I’m not familiar with The New Yorker. Is it typically a Conservative mag or is it apolitical?

Its run by libs. But the Obama campaign and libs hit the roof over the cover. Give me a break - its nothing compared to how libs have caricatured Bush and Condi Rice over the years.

No, it's liberal, that's why he's so hurt!

For New York City it's about middle -- which means liberal for most normal folk. But it's got class. It is very literary, often tongue-in-cheek -- and I'd say famous for its cartoons (which is why this cover art of BO and MO is the center of such attention).

Decades ago, James Thurber used to write and cartoon there [On the other hand the noxious "drive-by" Seymour Hersh is one of the contributors there today.]

Real leftists have no sense of humor, so I think calling The New Yorker a "leftist rag" is a bit harsh. If I see it in a waiting room, I pick it up for its hallmark cartoons, if nothing else.
