'Oh it's just so horrible' :(
C'mon it's a leftist rag read by leftists which have revelled in the scathing satirical cartoons that have graced the cover for a century. I agree with the following comment from Politico.com:

"Clinton had satirical covers drawn of him. Hillary has had unflattering covers drawn of her. Bush has had 8 years of some of the most vicious (and often very clever) satirical cartooning I've ever seen. NONE of them every carried on about how "mean" and "unfair" the cartoons were. They ignored them. I guess the news here is that this cover is from a leftist publication about a leftist, but still, he should be able to roll with the punches better than this. The guy has zero sense of humor and he's totally green on how to handle this stuff. He's really not ready for prime time."

I agree. It was as tacky as tacky can be.

Thanks for posting this.
