The New Yorker magazine caused a commotion with their cover. But Vanity Fair could beat everyone else to the newsstands a week later with sinister-satire-spoof of John McCain.
Wait! Published ONLY on the Vanity Fair Web site ?!?!
That's Weak, with a capital EAK!! Put it in print and make this mess truly bipartisan.
So this VF Web cover's got McCain and his wife in a similar pose and in the same Oval Office. ...
171-year-old McCain, I mean 71, is using a walker and his babymamma Cindy is cradling an armful of pill bottles. She had a drug problem way back I guess.
President Bush hangs above a fireplace (he should be in it). The Constitution is burning this time around and not the American flag.
What would YOU add to the McCain cartoon?

How about adding Carol McCain with her cane and their three children...
Cindy was hooked on prescription drug and used her non-profit organization to paid for it... and never was punished, that's why she really proud to be an American.
McCain drewing is true and Obama false

Why tell not about McCains past? His ADs only tells about when he was a POW. Apparently, his life did not begin a that point. What happen to his first wife? Womanizing? He voted against MLK Birthday and we all know it. Everybody know that McCain is too old. He is some stages of demetria.
This cartoon still is not as bad a the picture on the cover of the New York magazine. I have never seen Michelle dress like Angela Davis w/ a weapon on her back and Barack looking like a Muslin. That was dirty journalism.
While writers and journalist are trying to make Obama look bad, its shows real ignorances on their part. How can we UNITE when some are still living in the past steady tring to separate the human race.
DNA does not like, some of the whites who claim to be white probably have some African American blood in their veins.

I like the cover with Obama and Michelle best. They make a really good team.

The Real Issues are not the spoofs in magazines. It is what is going to happen to middle class America if the following is not corrected: The recession/foreclosures/higher and higher gas prices/etc. etc. etc. I want our future president to correct these situations as well as the war and the budget deficit. This can happen with Senator Obama in charge, not Senator McCain.

We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.

First of all, The New Yorker has always done cutting edge cover drawings. We can look back at controversial depictions of the Clintons and Bush. The fact is, there are actually people in America who believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim and that Michelle Obmama is an extremist. Hard to believe, but it's true. I didn't really have a big issue with the Obama cover until the McCain cover was released. The Obama cover portrays an exaggerated picture of what some people believe, while the McCain cover portrays an accurate account of John and Cindy McCain. Although it may be harsh, John is an elderly man and Cindy did in fact have a problem with prescription drugs. Obama has said many times that he is a Christian man. And somehow people began to believe that Michelle is an extremist because she said this is the first time she is proud of America. I'm going to digress a little on this comment. I totally agree with Michelle Obama. This is the first time in history when Americans of all ages, races, and religions are actively following the presidential campaign. A woman and a black man were honestly being considered for the position of commander in chief! How does one assume that she's a terrorist form this comment? The bottom line is that we as Americans have freedom of speech, I understand that. But if we are going to compare these two magazine covers, you can't help but notice that one cover is accurate and the other is exaggerated.
