What on earth was Sarah Palin thinking when she posed in a pair of teeny-tiny gym shorts for a photograph that ended up on the cover of Newsweek -- a cover she has called "sexist"? Perhaps she was thinking that her image would only appear in the magazine she was posing for, Runner's World, and nowhere else, at least not for months and months. If so, she had good reason -- since, as DailyFinance has learned, the photographer who shot the picture violated his contract by reselling them to Newsweek.
That photographer, Brian Adams, could not immediately be reached, and his agent, Kelly Price, declined to comment, saying, "I keep all of my clients' business private." But a spokeswoman for Runner's World confirms that Adams's contract contained a clause stipulating that his photos of Palin would be under embargo for a period of one year following publication -- meaning until August 2010. "Runner's World did not provide Newsweek with its cover image," the spokeswoman said. "It was provided to Newsweek by the photographer's stock agency, without Runner's World's knowledge or permission." The spokeswoman declined to say whether Runner's World intends to respond to Adams's breach of contract with legal action.

I hate the caption too. If Palin is so “bad for the GOP” shouldn’t they be ENCOURAGING her to run in 2012? They are nothing but leftists.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
The more they mess with her, the more I love her. I hope she keeps them up at night. LOL
Freeped:
Yes 30288 (46.4%)
No 35014 (53.6%)
I love that photo of her. It was appropriate in Runner’s World; Newsweak is using it to disparage Sarah.
Certainly silly we call it Taxes, and Fees, then there is licenses, and permits.
Yeah, a_hole....A pair of those ass-dragging, hanging-off-the-butt like the lefties wear would certainly be more appropriate..
I guess it comes down to how Sarah Palin wants people to see her. Not to defend Newsweek but can’t any magazine portray her as they choose? She isnt a declared candidate for any office. She is a former governor and a former VP candidate. Basically she is an individual out there pushing her book which is absolutely fine and expected. I just don’t get what protocal people are citing here that would make that cover objectionable.
That photo doesn’t hurt my eyes one bit!
It’s a great photo I wonder how it compares to the Presidents wife in shorts and Hillary in the bathing suit.

More than some of the high school girls in my area, too.
Libs. If the body is good to look at, why is it bad for us to see Sarah Palin has one? Talk about double standards.
Ewwwwww....now that’s the definition of “girlie man”.
Please...don’t gross me out.
Did she shop at the kid’s GAP?
What the %$#!@#$! is she thinking? What a fool! What an embarassment!
