New Yorker Makes with the "Satire"

I thought the New Yorker was supposed to be a lefty rag but I guess they are engaging in the provocateur business to get people to read their magazine again. I would be pissed if I was Obama too. They even drew a picture of Bin Laden over their mantel.

The Obama campaign quickly condemned the rendering. Spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement: “The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."
