Palin is not happy with the latest Newsweek cover
In comparison to other political figures, Sarah believes she is being treated unfairly. "I found it a wee bit degrading," she tells Barbra Walters on "Good Morning America" today.

Newsweek should have used this one instead...

1. Haha, yeah, that second pic is far more classy.......n/t

[WilliamPitt]

2. WATCH OUT FOR THE GIANT CRAB!!!

Oh. Wait. It's there on purpose.

:puke:

In the immortal words of another DUer, Palin's home looks like she got decorating tips from Blood, Bath and Beyond.

[catbyte]

11. Lol! Good one

[DainBramaged]

3. Then don't POSE for 'degrading' pics you idiot

they bitch and moan, but they are the ones whose pictures are being taken. Once your picture is taken, the image isn't yours anymore 'honey', get over it.

[karynnj]

15. True - this was a photo shoot that she agreed to and did after the campaign

I still can't believe NO ONE came after her for the way that flag is draped over the chair. Imagine if this was the background of an Obama picture. (Kerry, who fought under that flag and has a properly displayed huge flag outside his Boston home, would have been slammed from here to Sunday.)

What is her complaint? The title? The picture was taken to be on a magazine cover.

4. That Bear covering the sofa--tacky--so is the hooker sitting on it.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

6. Hooker with the crab!

[NYC_SKP]

10. What IS that Thing Coming out of the Bear's Rear End???

It's wearing GLASSES! :wtf:

[peekaloo]

5. All those dead thangs.

camel toe

bear skin

crab

[NYC_SKP]

7. Sheer Stockings with Black Shorts. That's a Very Stylish Look.

If you're a Hooker...

:P

[peekaloo]

20. The Daisy chain Duke look.

appeals to the GOOP Southerners. }(

[NYC_SKP]

27. Throw in the two Michelles for Triple Trouble.

Bachmann and Malkin...

[fob]

8. "wee bit degrading"? I suspect what I find degrading isn't what she

finds degrading.

Hey Sarah, don't use the US Flag as a FUCKING PROP for your GoverPorn!

[blogslut]

9. Was it degrading when you posed for it, Sarah?

You were a candidate for the Vice Presidency and you chose to pose in shorts for a fitness magazine. You could have worn sweatpants. You knew exactly what you were doing then and that decision has come back to bite you in your butt. Your selective victimhood is disgusting.

[karynnj]

16. It was after she was VP nominee - so she can't blame it on the McCain team

Here, from DU is an thread on the May 2009 article.

[blogslut]

18. My bad

I thought it was taken while she was a candidate.

Still, it doesn't change the fact that she chose to pose in shorts and wasn't clever enough to demand an exclusivity contract for the image. Runner's World sold the photo to Newsweek and that was a possibility that someone with a Journalism degree should have taken into account.

This is a woman who, during her party's convention, blew a kiss to the audience. She winked during her VP debate. She exploits her sexuality when it suits her and cries "sexism" when it doesn't.

</rant>

[karynnj]

34. My bad too - for not saying I agreed 100% with your point

I was trying to point out that she couldn't play it, like everything else, on the McCain campaign.

I completely agree with you that she went overboard exploiting her sexuality. Even here, for a photoshoot in Runner's World, she clearly has nylons on. I am not a runner, but I doubt this is common.

[blogslut]

35. Okay, now I have to disagree

Mind you, I don't have access to a hi-rez version of that pic but I don't think she's wearing panytyhose. I think, instead, her legs are oiled - very common with body builders and photographers.

Other than that, we are in complete agreement.

[karynnj]

36. That makes more sense

I admit to knowing absolutely nothing about body building and very little about photography.

[johnnie]

12. Of course it's degrading you idiot

It's meant to be degrading. Does she know the definitions of words she uses?

[Lugnut]

13. So why did the ding-a-ling pose for that picture?

Keep talking, Sarah. You're the best thing that ever happened to the Democratic party.

[baldguy]

14. She didn't feel that way when she posed for the pics & they were published.

[hlthe2b]

17. Her callous disregard for animal life just says it all for me...

She is a shallow, callous, dishonest, vain and very narcissistic woman. I am ashamed that some otherwise intelligent women actually buy into her act. Depressing state of American politics and society...

[EFerrari]

26. This is her parents' livingroom:

[hlthe2b]

30. Arrogant low life....propagating more ignorant, arrogant low life...

[bdamomma]

19. maybe she wanted to pose with rifle, or shooting wolves

from a plane, what a jerk she is.

[spanone]

21. well, she posed for it, and i assume approved it....anything else to whine about ms moose?

[EFerrari]

22. Somewhere a carwash is missing its greeter.

[SidDithers]

23. That was from her photo shoot in Runner's World...

the runners that I know wear all kinds of stuff that they wouldn't be caught dead in, outside of the running community. Are Newsweek and Runner's World owned by the same parent company? Is it common to use pics shot for one magazine in another one?

Sid

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. Yeah, they should have used the one where she was standing on one foot

The entire photo shoot for Runners World was a joke! However, she wasn't complaining about any of those idiotic shots back then that I can can recall.

This one would have been so much more dignified. :eyes:

[politicoguru]

25. Shake That Bear

That second pic reminds me of the "Shake that Bear" (NSFW) video that's going around!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

28. She should just be happy that they didn't select this one

[ecstatic]

29. She took the photos. Now she has to deal with it

If you don't want those type of photos in circulation, don't take them!

[Uncle Joe]

31. Well it was a degradation of the Flag, I wonder if Palin has a Stars and Stripes toilet seat?

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

[dgibby]

32. Tundra Tart! n/t

38. I was just reading a freeper thread about this, wtf? She posed for the damn pic!

Palin angered by 'sexist' Newsweek cover

For the second time since Sarah Palin stepped into the national political spotlight, a photo of the former Republican vice-presidential candidate featured on the cover of Newsweek magazine is sparking controversy. Palin herself blasted the "out-of-context" cover as "sexist" on her Facebook page.

So what you're saying, Jon, is that rather than using your own photographers' work for your magazine covers, you prefer to plagiarize somebody else's work that you can "recontextualize" (as bimbo Nina Berman puts it) to convey whatever agenda you are trying to push?

She’s young, healthy, fit, athletic, and goodlooking.

That’s a lot more than we can say about the current White House occupant.

Is that a real Newsweek cover?

Looks like they've thrown away all pretense of objectivity.

I guess the real story is that Newsweek apparently routinely plagiarizes its cover photos.

So on a thread about an article entitled "Palin angered by 'sexist' Newsweek cover," RINO leftist shill Ouderkirk says "Damn...she looks good !!! She’s a smokin’ hot woman!! and RINO leftist shill gimme1ibertee ads the word "buns".

Never think you know how low liberals will crawl - you simply can't think that foul. And even more - you can't comprehend how smart they think they are for spewing their garbage.

Sarah should be upset as to the way the Newsweek used Photoshop to make it look as if she had, in violation of US Flag Code, draped that American Flag over a chair.
