Vanity Fair Spoofs Obama Cover
Vanity Fair Spoofs New Yorker Cover
From AOL News
(July 23) – Call it the battle, albeit friendly, of political cartoon satire. A little more than a week after The New Yorker magazine caused a commotion with its controversial magazine cover of Barack Obama and his wife, Vanity Fair decided it wouldn’t be outdone.
This week, the magazine published a spoof cover — published only on the Vanity Fair Web site — of John McCain and his wife in a similar pose and in the same Oval Office setting.
But this image may create some of its own controversy. It shows the 71-year-old McCain, often the butt of age jokes, using a walker, and his wife Cindy — who once had a drug problem — cradling an armful of prescription pill bottles. A portrait of President Bush hangs above a fireplace where the Constitution is burning.

They only showed it online, guess they were scared.
Reminds me of old MAD magazine covers ….
trash journalism.
No kidding, Purg? Did you see the Daly show take on McCain / Obama’s campaigns? LLOOLLLL
KTDP – NO! You’re not that old!
Mrm . . .ya think? LOL
and while both campaigns may be questionable, i really hope they both sue the companies for slander and defamation of character.
I don’t know, Mrm. As far as political satire in the US goes, this is mild. Any one who goes into public life knows there is an expectation that some take-offs will be done. The Daly show did one a couple nights ago, hilarious! It’s all part of the presidential campaign.
