Terrorist Fist Jab FTW!

In the midst of re-creating the controversial New Yorker cover illustration of Barack and Michelle Obama for the cover photo that graces this week's print edition of Entertainment Weekly, Jon Stewart stops briefly to pose a taste question. As he stands by the catering table in ''secret Muslim'' garb, he ponders, ''Would it be weird to be dressed like this and have a bagel, salmon, and a schmear?'' Pseudo-blowhard Stephen Colbert has his own worries. Striking his best Michelle-as-Black-Panther pose, he glances at the original cartoon and realizes that he's ''hippier'' than the potential First Lady. Gesturing at his own waist, he moans, ''I could drop a baby like a peasant.''

The entire cover is amazing, but I think the best part has to be the look on Stephen's face! You can almost tell that he's thisclose to breaking the pose and laughing his ass off.

That New Yorker cover is just stupid and racist.

Love Colbert and Stewart...

I know the whole New Yorker thing was supposed to be ironic, and I think that in a less charged time it would have probably been applauded because it's so satirical... but, with a lot of people out there who actually believe Obama is a 'secret Muslim', and that Michelle is militant and they both want to destroy America it ended up being almost irresponsible. The race is too close -- and waaaaay too important -- for the smart kids to start dicking around.

I still reckon Obama should have gone with Hillary...

If the Republicans win? I'm waking Cthulhu up early *g*

Am I the only one that sees it clearly implies that Jon and Stephen are MARRIED. Yes it does. Because they are.
Totally.
