New Yorker, remixed

Presumably you've heard some of the outrage about the cover of the current issue of the New Yorker. If not, go look at it at that link. I'll wait.

Now see how Mary Hodder has made the satire clearer.

Perhaps McCain might secretly enjoy the cover, but the themes illustrated on the cover were likely developed and disseminated by Obama's Democratic Primary opponents.

A more appropriate redrawing might have Hillary portrayed wondering why her strategy did not work.

Pix, you're wrong. Never once did I hear any of his Democratic opponents suggest that he was Muslim, that he was in thrall to Osama bin Laden or that his wife was a loony black radical. That crap has come from the likes of Little Green Footballs and its co-religionists.
