Newsweek recalls 125,000 copies of its souvenir Madam President issue
The Telegraph ^ | 11/10/2016 | Rob Crilly

Everyone from pollsters to pundits got the result of the US presidential election wrong.

But few can have made it in such an expensive manner.

Newsweek and a partner that prints up special commemorative issues has been forced into an embarrassing recall, after it sent out 125,000 copies of its Madam President issue designed to celebrate Hillary Clinton's win.

Although Topix Media had also prepared a Donald Trump version it thought it was safe to dispatch only the version detailing “Hillary Clinton's historic journey to the White House”, as the cover put it.

“Like everybody else, we got it wrong,” Tony Romando, chief executive of Topix Media, told The New York Post.

The edition appeared on shelves on Tuesday but was hastily withdrawn.

She can retire to the Clinton masturbatorium and Library and be Secretary of Depends.

Can they cancel the TV show Madame Secretary now, too? It no longer serves a propaganda purpose.

It would make more sense - and help in the ratings - if the show just transitioned into "Madame Inmate".

Cheapest on eBay is $127, highest about $500... Didn’t look at completed auctions though.

Would have been nice to get a few hundred and trickle them out. Every dollar a libtard spends on them is a dollar they don’t have to screw up America with...

Was silly for them to do, but they don’t care about the loss it seems. They wanted to be part of history first.

Folks better keep those autographed copies . . . they might be worth a nickel in 50 years or so.
