Vanity Fair's spoof of The New Yorker's Obama cover

Guy,

There's a major difference. In the National Review, the portrait is of Cheney, not Bush. Admittedly, that is more reflective of just who has been ruining America for the last 7.5 years.

Freudian slip or just a plain old typo.

I meant to say "running" not "ruining" America, but the only place BushCheney have been "running" America is into the ground.

Also, you give the impression that you are responsible for 'finding' the National Review spoof, but the link you copied and pasted appeared in the combox below the article.

To avoid plagiarism charges in future, you might want to give credit where it's due.

Okay CHARISMANIAC NO MORE, tell me the MAJOR differences. You used the word MAJOR. They are minor but go ahead, list the MAJOR differences (personally I don't think you know what you are talking about, journalism professionals have already agreed to the extensive similarity)

As for your typo, its usually the LEFTY LIBS here that engage in TYPO/GRAMMAR/SPELLING NAZI activities. My observation is that the rest of the people here appear to have matured beyond such childish offenses and are able to navigate such human foibles.

As for some "impression" I gave. Ring...ring...anyone home? I pasted a LINK. That means I GAVE credit to the people that the link goes to! Sorry I expected you to actually be able to use some common reason. Next Please!

Actually,the NewYorker cover was a spoof on the lies that have been spread about Obama. The joke was - this is the image that some yahoos have about Obama, because the right knows that they can depend on the ignorance of their audience.

The Vanity Fair cover is just an attempt to be offensive by taking the truth about McCain and exaggerating it. He's old, but hardly using a walker. She did have a drug problem, but she's over it.

So the two covers are actually quite different.

Uh "I" read above. It isn't the cover of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker that is being compared in the exchange I was having to which you are referring. It is Vanity Fair's cover being compared to the earlier published cover of The National Review. Those are the two being compared.

National Review cover vs Vanity Fair cover

NOT The New Yorker vs Vanity Fair.

Next Please!
