The Obama campaign is condemning as “tasteless and offensive” a New Yorker magazine cover that depicts Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in a turban, fist-bumping his gun-slinging wife...What I find tasteless and offensive is both of these candidates. Tell me these are the best leaders America can produce.
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds quickly e-mailed: “We completely agree with the Obama campaign, it’s tasteless and offensive.”
Why does the McCain camp parroting back the exact words remind me of the "Petarded" episode of Family Guy, where Peter Griffin hears television comentators use the critique "shallow and pedantic," and adopts that as his standard response to everything, including Lois' meatloaf?

I personally believe the magazine cover shows the truth, yes truth hurts.
Maybe I lack a sense of humor and can't recognise or appreciate satire, but I don't think the cover is funny or offensive. I think it's true and scary as hell.
What they're doing, guys, is dissing conservatives by portraying how we see him as a ridiculous distorting caricature.
That's what's really going on here.
Well, as far as I'm concerned personally (and they don't even know me)They've hit my opinion about the jerk (and his wife) dead-on.
Malkin has a great piece on this.
How soon the outraged ones forget when the satire is aimed at Conservatives..

Conservative/liberal... whatever. If you value society more than absolute human rights you are a socialist. They ALL qualify.
Never trust a New York journalist even when they are 100% accurate, as this cover is.
I saw this and thought "too good to be real" then realized it might be a move in a Hillary comeback (which would be no improvment) She was getting coronation coverage up until the time she stopped (or was it suspended?) her campaign. all the best, cycjec
