see where they’re “running” with this at all.

[THX 1138]

"She's Bad News for the GOP - and For Everybody Else, Too."

Classic projection.

She's bad news for the socialist lefties and their flying monkeys in the media...

[Natural Law]

The continued hits on Sarah are actually a public service. The more it is done the greater the self inflicted damage to the credibility of the MSM. More and more people are seeing that the MSM is really the mouth piece of the opposition and if they fear and hate Sarah she must be pretty good.

[eyedigress]

Just my guess. 50% will break for Palin. 35% will break for anything with a (D). 15% will be stoned and enjoy the view from Big Lake Lookout.

Did Jeff Poor dream up this wet dream posing as an oped in Jayson Blair’s hot tub.

What is it about Sarah that drives gays and gay agenda pushers over the edge of sanity into bs like this?

[Rufus2007]

It’s not a bad photo, but they’re trying to make her look like a bimbo

[rickomatic]

These people are like Pavlov’s dogs, or the mad scientist in “Dr. Strangelove”. They are unable, regardless of how inane it makes them look, to react any differently to popular conservative figures or ideas. It is a reflexive action on their part to snipe at conservatives. I believe they truly cannot help themselves. They suffer from a real mental disorder.

[BradyLS]

Obama is a walking insult to his country. Bows and scrapes for any foreigner with a fancy title but he can’t be bothered to return a salute or bring his hand to his heart for the anthem.

[Liberty Valance]

It's got to really piss off the kool-aid drinking brain trust at Newsweak to have to put a pic of Sarah on their cover to be able sell their so-called news magazine.



It is obvious they need her much more than she will ever need them.

Go Sarah!

[ReneeLynn]

She looks great in that photo. But yeah, I think the message is supposed to be, ‘Look at her. You can’t take this seriously.’. Dunderheads.
