New Yorker Cover Mocks Palin's Claim Of Foreign Policy Experience

Gawker, Marc Ambinder and our own Rachel Sklar note that the New Yorker is poking some fun at Sarah Palin for her rather dubious claim that Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience. Scroll down for a full size image of the cover.

Sara would NEVER wear that brazen color!

[cornwhiskey]

Is it just me or do those look like Bush ears?

[Oridaman]

Just like the Obamas as terrusts to me. The New Yorker does this a lot.

[justfine]

I seriously doubt that you have ever seen, let alone read, The New Yorker.

Tell the truth, please. Have you?

[Seaglass]

Gotta watch out for those terrusts!

[4wehttam]

Are you kidding me?? TNY is letting being soft on her. Like another poster said there could have been a dead moose over her shoulder, her pregnant teen with her dysfunctional wannabe boyfriend, aeriel wolf hunting.....etc. Trust me.................they are being TOO kind.

[exactor]

Where is she now? In Russia?

[fignozzle]

nah.
just keepin' an eye on it.....

[Paul Peete - Huffpost Blogger]

Where are the wolves with no legs, the skinned moose, the kids like the lady in the shoe, the skinned Caribou, the bridge to nowhere, the church with the rapture, the Pipeline to nowhere soon? If this was their attempt to show equal irreverence, it missed by a friggin mile. That Condi Nast conservative doesn't fool me one second.

[LeeCalif]

Buy a copy, tomorrow, folks !! Support accuracy in the press !!! The New Yorker magazine.

[neenj]

no, let's not. no need to take our support to that level. I totally agree with Paul Peete on this one. While I appreciate the satire, it is nothing like what they did to the Obamas.

[stepintothelight]

Not!!!

[BAVirago]

The New Yorker is not being very respectful and deferential to Palin. So, let me save Nancy Pfeffentohouere some time and just say: That's sexist!

[gotnostyle]

You beat me to "THAT'S SEXIST" but I had to type it anyway

[Moarku]

Oh, it's totally sexist. By the way, did you know McCain was a POW?

[Harlemnite]

See McCain would not have to resort to lying if Obama would have 10 townhall meetings. That and POW are the only things out of his mouth. No wonder Obama doesn't say much because McCain will try to used it as his own. He's the change candidate now and the reformer. He reformed us right into this mess we are in. Please vote Obama/Biden and put country first...oops stole one McCain's sayings.

[unscum]

Will Sara Palin use a microphone in here ear during the vp debate? Bush used a microphone during the Bush/Kerry debate four years ago. I can see the McCain campaign doing something like this. Also, Palin has a lot more hair than Bush to hide any microphone.

[FatherKindly]

Of course she will, and will do so with the approval of the Obama-Biden camp because neither side wants the American people to know how desperately unqualified one of the candidates is. When Bush had his receiver strapped onto his back (you could see it through the suit coat), it was so he could be fed responses which he could repeat and not see such a dolt that if he won (which he did) an outraged public would rise in revolt,

I won't go so far as to say the whole thing is rigged, but there is always more going on with these folks than we are ever meant so see or know. It's just the way things are.

[Juneau]

Heh.

As an Alaskan who did NOT vote for Palin, I love this.

Check out these Alaskan news sites:

[firewmn]

How about some links that work?

[noamjunior]

obama in olbermann's worst persons tonight-

[ckfan]

FULL DISCLOSURE PLEASE - He forgot his anniversary date.

[yankee doodle]

And said it was their 15th instead of their 16th, as corrected by Michelle. Bad one, Barack. I'm sure flowers were sent in abundance.

[eloi]

Actually, he said it was their 15th anniversary when in fact it will be their 16th.

[JulianJons]

Actually he forgot how many years he has been married. he said 15 and they have been married 16.

[BowlingForRevenge]

Not the date...but the YEAR

They've been married 16 and Obama said 15 which is actually a compliment...Time flies when you are in LOVE!

[ToddPalin]

He remembered the anniversary date. He said 15 years rather than 16 years.

[jaslyn]

for thinking it's his 15th instead of 16th wedding anniversary . What are you, a mccain operative?

[firewmn]

nice try jr league.. it nly about geting the anniversary years wrong. I am quite sure McCain will blame him hard for that.

[PDXTransplant]

Well in this case I think Obama should be given a little slack since he's been a little busy lately campaigning for the Presidency of the United States. Po-tay-to - Po-tot-o let's call the whole thing off..

Did you notice the smirk on Olbermann's face? Ha!

[stepintothelight]

OK ... That's the last straw. I have tried to be supportive but a brother can only stand so much.

McCain/Palin 08

.........

I feel dirty now. Must go shower ...

You people have no idea what I sacrifice for you in the name of humor!!!

[moongal6]

Speaking of mocking.......
I am just now getting over the speech by Rudy and Palin at the Republican convention mocking Obama for being a community organizer.
The Republicans can see no further than their noses and what is in their immediate view.

How unpatriotic.

Do they not realize that if there were no community organizers in this country there would be no America?
Do they not realize the contributions of organizers such as Jefferson, John Adams, Samuel Adams, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin.
Our independence came about because of grass roots community organizing.

It is shameful how, as a group they seem to forget this history.

At this point, I will be more than happy to mock the Republicans for their ignorance.

[Phalanxman]

Oh, Barack, he ain't no community organizer no more. He's moved up. He's a NATIONAL ORGANIZER now, and I hear before long he's gonna be gettin' himself a new house!

[uclafan]

Why oh why is the McCain campaign abusing Sarah Palin? Stop this! Women aren't buying it!

[Paul Peete - Huffpost Blogger]

Hey bruin! I hope they print my comment, You being from the same hood might understand my point. I heard just the first play this weekend the one they called back. Did you guys climb out of nowhere'sville?

[jaslyn]

LEAVE BRITTANY ALOOOOOOONE....!!!!!

[stayinsouth1981]

I am a chickie boom boom and I will buy it and wear it on my shoulder.

Shame on John Sidney McCain. Shame shame shame~

[MikeJo]

with the Republicans this is a case of the blind leading those who refuse to see.

[rdipent]

No, it is a campaign where one lies and the others swear by it.

[Scytherius]

I can see the moon. Nasa hiring?

[eloi]

The moon is closer to Texas than Florida is. I can see it from my front yard.

[LeeCalif]

Sure, but first name 2 Supreme Court cases and spell the name of one foreign country.

Starting now....

[CrankyCurmudgeon]

McCoy v. Hatfield and War of the Roses

Canola . . . just east of I'll Ask Her. You can see it from Sarah Palin's back porch.

[Ish11]

From our houses we can see doom if these jokes are elected.
