Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
From Politico:
The New Yorker says it’s satire. It certainly will be candy for cable news.
At a press availability Sunday afternoon in San Diego, Senator Obama was asked, according to the diligent Maria Gavrilovic of CBS News: “The upcoming issue of the New Yorker, the July 21st issue, has a picture of you, depicting you and your wife on the cover. Have you seen it? If not, I can show it to you on my computer. It shows your wife Michelle with an Afro and an AK 47 and the two of you doing the fist bump with you in a sort of turban-type thing on top. I wondered if you’ve seen it or if you want to see it or if you have a response to it?”
Obama (shrugs incredulously): “I have no response to that.”
Go read the whole thing at Politico.
The full article on this is up now.
That is one serious Angela Davis Ohio Players circa 1973 Black Power Fro
ReplyDeleteShe needs a red black and green mojo rake in her left back pocket for the total look though
Frankly, Michelle would look a lot better with that fro than she does with her pseudo-Jackie Kennedy hair.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so dumb with her current hairstyle.
But then, so does McCain. Obama actually has real style, for what it's worth, which is just about nothing.
The flag in the fireplace is a nice touch. I won't be allowed to comment on this at work. But on the other hand, they do want us to smile at people a lot...
ReplyDeleteAre you allowed to refer to Barack Obama as "The Messiah"?
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteYeah, probably not a good idea.
I agree about the fro pastorius lol

ReplyDeletenice to see you here
I get to spend the entire day at work watching people react to that cover. I'm surprised Borders hasn't issued a statement that it won't carry the New Yorker this week out of concern for the safety of its customers and staff who might be hit by flying arugula.
ReplyDeleteRRA,
ReplyDeleteMay the arugula fly.
The more I think about this, the more extraordinary it seems.
ReplyDeleteThe left never says much directly (except that they hate conservatives), so one wonders if this is some kind of twisted warning.
I understand the satire angle. It is funny as satire, but surely the New Yorker knows that not all of their readers understand satire. In fact, the reality is, probably very few of them do, being that most leftists don't understand humor at all.
good point Pastorius
ReplyDeletealthough unsettling
LOL
