Newsweek's Cover Of Sarah Palin In Short Shorts: Sexist Or Fair?

Share With Friends

Newsweek (God Bless Them) has on its cover a sizzling hot pic of Sarah Palin in short shorts from her "Runners World" shoot.

I don't care much for Sarah Palin's political views, but girlfriend looks great in short shorts! I applaud Newsweek for their smoking cover, eye candy is a great way to get people to subscribe to their publication.

"The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate.

When it comes to Sarah Palin, this "news" magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant.

The Runner's World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness - a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation.

The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention - even if out of context."

Palin is none too pleased with Newsweek's cover, she wants Americans to view her as a viable and credible presidential hopeful.

But a bimbo who imagines she is a foreign policy expert, because she can see Russia from her back porch doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. Palin doesn't have the gravitas to be dogcatcher of Wasillia - the press should treat her as a celebrity, and not as a politician.
